Travel: Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario
in Lifestyle
Wine country in Ontario is a beautiful region of vineyards and good food. While summer is a nice time to tour the wineries, the fall is great too because it's harvest season which means you'll see all the grapes on the vines. It's worth a day trip or a weekend getaway. Don't forget to research all the wineries ahead of time!
My favourite kind of wine: Ice wine
Lifestyle: Toronto Made Style at Broadview Hotel
Kait of Toronto Made Style runs a lifestyle guide and I had the opportunity to take a few portraits for her. October is Small Business Month and I'm thankful to be able to create custom photography for local entrepreneurs, artists and small business owners like Kait.
Portrait: Marcus in Portland, Oregon
He was visiting Portland, just like I was. He had decided to leave his career to pursue what he was truly passionate about: music. Just as I had with photography.
As we talked, I could relate to the thoughts, fears and emotions that were going through his head. I had been there. To be honest, I'm still there. But I can live with knowing that I tried and saw for myself if I failed than to waste precious time wondering if I could have succeeded had I give it my all.
If you've gone through this process, I would love to hear your experience and advice. If you're going through it now, feel free to ask questions. I hope we can help each other out.
Portland: Notary Ceramics
in Lifestyle
I've been following Notary Ceramics for a while and I love Sarah's work. Each piece is hand thrown and they're minimalistic, just the way I like it.
While we were in Portland, I stopped by the shop/studio space and had a nice chat with Sarah. I have a soft spot for small business owners and have so much respect for the hard work they put into their craft.
Before we left, I took a few photos to remember my visit and brought home a pair of matching mini cups that I can't wait to use. Take a look at this collection and you'll probably see why I love them so much :)
