I hope the summer has been treating you well and you've been enjoying every precious moment of this heat we've been having (I love it!!).

We did a 3 day location shoot in Toronto and had an absolute blast. A fantastic crew, many of whom I have known for 10 plus years, great clients (always a blessing) and the BEST location! The homeowners were very generous allowing us to shoot in all parts of their converted industrial space. The home is a vintage-lovers paradise...a mix of fantastic finds from old school maps and globes to this super fun montage of First Aid items on display in the powder room.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj54DBM3OvVf-9_Gdb6NdDmbOfmp7-b7MMFwTlIVrNENkJhuXMKeNsgl6B6-eKrFhGLecwbYurqYEU_Cp_26FHP_t9aVPRFxFFM95OPLHRHLSYaW6LuPcTMZvyBek0sZiqz9ckUsVkQco4g/s1600/IMG_5245.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj54DBM3OvVf-9_Gdb6NdDmbOfmp7-b7MMFwTlIVrNENkJhuXMKeNsgl6B6-eKrFhGLecwbYurqYEU_Cp_26FHP_t9aVPRFxFFM95OPLHRHLSYaW6LuPcTMZvyBek0sZiqz9ckUsVkQco4g/s400/IMG_5245.jpg" width="400" /></span></span></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Don't you love it?</span></span>Alanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14825467640489137965noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4934684870583641583.post-84448672742415202172010-07-09T14:01:00.000-04:002010-07-09T14:01:09.367-04:00Rolling into the weekend<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAnDk1TAM14-jGxz22dhJ3lNgkmZqO0xC6sfV4h_rgbvdI8EQey0S3UhkQgFe6HEDal9ft5E0-RXaza-gZyHu385is6bZzFCmCQF1RnVBXc10DL7rzaBmZU8JTBUEY7duxFT7tOF9oVyAx/s1600/IMG_0537.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAnDk1TAM14-jGxz22dhJ3lNgkmZqO0xC6sfV4h_rgbvdI8EQey0S3UhkQgFe6HEDal9ft5E0-RXaza-gZyHu385is6bZzFCmCQF1RnVBXc10DL7rzaBmZU8JTBUEY7duxFT7tOF9oVyAx/s400/IMG_0537.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It wasn't really an extravaganza but it was fun anyway! A couple of packs of sparklers, a lighter and a camera are really all you need. We did have a quick lesson on why we don't touch the end of sparklers, nicely demonstrated by Olivia on her first attempt but other than that we came out unscathed. Max was most impressed by the shots I took of them whirling the sparklers around. I confess, it was fun and I'll take any cool points I can get from my budding pre-teen! </span></span><br />
