Windsor Essex County Humane Society’s Pet Idol Event!

Good Morning world!

Last night I was invited to capture some really fun moments at the Windsor Pet Idol Fashion Show.  I met some wonderful people and their wonderful pets.

It was so great to see so many caring people come out to support such an important, vital organization in our community.

Proceeds are going to the Expansion fund and the construction of the new building is now underway!

Here are some shots I captured:  Thanks to my talented son, Kevin, for being a 2nd shooter

I had the most incredible, fun afternoon yesterday!  The R family invited me into their home to capture a small part of the story of their lives.

I absolutely love these three boys!  They are sweet, thoughtful, adventurous and LOVE to be outdoors!  We had so much fun playing games and trekking through a gorgeous wooded park.

Thank you, R family for your kindness and trust.  I could not think of a better way to spend a beautiful fall afternoon!

Here is your sneak peek!

“The love of a family is life’s greatest blessing.”

Have you ever had a day where you felt you could almost burst with joy?  Have you ever been working and realize how immensely lucky you are to be doing something you absolutely LOVE to do?  Today was that day for me.

The weather – perfect, the light -  glorious, the lens…..well, nothing short of magical.  This was my first photo session using my newest Canon  lens,  the 85 L  1.2.   I could hardly wait to upload the images.

And the children  – Wow – amazing, beautiful, sweet and so much  fun!

The greatest compliment I could ever be given is to have a little sweetie who wants nothing more than  to hold my hand and walk with me.

Thanks Moms, for trusting me to capture these wonderful moments today.  It was truly my pleasure.

I met the sweetest family on Sunday.  B and her boys came all the way over from Michigan to do this amazing shoot with me.  Her boys are so adorable and we had so much fun playing games, exploring and running up and down the hill!  I truly enjoyed every minute.  We discovered snails, a fuzzy  caterpillar and glorious colours of autumn!

Happy Happy 7th birthday on Wednesday O!  I hope all your wishes and dreams come true

Thank you B, O and A for such an enjoyable afternoon!  You guys ROCKED this session!

What a beautiful autumn afternoon!  I met with the most wonderful family at the beach for a photo shoot and it rocked!  Mom and Dad are dear friends of mine and are  so sweet and the kids, well, they are amazing!  What a truly nice family.  I don’t think I have ever seen such luminescent blue eyes!

Even the furbaby was photogenic!

Thanks J and G  for asking me to capture your family today!  It was truly my pleasure.   Here is your sneak preview:

Happy Happy Thanksgiving!

I am truly thankful for friends like you

What do you get when you take 2 border collies, 1 Aussie, 1 rat terrier, and a very cute (border collie) puppy out for a photo shoot?

FUN,  lots and lots of  FUN!

It was a gorgeous autumn afternoon and the setting was perfect.  Essex county has wonderful scenic back roads and my great friend B found an excellent spot.

B has the most sweetest dogs I’ve ever met.  They are incredibly  smart and excel in obedience and agility.  She has done a fantastic job teaching  each of them and they absolutely adore her!  They really enjoyed the walk through the woods and stopping to strike a pose or two! Although photographing five dogs at once may seem a bit daunting, these guys were so well behaved, it was a piece of cake!

Thanks B for inviting me over and allowing me to capture your gorgeous, fun, and smart furbabies.  Did I mention SMART?  I had a blast! And I almost did sneak a very adorable border collie pup into my camera bag

She almost fit into my bag!

Aussie Fun Day!

Happy Sunday everyone!

No, I didn’t just get back from a trip to Australia, (although, that would be nice!). But this was definitely the next best thing.

My family and I were invited to attend a totally fun FUNDAY to benefit the Michigan Australian Shepherd Rescue.  It was such an “Aussisome” day and there was so many great things to do and watch.  Agility, duck herding, fantastic raffle with amazing prizes – (my daughters luck won us a beautiful basket filled with tons of doggie toys and treats).

The lunch was delicious, the company warm and friendly and the canines, incredible.

Our rescue Aubree had the time of her life and thought she was in Aussie Heaven!  She ran like the wind with dozens of fellow Aussies and absolutely loved the agility.  The weather held out for us and I got to capture some amazing, wondrous moments at a wonderful event!

Thanks Morna and the ARM for your warm hospitality and for doing all that you do to save these sweet sweet furbabies.

Many more images to follow soon on my website.  Special thanks to my talented son who also shot lots of the action!

I met the most wonderful little furbaby yesterday afternoon.  Bobby is a beautiful,  sweet  Pappillon with a heart and soul much larger than his little being.  Bobby  lives with his sweet little playmate Molly.  His is the 2009 Pet Idol here in town!  I had the pleasure of being the “dogographer”  to shoot his first glamour shots.

We had lots of fun going for a walk to the beach and lounging in the window of their cozy home. Bobby and Molly are two very lucky dogs to have such a loving, kind person taking care of them.  Thanks “M” for inviting me over and allowing me to capture some very special moments.  More images soon!

Meet Bobby (and Molly)!

Today I had the joy of meeting a very new little person.  Baby “D” is only 8 days old and just the sweetest, most precious little boy ever!  He is blessed with the most loving mommy and daddy who are so in love with him, you can feel it as you are welcomed into their warm home.  Thanks D and M for entrusting me with the capture of these precious memories.

I can hardly wait to show you your sneak peek!  Amazing, simply amazing.

Congratulations, he indeed is wonder, hopes and a dream come true!
