Angela & Adam | Married!
These photos are from waaaay back in August, but I didn’t want to forget the chance I had to Second Shoot with an amazing photographer, Lisa Kwan of Lisa Kwan Images. Not only is Lisa a great person and an talented photographer, she gushed about how lovely the couple getting married were and the beautiful location they chose. How could I say no?
Here are a few of my shots. To see Lisa’s coverage, check out her site!
Thanks Lisa for asking me to second shoot for you, and thanks to Angela and Adam for allowing me to be a part of your special day!

Baby N
Sorry again, it’s been a while! Life has been pretty crazy the past few months, to say the least. My husband and I bought a house (finally) and I’ve signed up to do some correspondence courses in my free time, so most of my mental and physical energy has been going into those things. But, one of the exciting things that has been in the back of my mind to blog about has been the birth of little baby N. Baby N is a gorgeous little boy born way back in September to some friends of ours from University .
I was delighted to be able to do a newborn shoot with this little guy and his proud mama. These are just a very few of my favs. There were so many!! Baby N was only 10 days old :)
Look at those baby blue eyes, and that blond hair!
Love how this one turned out…
and of course, the sweet little baby bottom :)
Thanks Mama, it was an absolute pleasure working with you both!
There’s no denying it…
Well folks, it’s official. It can’t be denied any longer. Nope, no way around it… It’s definitely Fall! I know Fall officially started about a week ago now, but I like to ignore official timelines as long as possible when the approach of cold weather is at hand. But now that it’s October 1st (holy cow what happened to September?) and the cooler weather is clearly here to stay, I can safely admit to it being Autumn. I even turned our gas fireplace on last night (much to the dogs’ delight I must add).
As you can tell, I’m not a big fan of being cold. I much prefer heat and sun and summer. So to cheer myself up (and probably some of you) I thought I’d post a couple photos I took last year during the heart of Fall. It may be cooler outside, but nature is never more beautiful!
So to all you cold-weather haters out there, get ready to light up a nice fire, sip hot chocolate, and admire the beauty that is moving in :)
Caitlin & Dylan | Anytime Session
Sorry it’s been a while… again! Clearly I need to get my act together :) Anyways, I have some photos to share from this past August.
I did a session with my good friends, Dylan and Caitlin. We tried to schedule this session a few times but things kept getting in the way. Finally we picked a date, only to find out that Dylan and Cate made dinner plans prior. But in an attempt to keep the appointment and still have nice lighting conditions, we decided we’d go for early in the morning instead of later in the day. Unfortunately for me, I also had an 11.5 hour wedding the day before where I was assisting Lisa Kwan of Lisa Kwan Images (go check her out ’cause she rocks) so it was pretty hard to drag my tired butt out of bed at 6 am. But it all ended well and was so much fun.
In other news, I found out that day that Dylan accepted a job in California and they will be moving out there this October! Dylan and Cate, I’m so happy you guys liked your photos, and I am sorry to see you move away! I will miss you and will hopefully take a trip out to see you and enjoy the nice California weather :)
Doors Open Toronto
I know I’ve been a bad blogger lately… I’m sorry!!! In an effort to catch up I’ll do a few new postings over the next couple weeks.
Here are some of the photos I took waaaay back in May during the Doors Open event in Toronto. (On that note, wow summer is going by fast! Don’t know about you, but it’s been pretty rainy and cloudy here most of the summer. Here’s hoping August picks up…)
New Business Cards
I received my Moo business cards last week and couldn’t be happier! They are works of art. Beautifully printed, perfect weight. I really can’t say enough about them. They make me very happy :)
Now all I need is a bunch of people to give them to. Spread the word… I have business cards!!! :P
(PS – exciting news coming about my website..!!)
Welcome
Hi Everyone!
Welcome to my space. As you can see, things are in the works for now. I’m just getting everything up and running, so bear with me. I plan on uploading some pictures and fun stuff as soon as I can. In the meantime, here’s a bit about me:
My name is Karrie and I’m 26. I’ve lived all over the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) and am currently based out of Oakville, Ontario. I love love love photography and have fairly recently began assisting a wonderful wedding photographer named Emma Smallbone. Check out her site, www.barebonephoto.com.
When the offer came in to assist Emma at some of her weddings I was excited but somewhat hesitant. I had been to many weddings, but I wasn’t 100% sure I could handle being a wedding photographer. It’s a lot of stress to capture such an important day. However, all it took was one :) I was Immediately hooked!
There is an absolute joy in witnessing and photographing a couples’ pure love. And what better day to witness this than their wedding day? It’s uplifting and warms my heart to see two people genuinely in love and sharing that with their families and friends. I love photographing beautiful things, and there are few things more beautiful than that!
Right now I’m working on building up my portfolio and adding images whenever I can. I did an engagement session of two close friends a couple weeks ago and hope to get some of their photos up soon. Check back for updates. Until then, feel free to check out my personal flickr account www.flickr.com/photos/karriej and my “professional” flickr account www.flickr.com/photos/kj-photo for examples of my work.
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact me at karrie.jastrzebska at gmail [dot] com.
All the best to you,
Karrie.
