      <image:title>Blog - No such thing as a perfect dog</image:title>
      <image:caption>Hard fought victories Then one day they start to see that trust build between the dog and themselves. They keep working on things. They notice improvements in the dog’s behaviour. They realize the dog will never be the one they pictured for themselves, far from it. But that’s ok. Because the also realize they’re totally and utterly in love. Worth celebrating This was me a few years ago. At the time I thought I was alone in my experience with our new puppy Polly. Since then I’ve been so many people like me and dogs like Polly. We’ve done tremendous work with the dogs and realize our dogs will always have certain limitations. But it doesn’t mean they don’t enrich our lives every day. That’s why I love capturing these hard fought relationships and these special dogs that teach us so much.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Why I Want to Learn About Your Pet Before the Photoshoot - Gimli and Legolas at home in Victoria</image:title>
      <image:caption>1. Understanding Your Pet’s Personality Just like people, every pet is unique. By learning about your pet’s temperament in advance, I can tailor the session to get the most out of our time together. If your dog is nervous around new people, I’ll take a slow and gentle approach. I won’t be trying to talk them into something they’re not comfortable with because I’ll know ahead of time what works well for them and what doesn’t. If they’re full of energy, we can plan for plenty of playtime and a few action shots! This advance knowledge makes the whole process run smoother, quicker and everyone has more fun. You can sit back and relax and not have to worry about explaining things to me. 2. Planning for Special Needs or Preferences Does your pet have any special needs, medical conditions, or sensitivities? Maybe they’re deaf, have arthritis, or are reactive to certain sounds. Knowing these details helps me adjust my techniques, choices, and pacing so your pet stays happy and comfortable throughout the session. Knowing certain details can make or break the session. For example, this winter I did shoot where there were two dogs in the household who were friends but would never touch. This allowed me to set them up in the shot to make sure they both featured prominently but never got too close to one another!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>1. Book an outdoor pet session Always dreamed of having a photo of your dog in their happy place? There’s no better time to capture them running down the beach, standing on the edge of a mountain, or emerging from their favourite lake! These images make great art that takes you back to these special moments every time you see them. 1. Book a pet studio session There’s nothing I love more than creating a special experience for you and your fur baby in the studio. I especially love working with clients on a concept and bringing it to reality. With professional lighting and a controlled setting, we can create stunning portraits that showcase your pet in a dramatic and artistic way. 2. Book an at home pet photo session If your pet is most comfortable in their own environment, booking an at-home sessions a great way to capture their true personality. Whether it's lounging in their favorite sunny spot, playing in the backyard, or snuggling up on the couch, these sessions create intimate and natural portraits that highlight your pet’s unique charm. 3. Use my artwork in your business, free of charge There’ s nothing like photos of adorable dogs to draw your customers in and get them smiling. If you’re a business owner you can incorporate my professional pet artwork in your space. With my professional photo printer, mats and frames I’m able to create large scale pieces to fit your needs. 4. Book a traveling pet photo session Hankering for a professional photoshoot but don’t live in Victoria? I regularly travel from coast to coast, making stops in Calgary, Toronto and points in between. I can’t wait to work with you and your pets in 2025! Whether you’re looking for a cozy at-home session, a stylish studio experience or art for your business there’s I would love to create something special for you.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Studio or in-home pet photography. What’s right for you? - You might like to come to my studio if…</image:title>
      <image:caption>Your dog is apprehensive about visitors to your home. Our dog Polly likes meeting people when out and about but if someone new comes to do the front door she immediately transforms into guard dog mode. Even after assuring her the guest is our friend she remains suspicious. Obviously, this would not be the ideal scenario for a photographer to walk into! You’re looking for that Vogue magazine-inspired look or another look in particular. It’s much easier to create this in studio where I have access to different tools such as lighting and backdrop systems. You want a fun experience where you and your pet feel like a star!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Studio or in-home pet photography. What’s right for you?</image:title>
      <image:caption>You might like me to come to your home if… You want to capture a “day in the life" feel with your pet. I can document your favorite place to sit with your furbaby, what they like to do around the house and the everyday magic that surrounds your life with them. Your pet is more comfortable at home! This is especially true for cats. Your pet is a senior, has a health condition or just had surgery. Obviously we want your pet to feel as safe and content as possible. Your pet is easily distracted by new sights, sounds and smells. I strive to create a relaxed environment in the studio and most dogs love to explore and sniff before I get started. But if you feel this will be too overwhelming your home might be best.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - What to wear to a lavender farm photoshoot - Tips:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Wear a dress You may not wear dresses day-to-day but keep your mind open about wearing one to the lavender farm. A flowy dress looks amazingly flattering it photos. It instantly adds drama and romance. Wearing a dress will make you want dance with your partner and spin in the wind with your kids. Or, Choose something else that adds movement There are options other than a dress that add great movement and elegance. Consider flowy pants, a kimono or scarf. Accessorize Hats are some my absolute favorite accessories. They’re fun, draw attention to your face and give you something to do with your hands. Hats also have a transformational quality, helping you channel a whimsical side of your personality. Are you in Provence or BC? Who knows, you’re rocking a carefree straw hat and look like a million bucks. Necklaces and jewelry also beautiful finishing touches.

