Tragically, I'd never been to High Park in all my 22 years as a Torontonian. But my mom remedied that by gathering the family together to go see the cherry blossoms bloom at High Park. It was a brilliantly sunny day and predictably packed, and the flowers were beautiful. 

We also took a stroll through the zoo, where the animals looked a little ragged as they lost their winter coats.

I wandered over to the lakeshore afterwards and met some swans.

A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of photographing the 4th Annual Fashion Against Poverty show, a registered non-profit organization that concentrates on transforming the lives of less fortunate children in Canada and Ghana, West Africa. 

It was really exciting getting to go backstage and see all the hectic preparations: the make-up being applied, hair getting done, wardrobes being readied, and walks being practiced.

Getting to photograph the actual fashion show and all the designers' hard work on amazing models was an honour!

A big thank you to the incredible team who put this together! Thanks for letting me be a part of the wonder!
