I hope you all had a fabulous Mother’s Day weekend and your little people spoiled you rotten!
I just used the random number generator to pick our Mother’s Day Hunter Rainboot contest winner. Congratulations Lisa!
We will be in touch to get your Mom’s size and have the boots sent over to you!

Our good friend Rebecca Wood is having her first show apart of the Contact Photography Festival this year at Mercury espresso bar on Queen East. It was a wonderful opening – and we couldn’t have had better weather. I can’t wait to check out some other great exhibits that are taking place during Contact.
Have a wonderful weekend – get outside and enjoy this amazing spring weather!

This little man is about to become a big bro. I met up with him a few weeks ago to capture this time in his life, just before the BIG change. I’ll be back soon to capture the arrival of his little sister or brother so stay tuned for part two.
Who doesn’t love a good tickle? When I was little my dad used to tickle the bejeebers (not sure if that is a word but you get what I mean!) out of us. Once I laughed so hard I peed! I had warned my Dad but he just wouldn’t listen!
Wishing you a Mother’s Day Weekend full of tickles and belly laughs!

…they only bloom for what feels like a second, but is perhaps closer to a week! Our timing was perfect, and this secret spot that I love is so quiet we didn’t even have to share it! Right in the heart of the city – a beautiful Saturday morning, a sea of pink blossoms and three beautiful sisters.
Mother’s day is just around the corner! Have you thought of something fabulous to do for your Mom? More importantly, have you entered to win the Hunter wellies we are giving away? http://www.tynanstudio.com/freshgoodsblog/?p=2384

I LOVE it when we get to visit with families who we haven’t seen for a couple years! These two have grown up a lot in two years (the shot below was taken in almost exactly two years ago) – but I’m so glad to see that they haven’t lost their silliness!

Happy Tuesday! Don’t forget to comment on the Hunter Rain Boots post for your chance to win a pair of yellow ones for mother’s day!

With Mother’s Day just around the corner we thought we would take this chance to spoil a mom with some NEW hunter rain boots. It’s super simple to enter – just comment on this post then visit us on Facbeook and “like” our page. Your comment can be as simple as a happy face, or you can take a second to write why you love being a mom, or why you love your mom if you’re trying to win the boots for her. We’ll randomly select a winner from the comments below on Monday May 14th @ 9am. As an added bonus to the winner, we are going to include a family portrait session with Leigh Tynan and a fine art giclee 16×24 print.

The Fine Print:
The winner MUST be a fan of the Tynan Studio page on Facebook
The winner MUST have only commented on the blog post ONCE
We will contact the winner over facebook so they must check their facebook page by Friday May 18th to let us know their boot size.
The portrait session MUST take place in Toronto on a WEEKDAY and expires December 2012.
Wherever your weekend takes you… I hope it’s a great one!! I went out yesterday with Mom and Nickie to check out some spots for upcoming spring portrait sessions. The parks are looking good people! If you have some free time this weekend, get out and enjoy them!

I captured this brother and sister a few weeks back and they brought their game to the shoot. This is one of the more subdued images, but it really beautiful captures how close they are. I love it in black and white, but the shot is also pretty cool in color as the bow in sis’s hair is cherry red!

We are having so much fun with this contest! I love giving gifts and this contest has felt like a great big prezzie! Every Christmas my husband’s Nanna & Grandpa give us a gift card for a restaurant (date night when you have a toddler is a BIG DEAL let me tell you!!) and a “scratch ticket” as Nanna calls it. I’ve never been a gambler but whether it’s BINGO or “Cash for Life”, the daydreaming I do with what I’ll spend my prize on in the 2.5 minutes it takes to scratch the cover off is so much fun! What would you do with your ipad? Read a book on it? Carry it around in your diaper bag with baby games on it? Track you training for the Sporting Life 10k? Seek out cool new restaurants in Toronto’s burgeoning food scene?
Whatever you would do – I hope this Friday the 13th is a lucky one for you!!! We can’t wait to give it away and we have had so much fun with this that we will be giving away LOTS more stuff very soon!
If you haven’t entered yet, you have about 3 hours left – so get yer butt to our facebook page and ENTER!!
Happy Friday the 13th!!

With some moments of unseasonably warm spring weather of late I have been taking the opportunity to get outside and shoot. The day I met up with these cool kids and their folks was unfortunately NOT one of those unseasonably warm spring days. Lucky for me, these kids are not only cool, but also creative. Can you tell they are freezing in these photos?? Here they are imagining that they are warm and I totally believe them. Definitely Oscar worthy!
Having a studio in the Annex means we not only have some pretty sweet parks nearby, but we also have some sweet graffiti walls. I love how the colors and shapes make for a great backdrop for sibling cuddles.
Only four more days till we give away the new ipad – don’t forget to 1 – become a fan of our facebook page and 2 – click “enter to win ipad” at the top right corner of the Tynan Studio facebook page.
Happy Monday!
