This Friday and Saturday we will be bringing Santa to Bishop Strachan School for a visit and photos. We will also be selling our famous “Double Dollar” holiday give certificates all wrapped up and ready for giving this holiday season.

Friday is open to students and family, and Saturday is open to everyone! Admission is free and there are many wonderful vendors selling fabulous holiday treats. Get your Christmas shopping done early this year!

…everyone else had burned out and faded away. She saved her strength and beauty to the very end..

I saw this magnificent tree today on the way to a portrait session. I love the renegades – the very first and very last to change color.

Here’s to the rebels.

We are busy, busy, busy right now working away on the deadline for holiday orders (in case you didn’t know, this week is the LAST week to place orders for Christmas!!) but I wanted to quickly post some exciting news. The results are in….. drum roll please….

WE DID IT!! In fact we waaaaay more than reached our goal of 300 lbs for the Daily Bread Food Bank - we collected 1175 lbs!!

We had a few challenges (there was a three alarm fire up the street that led to road closures and Toronto Hydro cutting our power for most of the day!!) but we had so many dedicated little Pumpkin Patch visitors who made their way around the obstacles and came to strike a pose in our Pumpkin Patch photo booth. Suffice to say we will definitely be doing this again next year so tell your friends!!

Here is the big load of food we collected for the Daily Bread Food Bank.
A HUGE THANKS to all the volunteers who offered their time and enthusiasm – we could not have done it without you!

..the sweetest little gal… just newly arrived!  Much to the delight of her adoring parents and her very proud BIG brother!

Our pumpkin patch is now closed!  Thank you so much to everyone who came and supported the Daily Bread Food Bank!  We definitely raised more than our goal of 300lbs!  Despite the rain, the wind, the fire up the street,  and the power outage we managed to have more than 60 “click or treaters” visit the Pumpkin Patch.  Be sure to check out our Facebook Fan page next week to see all the shots from the day!
Have a safe Halloween night!

We just want to let everyone know that we are still open, despite the fire that is being fought up the street at Bathurst and Dupont.  The fire is not effecting us at all, however the street is closed only for cars- people can still walk up.  We would still love to see everyone today, however in light of this completely unforeseen complication if you cannot make it, we would still love for you to drop off your food for the food bank, they need it more than ever this year.  We will be accepting food donation all week.  We encourage you to come later in the day, as the street may clear up.  If this happens, we will be shooting in our pumpkin patch much later if need be.  Please have a look at the map posted to see alternate parking locations in the Annex.

Well, the excitement is building here at the studio and we are on an official countdown to the Pumpkin Patch! We have all our team ready to go, and we will be spending all day on Friday decorating. Tell your family, tell your friends… we are celebrating Halloween in style and collecting for the The Daily Bread Food Bank. For every bag of food you bring, you will receive a portrait in our Pumpkin Patch.

We have been busy, busy, busy around here capturing lots of wonderful family fun – here are some of my favorites from a recent home session. I knew it was going to be FUN when I arrived at their house, rang the doorbell, and heard the little gal scream – “LEIGH’S HERE!! LEIGH’S HERE!” I can’t wait to show Mom & Dad the rest of the photos!

Can i please be this fabulous at seven month pregnant?

after some studio shooting, we went to the graffiti wall near the studio… i have had this shot in mind for a while..

Have a brilliant Turkey Weekend everyone … enjoy your family time.
