Winter ~ BLOW project ~ Ontario dog photographer

This is Winter, the Finnish Lapphund and repeat scruffy client, and these are her images from my much-awaited BLOW project.  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, but given the variety I captured of each participant I felt that individual entries were warranted.

BLOW (sometimes called Dogs vs Fans) has been a big hit on Bored Panda and other media sites across the globe in the UK, France, Estonia, and even Japan among other countries.And what a fabulous butt Winter has!

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.

    Keno ~ BLOW project ~ Ontario pet photographer

    This is Keno the Borzoi, and he might just be the one dog I have the most photos for the very popular BLOW dog photo series.  He’s just so photogenic!  Plus I’ve been in love with the breed since I was a kid.  Just look at this magnificent animal!

      spring pet photography sessions! ~ Ontario custom pet photography

      It’s spring time!  Do you have your dog or cat booked for a custom spring photo session yet?

      This is Saba … this sweet girl rocked her spring session last year.

      The spring season has become almost as busy a photography season as the fall … with wild flowers, fresh grasses, and the bright green canopy of new leaves … and spots go quickly!

      Haley in the spring-time woods…

      And with the warmer temps of spring, the water also warms up, giving us access once again to some river sessions.  This is monstrous Miles blowing bubbles down by one of my favorite access points.

      Of course, some models aren’t exactly courteous when it comes to the lovely spots we find for our sessions.  Here’s Bane make the most of our spring daisies.

      Wrangler had a lot of fun at his spring session last year.

      …and Sophie was practically dancing in the fresh glow of new foliage.

      And then … well … then there is Guinness.

      Little Pujo in the fresh spring grasses and buttercups…

      My own girl Matlin McScruffy…

      …and Sandy showing off her tongue-tricks down by the river.

      Sophie again … I mean, how glorious is this spring light?

      And a little later into spring we start finding other flowers blooming, as we did with Ryu’s session.

      As with any scruffy dog session, I can always find room for dogs to run, if that is on your must-haves list.  And of course, don’t forget that safety always comes first, so in most cases, if dogs can’t be trusted off-leash, I bring long lines.

      Of course, top model Goose doesn’t require a long line as he tears through a field of natural flowers.

      Forest trails abound here in scruffy dog territory and in the springtime these trails absolutely glow.

      Here’s wee Stella in the dandelions.

      … and smiley Guinness again.

      If you are thinking about having a spring session for your pup, please avoid disappointment and book soon before our spring spots are all gone.  Reach out by using the Contact page! I look forward to working with YOUR scruffy to create stunning, photographic memories to last a lifetime!
