Saturday Studio Shenanigans

The studio has been buzzing with activity lately! Some canine clients  from one of  our recent Saturday sessions included Ollie the Schnoodle and his little sister Gracie, also a Schnoodle. Ollie first visited us in mid-2009 for a photo session with his feline friend Bella. For his second visit, he bought Gracie along to meet us. The pups were simply adorable and they could do the synchronised head tilt to perfection! Cuteness plus!

 

The same morning we also met Taj, an eleven year old German shepherd cross. Taj was one of the youngest “over 10’s” we have had the pleasure of photographing. He had a lovely shiny coat, white teeth and clear, cataract free eyes! His ‘parents’ Jeanette and Brad put it down to his all natural diet, and believe he has grown younger over the past few years! Taj has a lovely nature and was a natural in front of the lens.

And rounding up a fab day in the studio, Inspector Ruth from the RSPCA WA bought in her beautiful two year old pooch Leyla for a portrait sitting. Leyla had so many varied poses, each one full of poise and grace, synonymous with the German Shepherd breed. The photo of Leyla with her head on her paws is one of my new personal favourites! How can you not melt at the sight of those big brown eyes!?!

More images from each studio session can be found on our Gallery page.

We are friends, no?

Recently I did a photo shoot of Frank and Joyce’s pooches – the elderly gentleman, Satchmo and his little buddy Toby.  They both seemed to enjoy being in the spotlight and having their photo taken … until it came to their ‘together’ shots. Not keen to get too close, this ended up being one of my favourite shots from the session. Usually for these ‘pairs’ pics I would aim to depict a connection and bond  between my subjects, but here you can see Satchmo heading off in search of more treats whilst Toby looks slightly bemused,  wondering if it was something he said! 

But in this case the shot works! Because their body language actually sums up the relationship between these two dog ‘brothers’. Frank and Joyce told me that Satchmo often wags his tail, hitting the smaller Toby in the head, so Toby is always keen to put some distance between them! And Satchmo quite likes food too, hence him heading off on a “Find the treats” quest. Luckily, Frank and Joyce also thought the photo was a great capture of their two fur kids relating to each other as they usually do at home. 

And here’s a pic Joyce sent me of Toby and Satchmo  doing the same at home!

Our Recent Studio Visitors

This is old soul Jake, best friend to Deb. He is almost 14 years young and is such a gentle and kind dog.  I really see his poise and elegance shine through in these two photographs.

 

Two adorable dogs – Gilly the papillion cavalier and Jasper the maltese shitzu. Little Jas looks like a puppy but in actual fact she’s 12! She has the most fabulous haircut and gorgeous big black eyes which you could just fall into. And Gilly loves his hugs and cuddles and rolling around on his back. 

 

This is Nasa, who is possibly the best behaved one year old dog I’ve ever come across. Being totally black, she looks stunning on my black background, and I’m so glad her owners Dave and Ceri love this shot as much as I do!

 

 

Want to hear one of the best dog names ever? This is Magnet Roy and he travelled all the way from Port Hedland to have photos taken in the studio! A miniature black schnauzer, he was a delight to photograph! Thanks to Sara and Ron for bringing him to Perth for his shoot!
