Derby the Blue Heeler (Australian Cattle Dog) and Sully the baby pug

Tuesday, September 15, 2009

Derby is a beautiful 1.5 year old Blue Heeler, smart and graceful in his moves. Derby does not like the car rides, even his name is taken from the place where he first got car sick Enderby, BC near Salmon arm. His mom had driven all the way from Langley to Richmond’s Iona Beach to meet me for his photo session. Derby needed some time to relax so we took him to the tiny beach first. Isn’t he gorgeous?

Then it was the time to do some running…

He looks so earthy, so..wild

Young dogs are always so unpredictable, Derby did at some point took off to say hello to his friends. Heelers are incredibly smart and even at such a young age you can see the intelligence in his eyes.

There is also some humor as always…

I could not stop myself from posting this one, Derby was already tired and his mom was trying to get him to do something..this is so sweet

Since Derby needs some rest; lets meet his rambunctious brother 10 week old Sully (Sullivan). He was waiting patiently in his crate while we were photographing Derby. It is pretty awesome to photograph two entirely different dogs in one session, the big and the small, the grown up and the pup. Derby is not too sure how to feel about the puppy yet, but he will come around..

I did not take Sully any time to get super friendly with me and the camera..

Puppies just make the funniest faces, and especially pugs they are great…

It is pretty funny that this little guys has such an attitude right there he is attacking my shoe laces…

I hope these images make you laugh it sure works for me! Thank you Kathleen for an opportunity to work with two such a different creatures! Fun, fun!

SPCA Paws for Cause

Tuesday, September 15, 2009

This post is here in order to express my gratitude, not show off my photos. I have to say that 2 min portraits are not what I like the best but that is what I did for SPCA Paws for Cause. We were doing picture by donation and am happy to report that I have managed to finish and email each and every photo to the people who who participated. But it was supposed to be about the gratitude.. well people who have animals are special, but the ones who spend their time volunteering for SPCA and adopting the animals in needs are even more special.

Back in the winter I have met Sandra, she hired me to do the photos of JaC and now when I needed help for the event she volunteered to help.

Here she is smiling away! Sandra is working in marketing she knows how to talk to people. She loves dogs and she is a super nice person. She made my job so much easier staying on the ball all the time and on many occasions she was a step or two ahead of me! I just wanted to tell the world how grateful I am for having such a fantastic help.

Part two of my thanks is to the organizers and volunteers of Surrey SPCA, they work so hard in order to make the world a better place for the animals! And last but now least big thank you for all who participated, who gave money to this great cause!

Now just a few photos..

This is Henry who stopped by to say hello and Bella, who wanted to have her photo taken…

I am not big on having a set, but people of SPCA thought I needed some props so I got a wooden bail full of sunflowers (my favorite!)…I know it is cheesy, but what isn’t when it comes to posed photographs…

His name is Red and he is magnificent Pharaoh Hound…

Two Chihuahuas, who’s mom absolutely refused the sunflowers in the photo, I agree Twiggy and Roo look fine without them…

And then There are Dave..looking cool on the left and Ezra checking out Off Leash table for treats…

If you know the guys below tell them to contact me, the email and phone number they gave us are out of commission ..

Cory and Maddie – crosses… some Shepherd, some Collie and some?

Tuesday, September 15, 2009

When I was growing up we always had a multibreed dogs, mutts as you wish and they were great. They were healthy and happy, the last one lived till he was 18 years old. So Cory and Maddie are cross breeds, but since they both were rescued nobody really knows who their parents were. Story of Maddie is bitter sweet, she was not even a year old when someone threw her out of the farm. She was pregnant and forced to live on her own caring for the puppies up north in the country. No wonder she still does not trust other dogs.., I am so glad she found the home with Corey and Karen.

Maddie (left) is 3 about years old and Corey is about 6 years old. They are both really sweet with people. Corey wanted to be petted constantly throughout the shoot.

I have to admit they were somehow a challenge since we could not let them off leash and when leashed they did not want to stay where I wanted them. On top of that the sun was beaming down on us without mercy and the dogs kept on moving, one second in the shade another in the sun, not fun when you shot manual.

We caught a brief moment when the doggy park in Queens Park, New Westminster was empty to let Maddie run a bit.. but it did not last long since other dogs came in to the park and she decided they were not welcomed.

Corey on the other hand loves all the creatures big and small and has no problem making new friends. But how can you blame Maddie, I can just imagine how hard she had to fight for the live of her puppies at wild.

It took her a while to trust humans again, but Karen’s love made her trust people again. Maybe Cory’s affection can teach her to trust other dogs again? Time will tell.
