She will be using one of the shots taken today for her own photography website. Check out her work by clicking here. Although the photos were taken on my Nikon, I had to of course Instagram and play around with some filters (not too much though as the natural lighting really adds to the depth of the images).

I ventured up to Upper Canada Mall on Sat. Oct.1st to for the Hope in Purple Heels event in support of Belinda’s Place – the first homeless shelter for single women in York Region. …I was a little sad though, because: a) I don’t own a pair of Purple Heels and b) I wasn’t able to find a pair in time! 😦 But regardless I went! And I’m glad I did! The event started out with a catered cocktail hour…and let me tell you..the food was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! I was the one that kept heading back to the table with the pasta in a little spoon and the wok with the shrimp! Guilty! After stuffing my face…I mean…eating and chatting it up with other attendees, we were then asked to head downstairs where the fashion show would be held! The show featured clothing and accessories from …
