marlie, another sneak ~ {Orangeville, Ontario pet photographer}

yeah, another sneak peek of Marlie girl.  why?  … because of the fall backlog of post-production, and because this girl is just so gosh-darn gorgeous i know i’ll never manage to get even a fraction of my favorites from her huge shoot crammed into her official blog entry when it comes.

so here are a few to tide you over the weekend …

have a great weekend, everyone.

big boy chai ~ {Waterloo, Ontario dog photographer}

… it’s been a long day of building another 40-page coffee-table photo book, another big (50″) canvas, wall mounts and loads of prints.  but i can’t leave you all with no images to get you through the day.   so i thought i’d share just a few pics from an earlier shoot i haven’t finished the post work on yet …

this is big boy Chai.  i’ve been so busy this fall i haven’t had the chance to talk to his parents lately to check in on Chai and his recent diagnosis of cardiomyopathy.

i hope you’re doing well, Chai-chai.

  • Liz ~ elizabeth&janeI love how he’s smiling in every shot!ReplyCancel

  • aleksandraGorgeous, as always. And gosh, what I wouldn’t give to get our foster wonderdog to smile/pant like that. No matter how happy she is, no matter how we tire her out, she refuses to do a nice little open-mouth smile.

lucy and max’s big blog entry ~ {Waterloo, Ontario pet photographer}

i’ve been dying to share these two darlings with you.   you saw their sneak peek here, but now it’s time to share a fuller sampling from their shoot a couple of weeks ago.

we started our shoot indoors since both Max and Lucy were willing …

… and still clean …

but say the word “walk” and all eyes go to the door!

once out at location, though, these two s-wheaties really let loose …

but both Max and Lucy were so awesome as models.   as excited as they were to run around, they stayed put when we asked them to …

and then into my favorite woods we went …

i love this location.  it is often requested by my clients just for the trees above, but i love it for the wide variety we’re able to shoot in a small area … the forest, some fields, awesome grasses …

and of course, the beach!

besides the wonderful colour i had to work with throughout this shoot, and Lucy’s poise and beauty …

i gotta admit, i don’t think any client has made me smile more than sweet, round-faced Max during the hours of post-production work.  just look at this little Ewok!

and check out Max’s eye-lashes …

again with the eye-lashes and that adorable round face …

thanks, Lucy and Max, for being two of the most adorable, photogenic, fun and willing scruffy models to date.  love you both.  Julie and Drew, i know you’re going to have a hard time choosing from your double-wide gallery.  i can’t wait to get going on your photobook and look forward to going over your selections at your studio consult.
