the red dogs ~ (Toronto pet photographer}

May 9, 2016

Meet the two gorgeous red dogs who came from Toronto for their scruffy session almost two years ago! (Yes, I’m that behind on blogging, but really wanted to share these two with you all.) Meet, Baby and Teddy …

… Teddy’s smile defied description.

We had some fun with the long summer grasses …

And, in spite of Babby and Teddy’s description as “fun-loving, couch potato kissers”, they took to their new roles of ‘supermodels’ very quickly.

And of course, being siblings, taking a few moments out to show signs of affection was not off the menu, as Teddy demonstrated for us.

Thanks, Bernard and Helen, for sharing your beautiful reddogs with me and for entrusting me to capture their spirit!

the very stunning Ginger ~ Toronto premier pet photographer

May 4, 2016

Meet the very stunning, Ginger. Ginger came from Toronto for a little scruffy dog shooting while I mentored a fellow pet photographer from New York during a One-on-One mentoring session . With snow still on the ground during our April session, it was the perfect backdrop for this stunning chow-retriever cross.

Ginger was always moving, but with that, she provided us with loads of opportunities and even more expressions.

Treats were certainly not wasted on this big girl.

… and she was all smiles even at the mention of them.

Of course, duck sounds almost always affords me a good head tilt.

I think it’s safe to say, we tired Ginger out. Thanks, Neta, for sharing your beautiful Ginger with us!

Kai – super model extraordinaire ~ Ontario commercial dog photographer

April 25, 2016

Meet Kai …

This girl has just rocketed to the top ranks of the scruffy dog commercial model database. This Mallorquin Mastiff girl had a session with me at the beginning of April, and it was a great opportunity to assess her abilities as a commercial model, moving her from the folder of owner-submitted dogs to Endorsed dogs … and in Kai’s case, an “Endorsed +” … a status reserved for dogs who can do just about anything. And she’s only 2 1/2 years old!

This girl can not only hold a reliable position and a steady focus in any surrounding and distraction — including the insanity of Kitchener’s very own Comicon weekend and a variety of costumed crazies romping around us, IN the midst of a sudden snow storm — she has a great bond with her guardian Kelly and learns on the spot.

When you get a dog like this, it’s like shooting fish in a barrel (not that I’d ever shoot fish – in a barrel or otherwise). Any photographer working with this girl just can’t miss. The camera absolutely loves her. Easy peasy.

Thank you, Kelly, for introducing me to your lovely girl. I look forward to the possibility of future shoots with you and Kai. Keep up the great work!

Shooting alongside me during Kai’s session, for his mentoring session with me, was Adrian Baughan of Oxford Dog Photography in the UK. You can see his images of Kai on his blog entry here. Enjoy!
