i’m a photographer based in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, with a passion for anything Dog … although i’m happy to shoot just about anything.
dogs are my passion, whether it’s training, behavior, health and nutrition, or simply enjoying their company. but when it comes to photography, i love the challenge of working with dogs as a subject … capturing their natural moments, the reality of their life … essentially, Dog being Dog.
my work - as i hope you will see - is the antithesis of traditional pet photography. i’m not into posed portraits and fake backdrops, cute costumes and cheesy props. what i strive to capture is your dog’s essence, their spirit and character.
my goal is to give you photographic memories - natural images of your dog being themselves - to cherish for years to come.
when i’m not immersed in dogs, i’m tending to my other career as an author of psychological thrillers. if you’d like to find out more about the gritty Kay Delaney series, set in Baltimore, you can find out more at www.illonahaus.com . and if you’re having trouble finding copies, give me a holler; i’ll see what i can do.
