The Weir Family | Toronto Day in the Life Session

I had the pleasure of visiting Laura, Tyler and Madeline for a full day in the life session.

It kind of felt like I was coming full circle, Laura & Tyler were my first ever paying wedding customers.

I’m really enjoying these Day in the Life sessions; if you can picture yourself in images like these, shoot me an email and we’ll get something set up.

Rocking out some playtime in the jammies.

This is probably my favourite shot of the day.  Every morning Tyler comes home from the gym and Madeline waits by the window for him.

A little nap.  6 month old’s nap a lot.

play time with daddy.

kids love cameras.

We headed down to the BrickWorks for a walk and some pictures.

who’s this guy sitting beside me?

the world looks different from 6 inches off the ground.

love this shot.

A nice family portrait on the porch of the house.

Bath time.  Gotta love those baby blues.

Tyler hamming it up for the girls.

I like this one better than the more traditional portraits I got just before this.

Quiet time just before bed.

Awaken Workshop | Toronto

This past weekend I had the pleasure of being the official photographer of the Awaken Workshop held at the Gladstone Hotel in Toronto.

It was a great two days with some of Toronto’s best wedding photographers sharing their knowledge and passion.

A big thanks to Dave & Charlotte for putting this all together, can’t wait to see what’s in store for next year.

Here’s some of my favourite pics.

Dave Biesse started the show off with a bang!

Robert Nowell telling us all about having balance in our lives.

Robert was giving his talk with his good friend Bryan Caporicci.

My good friend Taylor Jackson talking about finding your target market.

Day 2 started off with a hypnotist giving a great talk about how to use your subconscious mind to be more creative.

Charlotte talking babies, babies and more babies.

Rebecca Wood talking about keeping things simple.

The workshop ended with the StillMotion crew talking cinema.  Here’s Justin…

And Amina…

Here’s all the presenters for a quick group shot.

Awaken Workshop 2010 – March 20-21 – Toronto, Ontario from Andrew Sorlie on Vimeo.

Just wanted to let everyone know about the Awaken Workshop being held in Toronto on March 20-21, 2010 at the Gladstone Hotel.

There’s a great lineup of speakers, some of the best photographers in Canada.  I’ll be there working behind the scenes, so make sure to say hi.

Tickets can be purchased here. (photography students can get 2 for 1 admission!)

Here’s a blurb from the official site:


Come down to Toronto’s historic Gladstone Hotel and open your mind to some of Toronto’s most talented portrait and wedding photographers as they share their insights and thought processes with you in a candid and informal manner.

This is a weekend specifically designed to awaken your inner artist and allow you the freedom to become more heart-felt, honest and truthful with your photography.

We have an incredible line up of photographers eager to give back to their photographic community.

WPJA Winning Image

The WPJA Q4 contest results were released today and I’m proud to say one of my images placed 13th in the ‘Bride Getting Ready’ category.

It’s one of my favorite images from 2009 from Sarah + Phil’s wedding in August in Elmira/Mississauga.

WPJA contests are truly a worldwide affair, so to place against some of the best wedding photographers in the world is an honor.

You get what you pay for :)

Just a cautionary tale to all those brides out there looking for a photographer.
