Reese’s Pieces! ~ {Guelph, Ontario pet photographer}

May 7, 2015

let me introduce you to Ms. Reese … a.k.a. Reesey or Reese’s Pieces … a two-year-old, goofy, leggy, lap-dog of a Doberman Pinscher who had her Fine Focus photo session + booster with me last spring here in Waterloo. the booster offers extra time and images to a session for the client who is after a little more or adds a second location like one of our urban client favorites.

01_guelph_ontario_pet_photographer_best_dog_reese hunsberger-15 like many SDP clients, Reese’s mom, Diane, requested the tunnel of trees location where i am afforded some great variety of light, vegetation, and settings.

02_guelph_ontario_pet_photographer_best_dog_reese hunsberger-390 03_guelph_ontario_pet_photographer_best_dog_reese hunsberger-327 i just love the long green grasses of spring, and Reese’s reds are a lovely contrast …

04_guelph_ontario_pet_photographer_best_dog_reese hunsberger-83 what some people don’t think about, and what i always advise my clients of in the materials i send out to prepare them for their scruffy dog session is that ‘wardrobe changes’ are encouraged! Diane clearly read my carefully compiled materials — advice built over a decade of photographing dogs — and brought two collars along for Reese’s session. this adds to the overall variety of the resulting gallery of images and the photographic memories of your 4-legger.

thanks, Diane, for choosing scruffy dog to capture your lovely girl’s images! and hang in there, Reesey, one day that cat will be your friend!

Princess Dottie May ~ {Kitchener, Ontario premium pet photographer}

April 30, 2015

meet Princess Dottie May … model extraordinaire. then again, i’ve never met a Boston Terrier who doesn’t rock their scruffy dog photo session! Dot’s session was a Fine Focus with a ‘booster’ added for a little extra time and extra images, which was pretty easy to do with this stellar model.

as many scruffy dog clients, Dot’s mom, Maryjane, was very keen on the tunnel of trees location …

but i also enjoyed burying Dot in the willow saplings under a stormy sky …

… and making sure to capture her “dot”, of course.

before we even hit our main location, i pulled over at this white picket fence location with fabulous leaves along the way. i’d spotted it coming home from a previous session and thought it would make a nice backdrop for the lovely Princess Dot.

besides posing, this three-year-old girl certainly had a lot of spunk … and it was fun capturing that energy.

… as well as her serious side.

… and her silly faces.

thank you, Maryjane, for sharing your lovely, spunky girl with me and entrusting me to capture her images. and thank you, Dottie May, for being such a stellar model!

Milford Monkeypants McScrufflebutts ~ {Toronto premium pet photographer}

April 10, 2015

meet Milford Monkeypants McScrufflebutts … or at least, that’s what i call this flying furball of chaos and mayhem. Milford, the soft-coated wheaten terrier pup, came from Toronto for his puppy photo session on a beautiful autumn day, and to say he was full of beans would have been an understatement.

this razor-toothed little devil actually had his session booked the day he was born, if you can believe that! in fact, his booking form didn’t even have a name on it because neither did this little monster at the time!

if you can’t tell from these photos, Milford was all about moving … non-stop. there was simply no stopping this whirling dervish once his little paws hit the grass and pebbles of the open field near the SDP studio.

oh wait! is that Milford Chaos McMoverpants actually holding still!? ha! don’t be fooled. the little monster was on a leash here, being held back from the puppy-stupidity-stunt he really wanted to perform which was to leap off his rock and finally get that big black clicking thing!

i hope i get to meet this little monkey again once he’s had a chance to grow up. thank you, Kelly, for sharing your little Milford with me!
