Internationally-renowned, award-winning animal photographer Illona Haus created scruffy dog photography inc. as the province's premier pet photography business in 2007 ... the first of its kind in Canada ... and, still today, continues to serve clients across Ontario, the US and the world. Based in Kitchener, Ontario and photographing exclusively animals for almost 20 years - both commercially and for private clients - Illona is considered one of the world's leading and most influential pet photographers.

 

To learn more about scruffy dog photography, its creator, history, and the scruffy dog experience, feel free to browse through the menu above, and scroll over a decade's worth of blog entries below!

 

Please drop me a line! I'd love the opportunity to capture stunning, creative, one-of-a-kind photographic memories of your 4-legged loved ones to treasure in artwork for a lifetime, and show you just what makes the scruffy dog experience second to none.

another dip into the archives ~ {Ontario pet photography}

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.

wieners running amok ~ {Waterloo, Ontario pet photographer}

you met Oscar and Rollo first during their sneak peek … now i can share some more images from the winter portion of their Winter/Summer session.

we started indoors, and Oscar was just fine with that, especially since i brought the good treats.

i just had to keep the treats coming!

and Rollo was a pretty easy mark with the treats as well.

and i couldn’t resist the two resident cats either — Tallon and Puddles …

of course, a dachshund photoshoot wouldn’t be complete without some flipper … er … foot shots …

Oscar’s obsession is balls.

much like my Merrick, i’m betting that unless there’s food in his mouth, there’s likely to be found a ball …

of course, it’s all fun and games until the ball rolls under the sofa.

even while gearing up for the great outdoors, Oscar’s gotta have the ball in his mouth.

then, all geared and ready to go …

… we headed to the snowy outdoors!

oh, and did i mention that Oscar loves balls?

and Rollo’s got some awesome running style … or should i say “flying style”?

i had a blast with these little guys out on the trail.  of course, being little hunters and with so many coyote sightings in the area, we had them on long-lines for the shoot.  and the lines i provide for shoots never hinder the fun to be had!

of course, i’m not sure how far these two would have gotten even without the long-lines.  after a fresh fall of snow, it was pretty deep out there for the wieners.

thanks, Rollo and Oscar, and thanks Meaghan and Ben, for a fun afternoon.  i’m looking forward to our summer session … as i’m sure the boys are.

  • Holly Garner-JacksonSuch fun shots! These guys are riot. The cat shots are gorgeous, too!
    I laughed when I saw the behind shot of the dogs geared up! Too funny.
    You do such a good job of cloning out the lines on these dogs. You’d never know they were leashed.
    This shoot is another WEINER! ;-PReplyCancel

  • Susan HumphreysWow Illona, these shots are just wonderful. I love the one where Oscar
    has his face right into the camera. Obviously, the outfits are what
    the best dressed sausage doggies are wearing these days! Love them.

  • JustynaWhat angels!!! Love the coat/booties shot.ReplyCancel

  • Vickithese are awesome!!ReplyCancel

  • samanthaI love those little balloon boots. They are the best for pups that are prone to ice/salt in the toes. My Buggy never would have survived living in Toronto (aka salt city) without them. It’s kinda hilarious that they are knee high booties on these lil wieners.ReplyCancel

  • michelle bradshawAbsolute magic illona!!! These little guys are gorgeous!!ReplyCancel

  • LoriWhat adorable little bundles of weiner energy — right down to those red booties (great catch of the lost bootie in the last shot, btw!)
    : )
    Lovely work, as always!ReplyCancel
