Maternity Photoshoot – Mike & Tara

May 19, 2011

A couple of weeks before Clara Noelle was born, I met up with the expectant couple, Mike & Tara for a quick photo session.


The expectant couple is so easy-going and relaxed around the camera.

Location is Victoria Park in Kitchener, Waterloo.


A beautiful spring day, trees are starting to turn green and lots of animals out and about in the warmer weather.

I brought along my new lens, the Pentax-DA* 50-135mm F2.8 ED [IF] SDM and it was a joy to use. Tack sharp and silent.

Congrats to the new baby :)

Anna & Adam’s Wedding

November 15, 2010

Flying back from Hong Kong and landed at 12:30pm and had to be at the ceremony by 3pm. Rushing out of the house I grabbed the nearest camera, an Olympus EP-1 with a 25mm F1.4 C-mount lens. The combo turned out to be a lot of fun and quite versatile in the low light situation.



The newly wed couple :)

Preparing for the Q&A session.

On your mark…

“Who will spend more time in front of the mirror?”

The first dance.

Last part of the Aquarium trilogy.



Lion Fish

I call it the minesweeper crab – it digs up the sand around it to find food.


Leafy Sea Dragon


This toad is so fat!


I hope you have enjoyed this series from the Aquarium!

New England Aquarium Photoshoot Pt.II

September 17, 2010

Continuing from Part I of the photo series taken from the New England Aquarium, this time onto different animal types.


I was able to join the trainings sessions for the Atlantic Harbor Seals.

The trainer performing a visual inspection.

*Shame*

Tea-time at 3pm. They were so coorperative when hungry!

High five with a child. She was startled that the seal could leap so high out of the water!


Greeting the visitors.

A small eel-like animal that I stumbled upon.

This fish has suction cups on its belly and can stick to the glass vertically.

Starfish in the wave pool.

Whale watching with Captain Debb, perfect conditions with blue skies and calm sea conditions.

Passenger spotted a whale in the distance.

Close encounter with a Minke Whale, breaking the surface for fresh air.
