Teetu

Everybody...this is Teetu.  A beautiful Husky that belongs to my nephew. I did these photos back in the beginning of November but I couldn't post them because these photos were a Christmas gift for my nephew from his Mom.  Teetu was so much fun to photograph and he loved to pose for me.  I'm glad Teetu's Dad loved the photos.

Going to the Dogs...and the Cats...and the Pig?

With the festive season almost here, it's only right that Fluffy, Fido and Einstein the Pig get their photo's taken with Santa.  The SPCA in Chelsea had their Open House which allowed our furry friends to tell Santa what they would like for Christmas.  We had lots of dogs, a couple of cat's and one special visitor....Einstein the Pig.

My photo instructor, Harry Nowell, http://www.harrynowell.com/ volunteers to take photos and open's up this opportunity to one of his students.  I jumped at the chance to do this.  I believe I put my name in for this over a year ago when I signed up for the ProProgram Course.

Most of the pet's coming in to get their photo taken, adopted their new families at the SPCA in Chelsea.  The volunteers here are the most wonderful, amazing people and I was thrilled to be part of this special day.  The Open House and Photo's With Santa raised about $2000.00. I know all the animals that have passed through this shelter say Thank You.  Woof!  Meow!  Oink!

Here are a few photos of this wonderful day.

Fluffy here was all decked out for it's photo with Santa.  It came in with bells on!


How cute am I?

Our beloved Maxwell, passed away almost 4 years and I have been trying to get my husband to agree on adopting another dog but I haven't had any luck.  This little guy was looking for a new home so I took him to Santa, took his photo and was hoping to show this little face to my husband and maybe adopt him.  No luck but I think he's starting to think about it.  Fingers crossed.

This handsome fellow with Santa is Biscuit.

Einstein The Pig made me laugh.  I've never been near a real pig before.  Einstein was so cute with his top hat and coat.

Smile for the camera Einstein.

About Me

My photo
Ottawa, Canada
My family moved from Oakville, Ontario to Pembroke, Ontario in 1976 and from the moment I arrived in the little town of Pembroke my goal was to leave but with being 7 years old I had a number of years to wait. Attending Champlain High School and trying to decide my future, I was determined to go to Sheridan College in Oakville and take the Journalism Program there. I took a Co-op credit through High School and did my work experience at a local Pembroke weekly newspaper where they gave me a notepad, a pen, a camera and sent me out in the vast city of Pembroke. My favourite weekly task was to go to the local human society and take a picture of the Pet of Week. I actually loved my time working on the paper but the photography portion interested me more than the writing. My Journalism dreams didn’t happened but my love of photography carried with me but in the past few years I’ve started to become more and more interested in the technique of photography and in 2009 I received my first DSLR camera and have become a photography junkie. I’m hoping you enjoy following this blog and watch my love for photography grow with each posting.
