Allie & Andree came over to my place the other day and we took some quick shots of them in some Playdead/A Primitive Evolution clothing!

A Primitive Evolution Halloween

2010-11-01T13:24:00.001-03:00

On Halloween I went out to Tattoo Rock Parlour to see my friends in the band A Primitive Evolution play for the first time! It was such a fun night! I didn't dress up but I got to help Allie & Andree put their zombie makeup on! Allie & Andree were featured dancers as well as doing backup vocals on one of the songs with the other DeathGirls! My husband Ryland and I were also taking a bit of video which I've posted at the bottom!

Do You Want to Know a Secret

2010-09-28T15:04:00.007-03:00

While Samantha was down from Nova Scotia in August we had a chance to take a couple photos of her out in the streets of my neighborhood.

A couple snapshot Ry took me me taking these photos. I love how many guys blatantly checked out Sam and the girls gave dirty looks.

Vertigogo

2010-09-24T14:00:00.001-03:00

Back in July Andree was over at my apartment after finishing up at a promo gig. We were hanging out and realized that we hadn't gotten a chance to work together since I've been in Toronto other then at events. So using what we had, the bra she was wearing and an old pair of tights I had and a broken TV we threw together a shoot! Andree and I are infamous for getting our best photos during spur of the moment shoots though it happened at lot more often when we were living together!

P.S. The title Vertigogo comes from the Combustible Edison song Vertigogo we were listening to the Four Rooms soundtrack during the shoot!

My Surprise Wedding (Aug. 21/2010)

2010-09-24T13:51:00.003-03:00

About 3 months ago, my then boyfriend Ryland proposed to me and I of course I said 'Yes'! We really didn't want to have a long drawn out engagement, and we knew we wanted to get married in the summer while the weather was nice! We were thinking about just heading down to city hall and getting a quickie wedding done there, but then we wouldn't get photos, we wouldn't get to play dress up or eat cake!

We decided to hold a small ceremony in the backyard of SKratched Studios! Our family is located all over North America and we knew the majority of them would not be able to make it at such short notice (1 month from the engagement) or if they could make it they would be spending every penny they had to make it. We didn't want to put anyone in a situation like that so we kept the wedding a secret. We had to tell a couple people so we could have our best man (TJ), maid of honor (Andree) and a place to hold the wedding (Sarah Kates/SKratched Studios). We decided to take a serious event and make it into a backyard BBQ/Night of drink and dance! We invited a couple people we knew in Toronto and told them it was a BBQ/or a Drinking wine depending who the person was! This was also during the same time that a couple of our friends showed up from Nova Scotia!

After a 23 hour drive our good friends Chris Murphy, Mike Henry and Samantha Marie were staying in our apartment! Samantha knew we were going to get married and had agreed to take photos, Mike and Chris were unaware that a wedding was going to take place. It was SO hard not to tell anyone especially when on the phone with family! We love our family and we wanted them there so bad! We are planning on holding a ceremony hopefully next summer on our one year anniversary in Nova Scotia so all our friends and family can be there!

We booked Gordon Kushner as our officiant a couple weeks before the wedding. We found his name in Google along with a lot of others. He was in our price range (which was not much) and seemed like a great guy, and we were right. We had a meeting in his apartment before the wedding and he was an awesome person! He was incredibly down to earth and we spent the majority of our time there just chatting about the 60's. If you are planning on getting married in the Toronto area I would highly recommend Gordon Kushner!

Ry and I both ended up losing our jobs leaving us with very little money and an apartment filled with Nova Scotians within two weeks of hiring Gordon and the cake. We wouldn't have been able to pull off the wedding the way we did if we didn't have a ton of help from our amazing friends! I was thinking about calling it off several times and just heading to City Hall, but got talked out of it!

Our wedding was set on a day that just happened to land after a week of nice weather, so of course it rained! Thankfully the rain stopped to a trickle before the wedding started and the ceremony took place under a large tree which helped in keeping the rain off once it started. One of Sarah Kates' neighbors were kind enough to lend us a large tent that we put the table under. People showed up expecting a BBQ, many brought food which was awesome. An hour after we told people to show we a bunch of us disappeared. At the same time Sarah and Samantha started to bring out balloons, streamers and lighting candles (though unfortunately the rain wrecked the streamers and by the time we were getting married they were torn and blown around)!

