It’s raining hard in Toronto right now. Here’s the Tuscan countryside.

Same view as the last one, but at dawn.

Speaking of balcony views, this was mine from right outside my bedroom in Ravello. Not a bad welcome.

The view from my balcony this morning, as my jet-lag asserted itself.
Missed you, Toronto! I’ll be posting a few trip photos in the next little bit.

Happy birthday to one of my absolute favourite people in the world—your free spirit, humour, and caring nature inspire me every day, and it’s a privilege to have you in my life.
Looking forward to sharing all the memories with you! 💛
In the basement of our office there is a really really creepy metal door that makes for a decent portrait backdrop 👻

Hey Christina’s back! We did an at-work shoot a while ago for an article she was featured in 🤓

These photos are a *little* old, but I just wanted to celebrate this dude’s 28th birthday for a sec 🎉

Thanks, Kev, for being a great brother and friend through the years! 💁🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️

I’m so excited and proud to share photos from my island/beach shoot with the amazing @samanthasheabutter a few weeks ago!
It was a truly effortless shoot with lots of great energy (all Sam), and the varied backdrops of the island gave us so much to work with. So much fun 💛🙏🏼 More to come through the week!
