Birthday Portrait Series: Jo Notkin

Jo is a renaissance woman who brings her creativity and extraordinary aesthetic sense to everything she does - from textile design to becoming an oyster shucking champion. She's hilarious and knows how to animate a crowd, and she makes delicious cookies which I happily trade for advice on food photography. I'm looking forward to seeing what Jo gets up to this year.

Here she is a few years back in Westmount - we were doing a shoot for her textiles company and the light was exactly right.

Happy birthday, Jo.
