Tearsheet from Burda Yukom Publication in Germany

I've been building up a German tearsheet collection, I should probably start to learn some German!

Love the unexpected

Setting up for a completely different photo, my little Olive decided to get in on the action. Sometimes it's these unexpected moments that become a favourite.

Between two worlds

Photo Editor, Franziska with Burda Yukom publishing in Munich, Germany contacted me to do some environmental editorial portraits of an employee here in Toronto and who they are profiling in one of their print media pieces. At almost 8 months pregnant, I have to say this was kind of a challenge. I haven't taken a lot of jobs due to the complexity and length of certain types of work, however since the baby has moved down a bit and I'm less compressed in my lung area, this was an absolute dream shoot to do! I love editorial work, I love working one on one with someone and working with a photo editor who gives you the guidance and freedom to interpret the story. A few images from our photoshoot near his office, up in Richmond Hill. Scott was a great sport and just relocated to Canada from the US and although our cultures are quite similar, there are always obstacles and challenges with a relocation. These are a few of the outtakes from our time together. Tearsheet and final selection to eventually come.



The other portraits are being produced in Germany by Albrecht Fuchs, http://www.albrechtfuchs.de/ an amazing portrait photographer. I have huge respect for this type of work. I really love the raw, emotional image. No smiles and the unique and unconventional mood is what I am most drawn to. It's memorable and I absolutely love it! Very flattered to be included and to shoot for this project.

One of our babies is now a book cover

I shot this awhile back, just some fun happenings in my house of 3 crazy cats and a puppy (not to mention a baby on the way). As most cats have a curious streak, I just like following her around with my camera and spending time in her world. Love all my babies even when they drive me a little nutty.

Looks like a baby boy is on the way

Got the results of our ultrasound a few weeks ago and looks like it revealed (although they never want to guarantee it at 100%) that a little baby boy is on the way! Have been photographing my new look and just bought the baby's first pair of blue baby booties! So excited and blessed.

Getting Bigger

Had a chance to take a few pics of the growing baby bump. I can barely see my feet when I'm standing. Feeling massive but happy to be experiencing this new journey.

Love is in the Air

Congratulations to Avi and Michael on their engagement, a beautiful couple to photograph in the various locales throughout one of their fave places in the city as well as mine, Kensington Market. All photos copyright, Michelle Gibson

Baby Belly

With a little guidance from me, my husband took a pic of my baby bump last week. Can't believe how huge I am starting to get, but excited for our new adventures to come!

Advertisement for Classical Radio Station

Leah is a beautiful baby girl. I photographed her a year ago without the clarinet or the radio in the ad, but of course the graphic designer added this to the pic. Overly photoshopped images are just not my thing, I always prefer realism, but had to say I thought this was a fun one in the end. It recently got picked up for a classical radio station advertisement in TO.
