A Tough Mudder…IsaWarriors take up the Challenge!

This past Sunday I had the opportunity to just have some fun…well fo rmany that might be the understatement of the century.  Tough Mudder is anything but a walk in the park and easy (if you follow the course and do everything you are supposed to do that is).

The IsaWarrior Team

Fun for me in that I was not participating but following the IsaWarrior team taking on the obstacles in what can only be described as lousy weather.  The temperature was a balmy 2 degrees C with rain, snow, sleet and lots of wind and some sun to brighten up moments of seeming despair!  They were a welcome reprieve just before the driving snow made sure we didn’t get too comfortable and had a chance to warm up (even slightly).

Snow, sleet, wind and cold…

Mud was the name of the game today!  Like lots of mud… For more photos of the mud, the team and the obstacles click here

The stamina and perseverance shown by all the IsaWarriors was awesome. Most obstacles had water to negotiate which made for a very chilly day and the risk of hyperthermia.  It is amazing to see just how the IsaWarriors made it through, fuelled by Isagenix, when many didn’t finish this gruelling charity challenge.

The Everest Climb…

Imagine for a moment a dumpster filled with water and ice (and food colouring…) and you need to not only get in but dive under a submerged wall to come out the other side.  Even the bravest and toughest men shrieked like the girls…! The Arctic Enema…See for yourself…

At the end of the day all the IsaWarriors had fun and rose to the challenge, despite blood and complaining ITB’s and goose bumps!Toronto Portrait Photographer

But in the end team work made the day and all IsaWarriors made it to the finish line, more or less in one piece!

Congratulations to IsaWarrior Team for completing the event!!

 

James Bond 007 is in the house…

So I was invited to some friend’s house warming party.  The party had a theme….James Bond!

The house is simply amazing, stunningly beautiful and the style and architecture are just simply amazing.  Got some ideas for myself seeing the house… Perfect backdrop for a James Bond party and everyone came dressed accordingly in tux and cocktail dresses!

For the event Jeff (the host) spent some time lovingly cleaning and shining up his sleek and fast M3 coupé.  Great back drop for a James Bond photo…ok so it wasn’t the Aston Martin DB9 but the next best thing.  See for yourself….

Girl’s night out…at Anarchy Gallery

When the cat’s away, the mice will play…..

Well when you let a bunch of women loose in a boutique clothing store of Angelina WronaAnarchy Gallery” in Merrickville and with local makeup artist Lyz Plant on hand to add some amazing finishing touches of colour, there is no telling what will happen…

Really, I mean that!  There were passerbys who would stop and peer in to see what all the commotion and flashes were all about…

Robyn organised this amazing event and asked if I would do some fun shots of the ladies dressed up in some really cool outfits with some very beautiful and interesting items of jewellery. Maybe do a few head-shots, some group shots and what ever else might come along or happen.  Well here is the story of what turned out to be a very fun evening for all in attendance…and yes that would include me too!

The evening cheese & wine event with lots of shopping went down super well.  Everyone had lots of fun and Angelina was the perfect host for such an awesome event.  Not to mention that her collection of outfits for the ladies to try on were amazing.  Lyz of course did some fantastic work with colours on the ladies faces and also did some of her own posing….check them out below.  Some mice and a cat lost out big time…oh well…

While the Cat's away the mice will play...Oh did that cat miss out big time...