After a quick outfit change The Beatles - Real Love started to play and Ry and Gordon started to walk down the path towards the crowd. It was at about this time that people started to realize what was going on! TJ and Andree walked out and then I walked! The music stopped and we had a sweet quick ceremony!

After the signing of the papers we got to cutting the cake, which of course Ry and I put in each others faces! It also got all over the gloves Monique gave me for my dress so I had to take them off, which was sad! We took some photos in the falling sunlight. We were going to get the BBQ going then but then it started to rain heavier! We were in the middle of our second dance ( first was The Beatles - Real Love second was John Lennon - (Just Like) Starting Over) when the rain started to fall even heavier, we had to stop dancing and run the CD player under the tent! We all huddled under the tent eating cake, drinking, talking and waiting for the rain to stop, which it didn't! We ended up all heading into Sarah's studio for the rest of the night!

It was a fun night! Made me sad that our family couldn't be there but we're going to make sure as many as we can make it to the ceremony next August! Check out the photos below!

We were able to pull it off thanks to:

Andrée de Villers for putting endless nights into helping out with the majority of the planning, purchasing decorations and arranging the making of the cake and my bouquet! Along with helping me get dressed quickly before the wedding and being my maid of honor.

Monique Syrett and Andree de Villers (again) for making my amazing dress! Using some old pros from photoshoot or burlesque performances they threw together a rocking 80's dress!

Sarah Kates for giving us her backyard/studio to hold the ceremony, along with buying a lot of essentials for the decorations and BBQ! Helped us put glitter in and blow up the 80 balloons! Helping out the the quick transformation of the back yard into a wedding! Putting balloons out, lighting candles, hanging streamers and gathering the small group of poeple together. Although the streamers didn't work due to the rain. :(

Samantha Marie for agreeing to take photos at the wedding although she hasn't been taking photos lately due to her laptop being broken. Also with helping Sarah Kates with the decorations!

TJ and his fiance Rochelle for coming in from St. Thomas so TJ could be Ry's best man and Roch could be our DJ!

Ryan for making the cake and the bouquet in such a short time!

Gordon Kushner for being affordable and awesome!

Ryland Forsythe for being the most amazing husband ever!!! Love love love! =D

Pride Toronto - 2010 Parade

2010-08-10T23:50:00.008-03:00

This article contains nudity. If you do not wish to see said nudity please use the directory on the right to go to another post ------------------------------>

Amazingly this was my first pride parade! Every year while I was in Halifax something would come up and I would end up working during the parade! This year I made sure I wasn't going to miss the epicness that is the Toronto Pride Parade!

The Pride Toronto Parade/Festival is so amazing and massive and fun! The only downside to the parade was the weather was not the greatest... better then a thunder storm, but still annoying, not a cloud in the sky, boiling hot, no shadows to stay in, I got a bad burn! Even with a ton of sunblock I am apparently WAY too Irish for the sun! Totally worth it!

Pride Toronto - Cyndi Lauper @ Queen's Park

2010-07-13T19:59:00.003-03:00

Pride weekend was so much fun! Saturday night I got together a group of friends and we headed out to Queen's Park to watch Cyndi Lauper play a free show in Queen's Park!

We also caught two of the opening acts; Dragonette and one of our favorite bands from Nova Scotia, Ruby Jean and the Thoughtful Bees!

Cyndi Lauper is one of my all time favorite singers! She was beyond amazing to see live! She didn't play any of her pop songs until around an hour into her performance, instead she stuck to singing her new stuff, amazing blues songs/covers! She was accompanied with a classic blues band and she came out dressed up like the Blues Brothers! <3!
Check out Pride Toronto's website for more Pride Events!

Edward Michalik and I have worked together three times now! Edward has an amazing imagination and a way with words! I wish we had the time to work together more while I was in Halifax. So many great ideas, so little time! Hopefully we will be able to collaborate again in the future! Edward is the creator of PANG: The Human Realm Blog!

Here is the description of this shoot in the words of Edward:

"The inspiration for the shoot was twofold: my desire to work one more time with the brilliant photographer, Sarah DeVenne, before she lit out to conquer Toronto, and my unceasing ambition to be a knight, a nobleman, if not in title then in spirit. In retrospect, the shoot is an homage to Terry Gilliam’s under-appreciated masterpiece, The Fisher King (1991)."

