I am a Toronto based portrait & fine art photographer. I take beautiful photographs of people and sell my fine art photography on etsy. I love combining what I do, matching fine art photographs to portraits. http://www.annawithlove.com/2013/02/matching-fine-art-photographs-to.html
My story? I went to film school and was sure I was going to be the Canadian Jerry Bruckheimer. I got an internship at a distribution/television company and started to work my tail off. I got hired full time. SCORE. Continued to work my tail off and work my way up in the company. Boss let me go on a 6 week Europe vacay said it was necessary right of passage (great boss!) Arrived in France, fell in love with Paris. I said to my girlfriend, I will be back here. I belong here. I have to..(her? yeah right okay Anna, maybe in a few years). I was sure, so sure like I had never been sure before. First day back at the office, I got a raise to run the programming for a specialty television channel...a perk? Attending film festivals mainly in France. That February I was back in Paris. Learned then and there to never underestimate the power of positive thinking and manifesting your dreams. Soon after I started my photography blog which inevitably led me to say goodbye to television and hello to my true passion of being a photographer. Haven't looked back since, it's been one wild, fun and incredible ride for which I'm truly thankful for.
Everyone deserves to find a career they love. Always believe in yourself and believe in your dreams. Work hard, make mistakes, learn from them, and soon those dreams will start to become your reality.

Me in a nutshell:
I love positive, happy people. I love bright colours. I love Starbucks. I love dancing and above all else I love my beautiful family & friends.
