Today’s adorable pug faces are Mia & Oliver! This sweet duo came in to model for my April (Easter) and July calendar spreads! Big sister, Mia, seemed embarrassed over her little brother’s antics, but that’s okay… their little personalities were pretty awesome and Oliver sticking his tongue out at me was pretty funny! 😉
Enjoy!
Today’s pug blog belongs to Kiki! I loved this little face so much! Kiki was my “March” calendar spread and was so full of character!
I’m having so much fun sharing all of these adorable pug faces this week! Keep watching, still a bunch more to go! 😉

Leaf was one of the youngest Pug pups to pose for the 2018 Pug Calendar last Fall. She was my February model and I just loved her seriously worried little face! lol! She was so shy, peeking around her Mama to catch glimpses of me every once in a while until she warmed up enough for me to get what I needed.
Despite how unsure she was, her images are some of my favourites! Enjoy! 😉

Meet Pig! This little character was my calendar model for my January and August spreads… he was such a sport – wearing a scarf and booties AND posing in his pool floatie (safety first!) lol!
My kids got to meet Pig while he was here and completely fell in love. I did too. You will too, once you see what a little ham he was! Enjoy! 😉

This week, I am going to be sharing at least one pug session per day on my blog, because pugs make everyone smile and who doesn’t need a smile!? Seriously!
Last November, I undertook a personal project called “The Pug Project”, where I photographed 9 different pugs on a variety of different themed sets for the purpose of a 2018 Pug Calendar (The cover photo is below) 😉
I’ve chosen to start my week of sharing with sweet old Tucker. Tucker was nearly 13 when she came in to see me… I was pretty excited when her Mama submitted her photo for consideration for the Pug Project, because I wanted a variety of sizes, shapes, colours, and ages and she was definitely the oldest gal up for consideration. There was no doubt in my mind that Tucker would become my “December Pug”. She had sweet, kind, happy eyes and a tongue that didn’t quite fit back in her mouth anymore – she stole my heart immediately. When the time came for her session, she rocked it!
Sadly, last week, Tucker crossed the Rainbow Bridge… which is why I thought it incredibly fitting to honour her today by starting my week of Pug sharing with her. 🙂
Thank you, Tucker, for being a rockstar “Christmas Pug” for me, and for the years of loyalty and companionship that you gave your humans. You will be missed.

Everyone wants to win something, and I don’t often give away free creative portrait sessions, but I’m desperately trying to raise as much money as I can for a fantastic cause! 🙂
I am so proud to be part of a network of amazing photographers in this area who, each year, donate their time and talent to help raise money, toys, and food for those less fortunate.
My business model is unique in this region, being one of only a few professional photographers who offer Custom Pet Portraiture. As such, my “Giving Back” service to my community is to raise as much money as I can each year to a deserving local animal rescue.
This year, I have chosen to support Street Cats Rescue. Of the original 42 timeslots that were available on Saturday November 25th, 21 still remain. I want to fill them ALL so that I can give as much as possible to this amazing organization!
So, I’m offering a wee incentive to fill those remaining timeslots! I am going to be giving away TWO Creative Portrait packages (valued at $375+hst each) to be used in 2018!
There are two ways to win:
1. Anyone who donates and signs up for the event will be entered into a draw, which I will do live once all spots are filled. (Yes, this also applies to those already booked). Donation amount is only $40 and covers your session and a digital file of your choice with print release and rights to share online. SIGN UP HERE: http://raindancephoto.ca/mach/view.php?id=46563
2. TAG SOMEONE who has a pet who might be interested in this event. The tag must be on THIS ORIGINAL POST to count. IF the person you tag signs up for the event, YOUR name will be entered into the draw for the Creative Portrait Package!
BONUS: EVERYONE who tags a friend on this post will be entered into a draw to win a $25 Starbucks Gift Card (because it’s that time of year when we could ALL use just a bit more caffeine!)
Here are just a very small sampling of portraits from last years’ Pet Photo Event. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies!
Well, it’s that time of year when my outdoor work wraps up and I move the show into the studio for the Winter months. I just did my very last outdoor family session of the year tonight, which is just as well because it was COLD out there, and me and cold don’t really mix. 😛
Family sessions during the colder months are for those clients who adore a more clean, classic portrait. They might be for you if you’re looking for a studio-style family portrait that will stand the test of time above your fireplace and on your walls. My studio can accommodate families up to 7 individuals in size, and pets are always welcome!
2018 Pricing is now in effect, so please feel free to have a peek around this website, and Contact Me if you have any questions at all or would like to book your session! I book Monday-Friday between 10am-2pm, but do have the odd evening timeslot available for those of you who cannot make it during weekday hours. 🙂
For now, here is one of my favourite sessions from last Winter… enjoy! 😉