The Ride of the Valkyries

2010-04-08T00:29:00.001-03:00

My good friend Mike Henry has an excessive amount of vintage clothing/props from the Vietnam war as well as a replica M-16!
Mike needed a good model and location so we dressed up my boyfriend Ryland and took a drive out to the woods! Unfortunately it is only the beginning of April in Nova Scotia so there was no greenery. I had a lot of fun playing around with the colors in photoshop!

Fun in the Autum sun!

2009-11-10T13:48:00.001-04:00

We had our first real snow storm earlier this week! The next day was beautiful though! I took that opportunity and went to my old neighborhood in Bedford to take photos of three beautiful children!

Meet six month old Cassius, two year old Makayla, and four year old Declyn!

Début Rocks!

2009-11-04T15:04:00.027-04:00

I have been planning this shoot - in two parts - for about 3 years...

For years, I've been saving up CDs/DVDs, any time a burn would fail or I got a hold of useless software [like the CD you get from Black's when you buy a Camera] I saved them up! 3 years later I had around 200 so I decided to do the shoot! The second half of this shoot is Samantha's dress. I did a Début dress photo shoot back at the beginning of 2009, that shoot was over the top gowns! Samantha was part of that as well and during the fitting we found this pink sequenced dress that I fell in love with. I wanted to use it so bad, but there was no way it was fitting in with the gown shoot. Somehow, the dress still hadn't been sold come June! I took that opportunity to work that dress, and several other beautiful dresses, into the CD shoot! This shoot was super rushed but a ton of fun and I am very happy with the results.

Samantha and Karen are regular models, but Paula and Naomi are not models, they are performers! Paula sings the local funk band Chalkpit and Naomi is a Canadian Idol alum who sings in the band Aquestrya!

Samantha Cavanagh-Gill

Paula Sherrie

Karen Murdock

Naomi-Joy Blackhall-Butler

As an added bonus to these shots, Naomi's dress was able to look stunning, all while hiding...

... The fact that she is 4 months into her second pregnancy, TWINS! =D

Congratulations Naomi and her fiancé Peter!!

Thank you so much Samantha, Karen, Paula and Naomi!

Thanks to Ryland and Samantha for helping with the CD wall!

Big thank you to Irina Biletska at Début Fashions! If you are looking for a dress for any occasion look no further then Début Fashions in Park Lane Mall, Halifax, 902.429.3444!

And of course a HUGE thank you to Brian Larter and Karen Murdock of Aperture Studios [The best photo studio/rental in Nova Scotia] for letting us take over for a few hours!

Road To Nowhere

I had the pleasure of working with Allison Wood again right before she moved to Toronto! We teamed up with make up artist Andrea McLean and hit the streets of Dartmouth! Two hours of roaming around in gutters and side streets while wearing very expensive shoes, changing in the car, keeping the wig from flying away and a constant honking of from the highway turned into an amazingly fun shoot with great results! I love taking advantage of the short Nova Scotia summer weather! I would really love to do another shoot like this one again, when I have the time!

Check out: Allison Wood's MM + Andrea McLean's MM!

This happened last month, but I figured it was worthy of going in the new blog:

PAUL McCARTNEY CAME TO HALIFAX!

I didn't think I would ever be able to witness such an amazing event. A Beatle, played Halifax! I was so close!!!

The show happened back on July 11th, Paul put on such an amazing show playing for close to 3 hours, 27 songs in the main set, 4 during the first encore (including Mull of Kintyre which featured the 78th Highlanders Pipe Band from Halifax!!) and 5 more songs during a second encore! 36 songs in all!

Amazing energy all through the show, the senior Beatle didn't slow down at all! Constantly changing instruments and playing non-Paul Beatles songs! And he brought out a real treat playing Day Tripper which has never been played live by a solo-Beatle!

I turned into a hysteric fan screaming and crying the hole show! I was somehow able to get some photos and even videos through the chaos and the fact I was shooting with a point and shoot Canon PowerShot SD1000 Digital that had the batteries die less then half way though Paul's show!

1101 Tower Rd.

1101 Tower Road was probably my favorite place to hang out in the city. Located in the south end of Halifax, it is part of the Historic Properties. A bunch of friends of mine had been renting it out since last year. Earlier this year they got word the the building they were staying in [broken up into apartments] had been sold and that they had a couple months to get out. Now that they have been kicked out I no longer have one of my favorite places to shoot and many people have lost an awesome place to hang out and party. :(

Once they got the word that they were being kicked out they started putting on concerts out of one of the bedrooms. Great times, it will be missed. There are two videos from one of the 'Funk It!' parties up Here
