I recently photographed this awesome celebration at the Fifth Grill & Terrace in Toronto. Mia was turning forty and she wanted an elegant dinner party for forty friends with an old Hollywood theme. Kristina Chau of Not Your Average Party was the planner for this event and did she ever do an amazing job! Mia arrived in a gorgeous white Bentley and everything continued to go up from there. The party included a cigar roller and some classic cocktails. Dinner ended with a champagne fountain while Sophia Perlman sang the night away. Happy Birthday, Mia!
CONTEST:
1) Help Mia get an 8×10 print of her favourite photo from the night. It’s easy – she just needs to receive fifteen individual comments on this blog post.
2) But wait… you comment on your friend’s blog post and what do you get from it?! For every month in 2013, I am going to do a draw for one free studio portrait session! Everyone who comments on my blog in that month will be put into the draw. On the last day of the month, I will randomly pull one name and that person will receive an in-studio portrait session!*














*Session must take place at my studio in Toronto and must be redeemed by the last day of the following month of draw. You will receive a portrait session plus $100 print credit to be used toward photographic prints. You may win only one session within the year.
