I love catching people off guard in photos- when there isn't time to pose the shots are so effortlessly fabulous. Lynda Prince and Belinda Stronach at Powerball 13.

My conversation with Tilda Swinton lasted for an entire glass of champagne- she was everything you imagine her to be and more.


Carly Stojsic means so much to me in so many ways.  She is truly one of the most creative people I have ever met.


Freja Beha Erichsen is wonderful. 



Kirstin Dunst at the Melancholia after party during TIFF- I was really hoping to meet her co-star Charlotte Gainsbourg that evening but I'm not complaining. 


I love the way certain fabrics move on the runway. I have a collection of images like this. This one is from the Arthur Mendonca spring 2012 show.


This model backstage at Pink Tartan was pretending to smoke with a makeup brush and I caught her. Her smile, the way her arms are crossed and the way she is holding that brush are so innocent and in the moment.


Do you know what I don't like about Robert Gage?... NOTHING. 

Top models Meghan Collison and Heather Marks hover over technology at the Joe Fresh after party at The Ritz.

Over the past nine months I have watched Vanessa Mulroney's baby bump grow, she make pregnancy look so fabulous. Vanessa Mulroney, baby and Stacey Kimel at the MUGLER party at The Room. 


Sometimes the best conversations are had en route from one fabulous soiree to the next. Andrea Bolley and Rita Zekas. 


I met Sylvia Mantella this year and I have to say, what a gem! Sylvia is such a pleasure to be around, always smiling and having a great time, all while wearing something wonderfully unexpected.


Whether she's in blue jeans or a cocktail dress and vintage Chloe coat, Andrea Bolley turns heads. She is the most elegant and stylish woman in this city with a heart bigger then her signature hairstyle!
