archive dipping ~ {Ontario pet-exclusive photographer}

13 April 2011 – 9:28 am

still feeling very much under the weather today (more like under a rock that is under a truckload of mucus and slime, truth be told), i thought i would do a quick dip into the archives this morning to give you a couple of scruffy, or not-so-scruffy, faces to brighten your day.  for today’s dip i actually went to one of the external hard drives to find some slobbery goodness … pre-Lightroom-catalogue in the case of this first handsome boy Dexter …

his shoot was from fall 2008, and i had a blast with this big young pup out in the woods.  as i’ve archived blog entries prior to January 2009, his original blog entry isn’t accessible but some of his photos are still some of my faves.

next up in our morning archive-dip is young Marley … one in a pack of three goldens …

the Thompson goldens were pure fun, at home and down by the river.  their full blog entry can be found here. ah, those dog days of summer  …  soon!

i hope your wednesday is more enjoyable than mine … i’ve got phlegm and taxes on the agenda.  but first, a poop-pick-up in the back yard … just because i’m a glutton for punishment.  wags, everyone.

another dip into the archives ~ {Ontario pet photography}

26 February 2011 – 11:43 am

i have so much fun doing this … i literally go to my catalog of clients, close my eyes, scroll up and down, and blindly click.  then, on the page of thumbnails from their finished gallery, i blindly click again.  it’s fun to see who i come up with.

this morning it was sweet Sasha …

you can see her original blog entry images here.  i love this little girl, and owner Kim is such a fabulous supporter of SDP, and has recently attained her CET (Certified Educator Trainer), so will be helping others help their dogs!

next i blindly stumbled on beautiful boy Bauer …

this was taken during the summer portion of his Winter/Summer session.  here’s his summer shoot, and here’s his winter one (one of my favorite shoots).   owner, Karen, has also been a long time supporter of SDP.

in fact, as i write this i’m only just now realizing the bizarre coincidence of this particular “dipping into the archives” entry this morning!  i swear to you, this is always done blind!  but Karen and Kim are both on board as my staff for Woofstock this summer!  so if you come to visit us at Woofstock this June, you’ll not only meet Karen and Kim, but you might also meet Sasha and Bauer.

have a great weekend everyone.  i’m off to meet a woolly boy named Barkley for his Winter segment.
