For those of you who don’t follow SDP on Facebook and/or Instagram  and if you don’t receive the scruffy dog newsletter … well … you will certainly be out of the loop, and will not have gotten the memo.  So I’m posting it here on the blog as well since time is running out! Here’s the thing…  In my 15 yrs of photographing exclusively pets, I have always made it a priority to be accessible to ALL pet guardians.  Distance hasn’t mattered, with clients traveling from all over Ontario and Quebec, from Michigan and New York, and even as far as Kansas and California.  Traini ..read more

Stella & Wiser are back ~ Ontario pet photographer

Oh gosh … I wish I could blame Covid on my utter lack of blogging these past years, but my delinquency in keeping up began long before the pandemic.  While it does take time to mount a single blog post and prep the images, it’s mostly the written content that makes the task seem arduous at times, causing even further procrastination.  I grow farther and farther behind, and as the time stretches between the sessions and the posts, I struggle to know what to write about sessions that took place so long ago.  So … I’m going to try to worry less about written content, and focus on t ..read more

Well, it appears that it’s been over two years since my last blog entry.  As a one-woman show, running an incorporated business single-handedly, acting as photographer, dog wrangler, photo editor, office manager and CEO, publicist, marketer, social media associate, customer service rep and liaison, accountant,   … and with so many social media platforms now, it’s virtually impossible to excel in all positions I hold in this small business.  As a result, it would appear that the blog has been grossly neglected.   So … before I tackle any blog entries about the past two ..read more

Meet Charlotte … another entry in the special Dogs We’ve Loved series — a series that pays tribute to those dogs we have loved in life and continue to love beyond, the dogs who live on in our memories, in our hearts, our souls, and through the very important photos we create of them. You can see other entries in the Dogs We’ve Loved series here. This lovely Sharpei girl was just as sweet as they come during her session back in July 2015.  And what’s more she was already 10 yrs old when her guardians adopted her. In guardian Kaitlyn’s words: “We rescued Charlotte at the ripe old age at 10 ..read more

Honoring those lost ~ Ontario pet photographer

This blog post is a long time coming … two years to be exact … as it’s been that long since I lost both Matea and Merrick.   For those of you who have lost a beloved dog or cat, or if you know this time is coming, and especially for those of you who have lost too many times already, it’s hard to know what to do to honor those who are now gone.  There are many options from burial to cremation, spreading of ashes to having some of their ashes incorporated into a piece of jewelry or art, even having carbon extracted from those cremated remains to make a diamond.  I guess, in a ..read more

DNA for your dog, and why you shouldn’t bother ~ commercial pet photographer

Most of my loyal blog and Facebook followers will already be very familiar with Matlin, the amazing scruffy who joined my pack back in the summer of 2016. She was adopted from Dogs Etc of Texas, involving a very long drive to Dallas and back, and I was fortunate to have her meet Matea and Merrick and be with them for the two short months before their passing. You can read more about Matlin on her scruffy dog bio page, and even more about her in her first blog entry. Not a week goes by when I’m not stopped at least a half dozen times by people asking: “What breed of dog is that?” … and online ..read more

Like a lot of Honor Sessions, Masi’s session was booked with a degree of urgency.  Having been diagnosed with aggressive congestive heart fai ..read more
