Wow, wow, wow. So we have been moved up the list! Some one ahead of us has pulled back and we get their spot, we will make the 2010 quota after all. (For other Thailand waiting parents, this may not apply to you. My agency works directly with the TRC so that is how they are getting around the DSDW's halt on 2010 dossiers)
We thought we had another year before starting but now it is happening so fast, we have to get our Dossier to Thailand and get logged in before the end of the year.
man they do not call it the paper chase for nothing, it is even more work then i was planning for, i thought i was prepared, but this is about doubly harder then i thought. Bring it! I am top form and I will win this race! Gotta Run!

About Me

Sylvia Eng
Hi I am Sylvia!
I was inspired to learn the art photography when I adopted my second child. She has albinism and is very photo-phobic. My point and shoot flash was hurting her eyes and I was missing out on precious memories because I needed specialized skills and equipment to capture her in photos. Because of her my style has developed to photograph completely flash free. My children were my inspiration to learn this craft so I named my business after them (Squeaker and Yoyo are their nicknames).
Although this is a newer artistic medium for me, I have studied visual arts my whole life and graduated with a degree in digital media. Before that I was a fashion model, so images and photography have always been a passion of mine.
I know what it is like to be on both sides of the lens. My goal as your photographer is to use my experience as a model to coach you though the shoot to ensure you look your very best. I consider the style I provide to be an art form, taking your image and adding a touch of digital magic. Sprinkling your images with creativity, imagination and just a tiny bit of faerie dust. The result is always a relaxed and beautiful experience.
I photograph in the greater Toronto area, including Mississauga, Brampton, Milton, Oakville, Orangeville, Acton, Georgetown and Caledon. I look forward to working with you. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
