Creating & Capturing Life's Precious Moments
I recently had my Christmas Pet Pawtraits mini sessions again for 2021. We’ve been running this for the last few years, it’s so much fun and I get to meet some really cool dogs. We had a bunch of great dogs and even some new ones this year. We had two gorgeous backdrops from Kate…

Changed the background and the outfit again, found this gorgeous dress in the studio closet, never even been worn…so pretty. And Dexter, of course, just had to be in shot. We thought it would be cute to get him to give Emily a flower. It took about 5 minutes to teach him to grab the…

Well for photographers it’s the season alright. We have to shoot our Christmas promo shots early (like super early), so we can advertise for Christmas shoots, which themselves have to be done early, so we can get all the images edited and printed and what not and off to their new homes!

I’m sure you all know by now how much Dexter just adores being in the studio…he has his favourite chair (or two) and once that bowtie goes on he knows it’s action time. Well I wanted to play with the new Lensbaby Velvet 56, he really is my only willing participant as far as model…

I know many will think it is staged, but it’s not. I set up this still life/ lifestyle scene for a shoot and young Mr. Dexter ever…

I was recently setting up some still life in the studio, the dogs were with me, as per usual. This was my scene below. I barely snapped the scene above and Dexter just happened to pop up on the chair, far more interested in the chocolate chip muffins (which he didn’t get) than anything else.…

While we were in lockdown, my daughter and I decided to have a little fun in the studio. Something I had seen before and wanted to try. Not everything went to plan on the day, but it was still loads of fun. Throwing treats for Dexter to catch and capturing him in action. I call…

Well week two of lockdown and honestly, I think it may stretch into three! I had my first Covid jab last week and spent three days feeling ‘blah’ one of the common side affects with my friends who pretty much all had their shot last week was feeling ‘heavy’ almost like wading through water. Of…
