spring & summer sessions ~ Toronto pet photographer, Waterloo dog photographer

October 15, 2017

The fall season is just hopping here at scruffy dog while we take advantage of the cooler temps and the autumn colours. And, with a packed summer season, we are frightfully behind in blogging. Of course, if you’re looking for the latest images and want to keep up with the current goings-on here in scruffyville, your best bet is to follow us over on facebook!

In the meantime, here are just a few of the faces who booked a scruffy session in the wonderful summer season to capture one-of-a-kind, lifelong memories of their beloved 4-leggers!

Meet Lugnut … the permanently winking rescue bloodhound.

And this bundle of adorableness is Charley who had the first of his three Seasons sessions.

I am so looking forward to Charley’s upcoming fall session, and then to see this scruff-muppet again in the snow!

Goldwater came for a Fine Focus session, adding a booster to his session which allows for a second location which we shot down by the water.

Of course, no year would be a good year without a S-Wheaten terrierist on the docket. This is Bentley and his session took place at the “Big Woods” location!And little Gracie kinda sorta got into the daisies.

My own girl Matlin does get in front of the scruffy cameras once in a while … here she is doing a little work in the wheat fields this summer.

Bauer stepped in front of the scruffy cameras again for the second time in a decade. How handsome is this distinguished gentleman?

BamBam was a nut at his session. This busy little boy had things to do, stuff to sniff, and places to run to. Still, we managed to get him to stay still for a few seconds.

And Mr. Dudley was all smiles at his scruffy Mutt Shots session.Stay tuned for more glimpses of the many sessions from the spring, summer and soon, the fall!

spring session peeks ~ Windsor, Ontario pet photographer | Waterloo, Ontario dog photographer

July 28, 2017

As always, it’s been a delightfully busy spring season here at scruffy dog! So busy, in fact, that I am grossly behind in blogging. Of course, if you’re looking for the latest images and to keep up with the current goings-on here in scruffyville, your best bet is to follow us over on facebook!

In the meantime, here are just a few of the faces who booked a scruffy session to capture one-of-a-kind, lifelong memories of their beloved 4-leggers!

Minnie showed up for the spring/summer segment of her Seasons Session, and this girl totally rocked it.

The utterly adorable Albert came from Amherstburg/Windsor for his Big Picture Session with me, and I can’t wait to start working on his custom-designed, one-of-a-kind, hand-made, signature album, along with his other artwork.

This little scruffy dude crashed one of our spring sessions, and I couldn’t resist catching one quick shot.

And then there are these three … Maggie, Oscar and new sister Annie. Even though Maggie and Oscar are mostly indoor cats, guardian Mary really wanted a photo of her two cats and new dog, Annie, together. So off we went! Of course, as someone who has also taken my cat to different locations for shoots, I made sure that Maggie and Oscar’s harnesses were on super tight!

And for those questioning whether the above image might be a composite of these lovelies, nope! Here is the straight-out-of-camera image. Of course, what you don’t see here is the high level of client-coaching, cat-wrangling and preliminary set up that went on to achieve this calm. At the same time, I’m giving some credit to Annie who – having stood at the sidelines for 15-20 minutes already, watching the cat-wrangling and cat photos going on – seemed to understand what we were after even before we brought her onto the “set”. Note Annie’s craftily placed paw on Oscar’s … almost as though she is pinning him in place so that we can get our shot, put the cats away once and for all, and focus on Annie at last!

Little Maggie smiling…

Oscar in all of his cross-eyed glory… Can you believe this gorgeous boy was adopted from the KW Humane Society and nobody seemed to want him?

Annie: “I haz crown.”

Stay tuned for more little peeks from our amazing spring!! And if you’re considering a fall session, please don’t ‘consider’ too long; spots are filling up!

Lucy ~ BLOW project ~ Kitchener pet photographer

May 28, 2017

Oh, Lucy … let me count the ways I love this sweet girl. Lucy’s participation in the special pet photography project BLOW was not her first time in front of the scruffy dog cameras … in fact, she was here in the studio for her second session with me, when I asked her mom and dad if we could take a few shots with the fan. And Lucy pretty much rocked it with those ears of hers.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with this very popular pet photography series, I introduced the much-awaited BLOW project in this very first blog entry, and it has become a big hit on sites like Bored Panda and across the globe in the UK, France, Estonia, and even Japan among other countries.

Stay tuned right here on the scruffy dog blog for more exciting entries in the BLOW photo series! You can also see more of BLOW across different online publications like Dog Milk and This Dog’s Life (sometimes called Dogs vs Fans) as well as real publications globally.
