Emily, With Love + Clapboard House


Yesterday Clapboard House hosted an event at The Rustic Owl for their magazine launch, and my wonderful friend Emily from Emily, With Love was asked to do the floral arrangements for the event. She's a wondrous human being and has a keen eye with mother nature, and I'm so excited for all the marvellous things she will create. 







M & J



These two met approximately 6 years ago on this subway platform - Yorkdale station. I find stories like theirs fascinating and inspiring, and not just because they met out of the blue and instantly clicked, but they met each other at a time in their lives where things weren't going so well and they were able to help one another through their circumstances and situations. 

They were a pleasure to photograph, and I wish both of them only wonderful things as they embark on a new chapter. 


Macaron Day

Nadège patisserie is one of my favorite cafés/pastry shop in Toronto - they serve delicious, genuine Parisian food that brings me nostalgia and makes me miss the little treasures of Europe.

Every year, Nadège hosts Macaron Day and partners with an organization called Meal Exchange - a charity that engages youth to alleviate hunger locally. You can also find the photos on Hearth magazine, a lovely lifestyle magazine that features a variety of work. They just released their first volume which you can purchase on their website. 



the arrival of spring

I think one of the most satisfying things is going for walks - on my own or with someone's company, but most times I enjoy venturing out with my own company. Although, they're more enjoyable when things are neither too hot nor too cold. When the air is in the transition and you can feel the harshness of winter making way for a new season.

these days


These days, I am being shaped and sharpened and woven into character and unique form. To live is an awfully scary thing, moreso to live in the world that we live in, because we are surrounded by so many things that tell us who we should be, by so many people that ask us who we are, and here we stand with our human hands and so many questions and so many battles and I still feel like a child who craves beauty, and adventure, and wants to feel and smell and hear everything the earth has to offer. I feel this yearning will always remain, and I hope it always remains, because I never want to lose it. 


 I believe fear is not an enemy, I believe fear is essential for courage, but in order to attain courage, we have to choose it over fear - and that is a choice I must make daily. If I am certain of my choices, and have no regrets, then I must be doing something right. Trust that life is not merely the number of years you live and the history you leave behind, but attaining your own journey and experiencing all the things you're experiencing to shape who you are. 


These days, I am learning to live. 

a spoonful of sugar

"A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down"

Anyone who knows me knows I am an avid Mary Poppins fan, thus quoting her words, but I thought it would suit the post quite nicely. As I mentioned before, my aunt and cousin are visiting from Switzerland, and she is a wonderful cook and a dessert expert. 

So we ended up baking a lemon raspberry tart alongside a chocolate mousse.


I brought the goods outside to have a change of aeshetic, color, texture, etc. It started to snow, but just enough to show up ever so slightly in the shots. 


Making chocolate mousse is surprisingly simple - we melted 300 grams of chocolate, and in order to have a good balance of chocolate and mousse, you take 12 egg whites and whisk them until very fluffy. Then, mix the chocolate and mousse together gently and keep in the fridge until you decide you want to devour it.
