contemporary, lifestyle, on-location animal photography

this is rosie … and i can call her my favorite little melon-head because she knows i love her.

rosie-lewis-104-proof

seriously the sweetest little girl bully i’ve ever met, with the cutest, most perfectly round head you’ll ever see … thus the ‘melon-head’ endearment. and who knew she could fly?

you’ll be seeing more of this dollface soon, in the meantime, enjoy this one.

as for the horizon line … yeah, it’s skewed … and we like it like that! 🙂 for those of you who would argue it needs to be straightened, you should know that by doing so you’d lose precious sky which is essential to this image … of course, yes, i can always work my post magic to fill in the where sky is lost in the straightening and fix that. but also, with the skew, i believe there is a more of a sense of motion and upward propulsion. and hey, rosie needs all the lift she can get!

enjoy!

meet Winnie …

winnie-128

for those of you have see our own Aslan (and yes, we did end up keeping the beast) you can see that Winnie is a mini-Aslan … shorter, rounder, squatter, and just way, way, WAY too cute.

three months out of the Perth County shelter, Winnie seems to have adjusted to her new digs rather quickly, although the furnace rumbling to life is still cause for alarm and a reason to run for cover …

but recovery is mighty fast in the right arms … and Winnie knows she’s got it good.

content to be an indoor-cat, Winnie is still mighty fascinated with the birds that visit the brickwork and trees outside the windows of her wonderful new home …

… watching them endlessly with those enormous, saucer eyes of hers …

… and to hunt any pesky intruder that might venture in with an errant photographer.

she’s a busy little girl, this Winnie, making her rounds through the house … she certainly kept me hopping …

but fortunately she did chill out with new mom and dad for a while.

thanks little Winnie, for a fun afternoon. and thanks, Michelle and Marco for lavishing this sweet girl with such adoring love, and giving her an awesome home. i hope you enjoy your gallery of images.

IdilWow! Illona, once again I’m blown away by your work! Amazing shots of this cutie. Me thinks you may have to reconsider the name “scruffy dog photography,” as your cat photos are just as good!ReplyCancel
Jill BeninatoThese are wonderful…love that shot of the toy with the kitty blurred out in the background!ReplyCancel
Da kittiez @ The cat-a-blogYou have got to be one of the most talented animal portrait artists I have ever seen, bar none! Gorgeous work. Just lovely.ReplyCancel
C. CarterSDP, I have been following your blog for some time…can’t remember how I found you but got hooked on your dog photos faster than I could say, “Fetch-it”! But these pix of darling feline Winnie are ever soooo sweet, oh my goodness, so I just had to stop & post a quick message. You just ROCK as a critter photog! that’s whut I gotta say :>}} Since I love BOTH catz & dawgz, you swooned my heart on this one.ReplyCancel
DarleneSigh….I always thought of myself as a dog person, but having lived with cats for so long, I think they have woven their cat magic over me.
These images are wonderful, and I do know how hard it must have been at times to get the picture. Winnie is beautiful, thanks be to her people for giving her a loving home.ReplyCancel
