Named as Best Canine Photographer /Artist

I flew to Melbourne yesterday for a quick 17 hour round trip to attend the national 4th Annual Master Dog Breeders and Associates Dog Owner’s Choices Awards last night.  The awards are designed to recognise exceptional service and standards within the dog industry, and are the only awards of thier kind within Australia.

I was nominated by my lovely clients (18 times apparently!) in the Best Canine Photographer / Artist category – a field with 12 other photographers vying for the title and was thrilled when I was announced as the winner! I can’t thank the people who nominated me enough and am so appreciative of the time they all took to write submissions about their Houndstooth Studio experience. Thanks also to the major awards sponsor Dogz Online.

We were in good company too with Dogs Life Magazine winning Best Dog Publication in the MDBA Dog Owner’s Choice Awards – congrats to Laura and team. We’re proud to be a photography partner!

Am looking forward to working under the title of Best Canine Photographer / Artist in 2011 and beyond!
