Stage 3 (Phase 2) of Ontario's Action Plan for reopening begins today, July 17th 2020. In order to maintain alignment with the cautious reopening of the Province during this global pandemic, certain Photography options are temporarily unavailable. During this time, all local bylaws and provincial laws regarding physical distancing and gathering limits must be adhered to at all times. Boyo Photography reserves the right to withdraw from photoshoots if its environment appears unsafe or its participants show any symptoms described by Ottawa Public Health.

As an additional effort to accommodate the unpredictable nature of the situation, 50% security retainers for requested dates are no longer required for the duration of the pandemic. Clients can now secure their requested date by e-signing their proposed Service Agreements, with the expectation that they will commit to their requested date in good faith. This approach will continuously be reassessed and revised as needed. Until further notice, Boyo Photography is limiting bookings of events with 10 or more people to a bi-weekly basis for the safety of all clients and others.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

As always, virtual 'Meet & Greets' and electronic payments continue to be part of my service to current and prospective clients. Please reach out sooner, rather than later for more details... and I look forward to hearing from you.

Stay informed. Stay safe. Stay well.

We are grieving. We are in pain. We are angry.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Though we’ve been openly expressing these emotions for weeks now, we each have our own way of coping with this as individuals. I’d like to thank those of you who reached out privately and checked in while I remained offline. This has been very difficult. But our fight will only continue to grow louder and stronger. In addition to all that has been said from behind our screens, there are so many more things that can be done beyond the hashtags
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We will prevail.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Over the last few days, my wife and I have continued to take evening walks around our neighbourhood, and it has been interesting to see people who don’t look like us make enthusiastic efforts to wave at us and say “hello”. I wish our fallen brothers and sisters were acknowledged this same way, and I wish they could have continued walking or running wherever their lives would have led them. I have also noticed a few shout outs from others as part of their efforts to support Black owned businesses during these times - thank you, I appreciate you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And to my new followers over the last few days, I hope you are here with genuine intentions to be an ally. I hope being here will be an opportunity for you to learn more about us. But please know that the colour of our skin has been a reason for judgment and discrimmination from others even before we were old enough to understand why. This is not a fad or trend that will end when others move onto the next hot topic. This has been our lives and it will continue to be this way for a very long time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If hitting that “follow” button was nothing more than a checkbox on your list of things to do, please find your way back to that button and hit “unfollow”. We are more than that.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For everyone else, I need to introduce you to my brother Josh and his beautiful wife, Caroline. I had the special opportunity to take a few photos of them after their Zoom wedding during this pandemic a month ago. Josh wrote a powerful article in the Ottawa Citizen about being our ally. https://ottawacitizen.com/opinion/dadjo-welcome-to-the-fight-i-hope-you-stick-around, please have a read.

We will prevail.
