2024 Pet of the Year - Willow the Havanese
Congratulations to Willow, the winner of my 2024 Pet of the Year contest.
I’ve been honoured to photograph Willow as she grew up, from her first puppy session to her first birthday and her Tails of the World book session on the beach. Since she’s just about the cutest (and sweetest!) dog ever, I thought you might enjoy seeing some highlights from her sessions.
2024 Reflections and Pet of the Year
I know that 2024 was a year of struggle for many, so I almost feel bad saying it, but it was a pretty great year for me.
I got to photograph so many amazing pets and make some wonderful pet lovers very happy, but I guess those things are a given because I have the best job EVER.
Beyond that, I achieved some personal and professional goals and had a few fantastic firsts. One of those highlights was having my first opportunity ever to photograph the Northern Lights, not a common occurrence in Southern New Brunswick! Even more amazing was that I had multiple opportunities to photograph them throughout the year, and I even managed to photograph Jewell, the Ibizan Hound in front of the Aurora Borealis! Definitely a bucket list photo shoot.
2023 Pet of the Year
The votes are in, and Bamboo, Judge & Tommy Minifie are the Grand Prize Winners of the 2023 Pet of the Year Contest! Congratulations!
This lucky trio and their human family have won a $900 Wall Art Credit that they can use to purchase artwork from a past or future session. Tommy, the Frenchie says “maybe summer next time, mom"! He was very brave during their blizzardy session in Irishtown Nature Park, but it definitely was not his preference.
2021 Pets of the Year
Congratulations to chocolate Newfoundland dogs Rosco, Daisy and Little Lulu, the winners of my first Pet of the Year contest! I couldn’t be more pleased that these 3 won. They are kind of local celebrities in Moncton, and Mom Stacey Butler is the most devoted pet parent you could imagine.
