St. Joseph’s International Outreach
Haiti Program
For over 10 years, my mom has been working with the sisters of St-Joseph’s International Outreach Program. She’s been donation her time to re-building the hospital in Port-o-Prince, Haiti. When the earthquakes struck this January, the hospital and all their hard work crumbled along with the rest of the city. Fortunately for the Haitian people another hospital had been built to withstand this type of damage and is still operational. Her efforts have now gone toward setting up this new facility. Tomorrow May 18th she’ll travel back to Port-o-Prince with the team for 10 days to do what they can. One day, I hope to go to Haiti myself not only to document their efforts, but to do my part in setting up their healthcare system
Here’s 2 of her suitcases:

A few weeks ago I had the chance to do photos for the Froud family down by the lake in Oakville with all the falling leaves. We had a beautiful morning, the weather was perfect…even though it was only about 5 degrees. Here’s a little peak into their session

Halloween time again. This year I decided to pay homage to one of my favourite photographers, [b]ecker. I decided to carve his logo into one of my pumpkins. The weather was cold and the wind was blowing! This didn’t stop the kids though. We hit all the houses in our complex this year. Now while they sleep us loving parents will “go through” all of their candy to make sure it’s all safe! Bless their innocent souls. Now I know what my parents did to me and my brother as kids.

I received an email from Stephanie Whitson saying she wanted to get her dad a present. Her parents have their family dog, Kacee, a beautiful Britney Spaniel. So we decided to take mom, dad & Kacee to the park and see what happens. Well folks, here’s what we ended up with. An awesome family with a super dog.

Just a quick random shot from my ribfest walk last week. This one made me think of Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo.

So my main computer is in the shop, so I’m only left with my laptop. I’ve had such photoshop withdrawl that I’ve had to download some pictures from my camera phone and edit them. Here’s the only ones that I could recover…

So my old car died on the side of the 407 a few weeks ago. We went out and purchased our new Kia Rio5. Here’s a shot of the odometer. I couldn’t get it right at the lot as I didn’t have the camera with me and I have to pick up the kids from daycare, so Susie got to drive it home.
