You’ve probably heard many photographers tell you to either shoot in JPEG or RAW. Most photographers will tell you to ALWAYS shoot RAW, no matter what. But, there are still a few that are devoted to JPEG and ONLY JPEG.
So what’s the big deal about this whole JPEG vs. RAW ordeal?
Let’s break it down.
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about my style as a photographer. Every photographer has their own unique style when it comes to their work, which sets them apart from other photographers.
I am so excited to be a part of the Scotiabank Contact Photography Festival this year, a showcase for talented photographers and organizations all across the GTA. Founded in 1997, the festival has expanded to included over 175 different venues and an audience of over 1.8 million attendees.
When I first picked up a camera back in 2012, I was shooting pretty much anything and everything that my eyes could see. It was a great way to get started and practice, but once I got the hang of using my DSLR and learned the technical side of things, I realized that my pictures were actually pretty boring. Taking a good picture that is in frame and sharp is definitely important, but there is a lot more to capturing a picture that is interesting and eye-catching.
Whether you’re just starting out with a phone or point-and-shoot, or you’re trying to improve your DSLR photography, these 10 tips will help you take your pictures to the next level!
Let the Universe guide your spirit towards the infinite force that you possess within.
Let it unfold before you and show you how truly powerful and beautiful you are.
Let yourself be empowered from the inside.
Let your aura shine brighter than the moon.

I went location scouting today for an engagement shoot that I’ll be doing tomorrow, and one of the area’s we ended up spending a lot of time in were the Bluffs. Our final 3 locations for tomorrow all involve some part of the bluffs, and I’m super excited for you guys to see the final results! These are a few pics I took today while location scouting.
“The days of our lives, for all of us, are numbered…We know that. And yes, there are certainly times when we aren’t able to muster as much strength and patience as we would like. It’s called being human. But I have found that in the simple act of living with hope, and in the daily effort to have a positive impact in the world, the days I do have are made all the more meaningful and precious. And for that I am grateful.”
― Elizabeth Edwards
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. – Mark Twain
Sometimes, I think we all should just stop focusing so much on what’s in front of us and simply look up. You never know what you will see. I enjoy looking up. Usually I look up at the clouds and smile at the sky, thinking how lucky I am to be who I am and have what I have. It’s my personal way of thanking the Universe (or God). This picture was taken at Fort Cochin. It was our last day in kerala, and I was pretty tired and grumpy from the heat. But, I happened to look up and see this beautiful crow sitting magestically, looking up as well. It felt like a personal reminder from the Universe, to stop being grumpy and be happy that you are with your husband on your honeymoon exploring places you’ve never been before.
