Maria & Drew – eShoot at Brampton Park
Aug 10th
This was one of the most ad-hoc shoots ever. Our good friends, Maria and Drew asked me to do some shots of them and we found the closest place with some greenery – Drew’s backyard. They didn’t want typical mushy photos either.
This was my favourite image of the shoot. The couple look so vivid and More >
A day in Port Dover
Jul 22nd
The whole family headed down to Port Dover on the weekend. We met up with some friends for an awesome day. If you don’t know, Port Dover is a little town off of Lake Erie with some nice beaches. It’s a nice little getaway for the day and only a short drive from the GTA.

June Craziness
Jul 12th
So between G20, THE Earthquake, birthdays, BBQs, and Theo+Debbie’s Wedding – June was a hectic month! Once again I tried to capture every moment in pictures, except the earthquake – I was too busy freakin’ out (I’m still a little shaken)! Theo and Debbie’s wedding was just so grand it needed its own post here.

The Queen Visits Toronto – Shot of a lifetime
Jul 10th
Seeing the Queen in person at Queen’s Park was an awesome experience. Although, we didn’t get a chance to chat, it was great seeing her and a great chance to take a photo of her!

Prince Phillip actually came up to us and made conversation… he mentioned that More >
Hope and River – Open House
Jul 9th
I take my camera everywhere! That’s right – I lug around the 5D Mark II with the gigantic lens just about anywhere I can. Earlier this month, Mandy asked me to drop by Amy’s open house after work. Amy started a business called “Hope and River” where she sells some really HOT dresses. Check it More >
Just Because Kids are Cute!
Jun 3rd
We have kids over at our house all the time. It helps that most of them are aspiring models too – anytime they see a camera they’ll want to pose no matter what they’re doing! OR eat it depending on their age.
Kids, really are a riot though – but this weekend was special because I More >
I Love New York – Our Trip
Jun 2nd
Once again, a last minute trip. It’s not totally a bad thing. We decided that we’re going to drive to New York City! Perhaps it was the architecture, the people, the pizza or the cheesecake but I fell in love with the place.
Day 1
First things first, we headed down to B&H Photo Video. This place More >
Behind the Scenes at Payal Promo Commercial
May 19th
I have a new found respect for Film production. I’m a huge movie fan and watch behind the scenes stuff all the time but being apart of the production was a whole different story! I was asked to shoot behind the scenes photos at a Commercial filming for Payal Banquet hall and do some interior More >

Google Chrome – faster than a speeding potato
May 6th
This speed test shows how fast Chrome renders a page. Well, its fast!
I still use Firefox though for mostly everything but the video is awesomely entertaining and definitely worth sharing.
The real message here is:
If you or somebody you know is using Internet Explorer – version 7 or 8 or even 6 (OMG!!), try Chrome or More >
Julie and Vi – Cherry Blossoms at Kariya Park, Mississauga
May 4th
Vi has been one my bestest (yes… bestest) friends since grade 9 – Turner Fention SS. Although we don’t see each other as often, we still make sure we’re there for all the important stuff (like watching Iron Man 2 – can’t wait!). When he and Julie asked me to do their engagement shots with More >
Kaveri’s Birthday at Avani
Apr 30th
About 2 years ago I was invited to take photos of Asha’s first birthday and now Amy and Dave invited me to take photos of their second daughter – Kaveri, on her first birthday. It was awesome seeing them again and really cool too see how Asha has grown – she has the most beautiful eyes ever! Kids parties can get out of hand but I’m happy to say these kids were very well mannered and more than willing to strike a pose for me.
Fal and Anand – Engagement Shoot – Lakeshore, Toronto
Apr 21st
Fal and Anand are an awesome couple to work with. We did the the semi-casual shots on the Lakeshore in Downtown Toronto. I felt sorry for Fal – it was so cold by the lake and she was freezing. She didn’t let it show, she was a great sport and wanted some good photos without More >

Trip to Thailand in 2008
Mar 30th
Sawatdee Kaa – its how you say Hello in Thai, if you’re a girl. If you’re a guy you would say “Sawatdee Khrab”. Whenever we returned to our hotel these greeters in these wicked outfits would tell us “Sawatdee Kaa” in such an incredibly polite and welcoming manner. Mandy and I still greet each other More >
Trip to Singapore in 2008

In 2008 we visited Singapore on a 5 day trip. We stayed at the Swissotel which overlooked the marina – stunning view at day or night! Singapore is very tiny place – only 34KM wide but jam packed with cool stuff!
It’s a very interesting place made of 4 main cultures – Malaysian, Chinese, Indian and More >

Okay, so this is huge. I’ve done lots of print ads that have popped up in lots of cool places, but this was my first ever opportunity to photograph editorial images for a national magazine. A big THANKS to Sanjay from the Suhaag Bridal Show for asking me to do this. The entire Suhaag team More >
Photoshoot for Haar Shingaar Spring Collection
Mar 11th
Ramneek from Haar Shingaar got her latest shipment of her awesome outfits and that means its time for another photoshoot! It wasn’t such a huge production like the last one. We wanted to really focus on the clothing and not so much the scene. I’m amazingly happy with the outcome of the photos.
We had Vinny More >
