sometimes you find images on your phone that speak to you.. these are two that i can’t seem to shake.. they give me all “the feels”.. they bring me back to the actual day i shot them… ahhhhh. 🙂
i love them. life is beautiful.

i love dogs and i love wine.
poetry and prose are a beautiful accompaniment to both.
our Vineyard Dogs of the Okanagan book is all of the above.

.. i am happy to report, the project is done.
it’s a book.
it features dogs.
And it features vineyards.
It’s shot in wine country.
what could be better than that?
not much.

it is just so sad when a life ends.. it’s best to remember the great times.
like when Skai and i hiked all over Maui.. he was the best host a girl could ever ask for.
thank you Peter for allowing your precious boy to be my sidekick while i was visiting..
RIP Skai

this, i am pretty sure will be Nelson’s first Christmas with a family that is crazy in love with him.
i was explaining to him that we will have a decorated tree, BUT not one that he can pee on (like he does in the forest).
i also explained that it will be a really fun time with people that love him.
and that he will get to unwrap presents on Christmas morning.
i think he was a bit overwhelmed with the information.

he has endured so much in his short life.
he is as sweet as can be.
he loves to be photographed.
i love to photograph him.

all things must end.
a book project that started three years ago will be coming to an end after one final shooting trip.
it was a time full of dogs, wine, poetry as well as many laughs .. long hours of driving, listening to music and much too much caffeine.
i can hardly wait to see the final product.

this is Nelson, a street-dog we found in a village in the middle of nowhere in Greece. he was skin and bones, suffering from severe mange and malnutrition. with much help from rescue organizations in Canada, the UK and Greece, as well as generous financial donations from all over the world, sweet sweet Nelsie was nursed back to health from the brink of death. (hard to imagine, i know.. considering how awesome he looks today)
go Nelsie go!

i photographed Hana, a great dane puppy.
she isn’t allowed on the furniture at home, so she was very tentative when asked to hop up onto the sofa.
it is called a sofa session for a reason! 😉
she was very comfy lazing about on the sofa by the end of the shoot.
