White Socks ~ Gunner the Duck Tolling Retriever

Gunner is just about the cutest thing you’ll ever see! Not only does he have a beautiful golden-brown coat, but his paws and chest are all touched with white. It’s almost as if he’s wearing tiny white socks!

Gunner is a playful dog who had a great time checking out all the toys Gunner’s human and I brought with us as well as whatever sticks and smells he could find. He also had a lot of fun hiding and running in the long grass.

This session was a special one because the final print collection was a gift for Gunners human Dad. He is a fire fighter so we tried our best to include bits of that in the session including fire hydrants (both real and in toy form) and the amazing red doors of an old converted fire house in Hintonburg.

While he loves having fun, Gunner also treasures the most important thing in his life: his human family! The loveable fur ball knows who belongs to him, too bad it’s not me!

Prepare to oooh and awwww (and awwwww and awwww).

Here is the surprise birthday print collection that was ordered for Gunner’s human Dad. Love it!

You will notice in these final prints that Gunner’s leash has been digitally removed. I purposely left it in most of the above images to display that safety is always my number one concern. We always have the dogs leashed if they are young and also if they are in the city because of passing cars and lots of distractions. Leashes are removed from final prints and album orders.

Another exciting thing about this session is that I was able to have a HUGE 24×36 canvas printed to hang in the awesome store Masters n Dogs in Westboro (formerly Bark&Fitz). The owner selected this image herself as a favourite to hang at the front of the store!

Have a wonderful day,

The Girl on the Bus ~ Melanie and Curtis’ Sneak Peek

Melanie and Curtis have the best story of how they found each other – I literally squealed when they told me about it at their engagement session today at Rockcliffe Park.

They met on a bus. Honestly, they did. Curtis saw Melanie one day on the bus on the way to work – he was running late and she was there. He immediately knew that she was special and from then on, he was purposely late for work, just so he could ride the same bus as her.

Little did he know, but Melanie noticed Curtis as well and it turns out that her sister went to school with him. One day Curtis got up the courage to talk to her, and the rest is history!

These two have a very special four-legged family member that we, of course, included in their engagement session. Their adorable dog, Poopsie, is such a loving ball of fluff and he really enjoyed the treats I was dolling out.

Melanie and Curtis will be getting married this summer and I can’t wait for their big day!

Have a wonderful day,

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,

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,
