Every dog just wants to Be-Loved

I heard this song the other day and I realize it’s supposed to be about people, but it really spoke to me about rescuing.

I created a video using this beautiful song by Christina Perri to spread the word about rescues and adoption. Take a look here, and please share. There are so many amazing dogs who are still looking for their family.

I will be launching a new website very soon which will be a personal project by me to spread the word about rescues. Please check out be-loved.ca soon.

All images in this video were taken by me, and each of them is a rescued dog. It’s not an easy journey, but it is worth every step.

This video features: our own dog, Wellie, as well as Penny, Charly, Barley, Willow, Newman, Millie, Jazz, Bailey, Tina, Scruffy, Percy, Aura, Blaze, Eclipse, Sahara, Kobalt, Nakia, Skye, Layla, Dolly and Lexi.

Have a wonderful day,

Brand spanking new promotional video!

This has been a project months in the making. This summer I set out to have a promotional video made of myself. I had the pleasure of working with my favourite Ottawa wedding videographer, Jeff from Equivocality, for not only Genevieve and James‘ wedding this summer, but also for Vikki and Dan‘s wedding this fall. He is an amazing person to work alongside and I knew he was the one I wanted to create this video for me.

Special thanks to Tiffany & Phil, Elizabeth & Cooper and Genevieve & James for helping to make this video amazing – I couldn’t have done it without you! Thank you for allowing Jeff to tag along and film our sessions together – it really does mean the world to me!

You’ll learn some pretty great things about this video:

1. I shoot with my glasses on (4 eyes of the world unite!)
2. I attract dogs from miles around (and totally love it)
3. Thomas and I have some awesome dance skills

And without further adieu, my promo video!

The fantastic and adorably cute song in this video is by Mindy Gledhill. You should definitely check her out – I really love her stuff and am so happy I was able to find it for my video.

And now for some images captured during the making of this video.

First up are Tiffany and Phil and their stunning fall engagement session. These two got engaged in Gatineau Park so it was fitting to have their engagement session at Mackenzie King Estates in Gatineau Park. The fall colours were absolutely perfect and it was so beautiful.

Tiffany and Phil are getting married next fall and I cannot wait for their wedding!!

Next up is the adorable Cooper and his favourite human, Elizabeth.

Cooper is a golden doodle and at the time of our session this fall, he was 5 months old and VERY bouncy. We had the session at Bruce Pit Park and made lots of friends while having a wonderful time.

Where’s Cooper?

Nom nom nom…

Last but definitely not least is Genevieve and James. You may remember from their wedding that Genevieve’s hair was blonde. I asked her and James to get all dolled up once again in their wedding attire and they were so wonderful about it. We had such a fun time around City Hall and found some beautiful trees to photograph under. I just adore the colours in these images.

(for those who follow my blog, you may have seen these posted before.)

Have a wonderful day,

Schnauzer Shnuggles ~ Bailey and Diva’s sneak peek

Yesterday afternoon was my last session of 2011 and it was a great way to end an amazing year. I got to spend the afternoon with two adorable schnauzers, Bailey and Diva, and of course, their human, Maryse. We had such a wonderful time walking through the trails around their home in Nepean and these two kept me laughing the whole time!

I just love this sign that’s on the fence to their back yard – so cute!

Introducing Bailey (left) and Diva (right) on their chair. Who are we kidding, every chair is their chair! haha

Bailey is 10 years young and loves playing with his toys outside. Diva is an 8 year old small dog with a big personality and definitely lives up to her name!

Diva kind of liked my treats…

Not to be outdone, Bailey acting cheeky! haha

Some shnuggles with mom.

Love this one. This is at the highest elevated point in Ottawa and boy was it windy up there!

Have a wonderful day,

Love, Smiles and Licks ~ Hayden and Ashton’s Sneak Peek

I had a wonderful afternoon yesterday with 10 week old baby, Hayden, and his “big brother” Ashton, a 3 year old Jack Russell Terrier.

Hayden was a superstar for the entire session and enjoyed his time in front of the camera. Not to be left out, Ashton hammed it up and gave me lots and lots of kisses – sometimes even while I was photographing his baby brother! (I am actually quite used to this haha).

Introducing Hayden, soon to be breaking hearts in Ottawa! What an adorable little dude!

Hayden loved peek-a-boo and had the best smile! Cutiepie!

Ashton is such a wonderful big brother.

I just love this shot – it just exudes “family” to me.

Feet! My favourite part of this image is Ashton kinda of side looking wondering what we are doing. haha

Now it’s Ashton’s turn! He waited (not-so) very patiently because I had treats and he wanted them.

Love this one – look at him posing!

Have a wonderful day,
