Taste The Rainbow! (My New Photos!)

[Kyra.Graves]

I remember being on a black-and-white set all day and then going out into daylight and being amazed by the colour.

Sometimes that is how I feel when we come out of winter, the vibrant colours of spring and summer are dazzling, fun and energizing.
Last week I decided to do a photoshoot that I hope you will find reflects that feeling. It was probably one of the most spontaneous and fun shoots I have done and though there were a few casualties at the end and more than an hour later I was still finding tiny little skittles hiding in places where no skittles had gone before I was smiling, apparently I was a smart child, playing with your food can be a lot of fun!

I am currently in Toronto and am available now until mid-July, I have recently updated my summer travel schedule and it can be found here.
In addition will be in Ottawa from June 24-25 and available in the downtown area if you would like to meet at my location or should you prefer we can arrange a night on the town.
Please send me an email to arrange a date.

I look forward to meeting you!

Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things that escape those who only dream at night.
~Edgar Allen Poe​

I am an early riser; I love waking slowly with the morning sun streaming through the windows, warming the room, lingering in the warm bed while the day begins. Watching the sun rise, the people run off to work, while I linger in a nice hot shower, a fluffy white robe covering my naked and still wet body, it all comes together to make the morning special, memorable and inviting.

My favourite dates are the evening dinner dates or early morning escapades but I can be easily swayed should you have something else you might want to suggest.
I look forward to meeting you!

Don't get me wrong, I admire elegance and have an appreciation of the finer things in life. But to me, beauty lies in simplicity.
~Mark Hyman

Just like the above 'skittles' shots these were some of my favourites to shoot, not because they were fancy but because of the simplicity and because they were so very me.
Just a few days before the shoot I had been enjoying some time in Boston and Cambridge; sailing out over the water, eating a picnic lunch in the Commons, enjoying a sorbet at Toscanini's. In most of my previous photos I am wearing a cocktail dress or far less than I would wear out in public in and for the most part I do wear dresses on a date simply because dinner is most often what I am invited to, but it doesn't have to be and it's certainly not what I as a person spend most of my time doing.
This as a moment captured feels far more who I am, if we were to meet in the morning for a coffee you would likely meet me in capris or a little summer skirt. If we were exploring Boston together, enjoying some sorbet from Toscanini's (it really is good) I might happen to wear this blue satin top and white capris... and in my mind I would worry the whole time about melting sorbet, or the messy child sitting next to me and their melting ice cream!​

I hope you enjoy these photos as well, it's just one more peek at who I am and who might show up at your door when we meet.
I do look forward to meeting you soon!

Find beauty not only in the thing itself but in the pattern of the shadows, the light and dark which that thing provides.

I am currently available in Toronto and for private travel until July 18. If you would like to meet please contact me via email to arrange an exclusive encounter. Please note that I require a min. of 24hrs notice for all dates, my schedule simply cannot accommodate same day requests. I am however happy to meet you in your city should you prefer I travel to you, in Ontario that only requires a min. of 4hrs booking, longer for out of province and International travel.
I look forward to meeting you!

Hello Gents!

Just a reminder I am in Toronto for just 2 more weeks, however my current schedule does not allow for me to arrange for same day dates and I do require a minimum of 24hrs notice, often longer. I will be returning to Toronto after Aug. 19 and should you wish to connect towards the end of the summer I would be more than happy to arrange something in advance as I will be posting my fall travel schedule soon.

I look forward to hearing from you!

xo,
Kyra
