i had a lovely afternoon following these ladies around their house.

the newly remodeled kitchen offered great light and colours, and fortunately Whiskers and Layla have no boundaries.

and they were rather patient for their closeups …

“patient” being a relative term, of course.

all in all though, these girls were very comfortable with the camera.

ryder loves snow

6 March 2010 – 12:10 pm

meet Ryder …

ryder-3081

… handsome, seven-month-old sheltie boy who loves the snow … and loves his mom.

ryder-641

we had an early morning shoot, and in spite of the sun’s spectacular display on my drive over to Ryder’s home, it refused to make even a hint of an encore during our shoot.

ryder-3831

still, the diffused light of winter can make for some pretty wonderful shooting opportunities. and Ryder hardly cared about the disappearance of the sun. he just wanted to run.

ryder-2641

… and sniff …

ryder-1951

… and run some more.

ryder-1341

ryder-2891

although he could be a bit of a poser too.

ryder-2101

but sometimes not. pups do tend to have a shorter attention span.

ryder-3671

this little guy has a wonderful future ahead of him, with a devoted mom who has a good handle on herding breeds and knows just what this active boy needs to keep his drive answered.

of course, i haven’t met a dog that doesn’t have at least one bad habit …

thanks, Ryder and Maris for an entertaining morning. looking forward to seeing you again at the studio consult.

a rather unimpressed client

3 March 2010 – 11:38 am

this is just a sneak peak of one of the lovely old ladies i met yesterday. being seniors, sometimes their patience wears a little thin …

whiskerslayla-327

… but we had a little fun regardless.

stay tuned for more of this sweet senior and her sister coming soon.

baby bailey

1 March 2010 – 2:11 pm

i promised you a puppy, and i’m giving you one. how sweet is this little darling?

chloe-and-bailey-676

i met this little girl a week ago, along with her big sister chloe. bailey is a mastiff/cane corso cross.

chloe-and-bailey-627

… and i had a blast with this wide-eyed, crazy pup.

whether we were running around in a local orchard …

… or having some fun in the snow.

puppie’s aren’t always the easiest to work with, but i just loved this little girl’s energy.

little schnoodley girl chloe

26 February 2010 – 3:17 pm

meet Chloe …

chloe-and-bailey-638

… little bundle of schnoodley goodness. she’s a senior girl who lives in Stoney Creek with her crazy, puppy sister — who you will meet later. but for an older girl, this little doll-face still gots some moves.

chloe-and-bailey-33

chloe-and-bailey-45

and she lo-0-0-0ves to bark.

chloe-and-bailey-89

on what felt like the warmest February date in history, we hit a variety of locales … from a snowless, grassy field (in February!), to an orchard/market, and i even had Chloe, her sister, and their parents make a U-ey when i spotted that last field of snow on the way home.