      <image:title>Blog - Three fun spots for grad photos at UVic- family photographers Victoria BC - I love photographing grads to celebrate wrapping up their time at university. After deciding on a date for the photos, the next question is always, where should we meet? If you’re graduating from the University of Victoria you’re in luck! You have so many beautiful choices. Here are a few of my faves: * But first: 2025 grad photo sessions are filling up quickly. Book Now to secure your spot!</image:title>
      <image:caption>UVic quad Starting your photos at the quad is always a great choice. You’ve likely spent time enjoying this dynamic place, whether playing frisbee, soaking up rays on the lawn or studying by the fountain. The space provides such a variety of backdrops. From the wide open field with its distinctive totem poles and stately trees to the graphic concrete fountain and chairs with fun pops of colour, there’s something interesting wherever you look. Finnerty Gardens Always my go to location, Finnerty Gardens, provides a lush, ever changing backdrop.  Winding pathways lead to a variety of “rooms” throughout the garden, each featuring different Pacific Northwest trees and shrubs. Sprinkled throughout are plenty of benches and fun features like ponds and a bamboo grove.  If you love blossoms, this is the place to be. In the spring the garden is a riot of color with rhododendrons and magnolias. Late summer and into fall, the hydrangeas are showstopping.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Unique locations for a family photoshoot in Victoria BC - A multi generational family session</image:title>
      <image:caption>Today it’s easy to drive down to the park and hop out for photos along the trails and flat rocky surfaces overlooking the strait. If mobility isn’t an issue, staircases nearby lead to two different beaches, one covered in large pebbles and one with coarse sand and plenty of big driftwood logs to sit on.  This east Saanich park is a fun place to hang out as a family. Beach comb, skip stones and watch the otters – with any luck you’ll barely know I’m there! I had a blast capturing an extended family session at Glenco Cove Kwatsech Park last year.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>If life has a few turning points, graduating from high school, university or college is definitely one of the biggest.  I still remember the excitement of finishing high school and the nervousness of starting at university. It’s as if after so many years of incubation, I was finally being released out into the world. While I would like to think I was better equipped than a baby, I still needed to learn a few things (laundry!).   Years later, wrapping up my university career I felt a bit the same, not too sure about the direction I was headed but excited about the future.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The best time of day for family photos in Victoria BC - So what time should we meet? Picking a time for your photos doesn’t need to be complicated. Timing comes down to two things: when the light will be the prettiest, and when your kids will be at their best!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Finding beautiful light Most photographers will suggest a time when the light is most flattering. For many, this will be golden hour (the hour before sunset) when the light is soft and has a golden effect on hair and skin. The catch is, during the summer, golden hour takes place around 8 p.m., not the greatest if you have little ones.  Times to avoid</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Lighting your photoshoot in Victoria, BC - The Power of Light</image:title>
      <image:caption>Light can be used to create everything from dramatic silhouettes to dreamy golden scenes and dark and soulful portraits. Over time, photographers learn how to harness light to create certain looks or moods. Knowing this, a good photographer will work with you to see what results you would like. That will help us pick the the best location and time for the shoot. Choosing a Light  Golden hour (the hour before sunset) has long been revered as the gold standard in family photography. You have likely seen those photos in wheat fields with the subjects looking ethereal, their hair like stands of gold. Sounds ideal, right?Yes, the results are usually oustanding. The catch is, during the summer, golden hour takes place around 8 p.m. If you have young ones and are set on photos during this magical hour I would recommend waiting until the fall when the sun sets earlier.  Another option I love is shooting on a cloudy day. With an overcast sky, light falls softly across my subjects, which results in super flattering photos.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Lighting your photoshoot in Victoria, BC</image:title>
      <image:caption>A bonus of cloudy day photography is there’s no need to time it as specifically as golden hour shoots. This means you can even meet me at midday and walk away with beautiful photos (no harsh shadows!).  That being said, it’s not impossible to schedule a photoshoot on a bright, sunny day. With bright skies, it’s all about seeking out open shade: I love to place my subject under a tree on a bright day. This way we can avoid harsh shadows on their face AND save their eyes from squinting. I hope I helped illuminate a bit about why photographers are so obsessed with light. We know how important it is in setting the mood and helping you look your best. We’re always happy to answer any questions clients may have about lighting, location and timing. It’s all about making things easy for you and putting you and your family in the best possible light. Do you have questions about lighting and the best time of day to meet? I would love to chat!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Hats are some my absolute favorite accessories. They’re fun, draw attention to your face and give you something to do with your hands. Hats also have a transformational quality, helping you channel a jaunty, elegant, or even mysterious side of your personality. Not a hat person? Scarves and necklaces also work. I can’t wait to talk wardrobe with you!</image:caption>

      <image:title>About</image:title>
      <image:caption>Hello! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a Victoria, BC-based photographer specializing in pet photography. I know what it’s like to feel time slipping by while wanting to capture those you love most (see photo of my kids and dog below!). I also know what it’s like to have a less than “perfect” pet. Why work with me? An artist’s eye I hold a Master of Arts in Journalism and have photographed for companies, publications and families for years. Whether working in studio, outside, or in your home, I’ll collaborate with you to create something truly unique and make sure your images are printed to perfection. Experienced working with animals Having grown up on a hobby farm surrounded by animals and training our rescue pup through reactive behaviour, I’m attuned to your pet’s cues. Photographing pets exclusively over the last couple of years has afforded me valuable experience that I can’t wait to share with you!</image:caption>
