For as long as I can remember, my life has revolved around caring for companion animals and nurturing the bonds they share with their human families - first as a vet tech, now as a pet photographer. This blog is where I will feature my fave pet photo sessions, share pet tips - including how to take better photos of your own pet, home decor and pet photo display ideas, news, updates, special events, and probably a lot of rambling about dogs and how awesome they are.

2024 International Pet Photographer of the Year Awards
The results are in for this year’s International Pet Photographer Awards, and out of 10 images submitted, I received 1 Silver Award, 4 Bronze Distinction, and 5 Bronze. Not too shabby, considering there were over 3000 images submitted!
2024 Canadian National Image Competition
I've been waiting to announce my scores in this year's Professional Photographers of Canada National Image Competition, to see if I was a finalist for any awards, and it was worth the wait!
For the 5th year in a row, I am a finalist for National Photographic Artist of the Year. Maybe this will be my year (probably not, you should see the competition! )
Finalist for National Photographer of the Year!
Judging for the Professional Photographers of Canada National Image competition took place last week, and I received my best scores ever, with 3 images receiving scores of Excellence (highest score) and 1 receiving a Merit (second highest). This means I am also a finalist for National Photographic Artist of the Year, as well as a Best in Class for Animals! Now for the torturous wait until the awards ceremony in April…
Third Place in WPE Awards
A friend recommended that I enter this international photography competition, WPE Awards, so I put 3 images in and then kind of forgot about it. Much to my surprise, I got home from a session on Saturday evening to a message that my photo of a poodle puppy jumping through a patch of clover took 3rd Place in the Animals category! All 3 of the images I entered received scores of “silver”.
Photographic Artist of the Year 2018
The Atlantic Region of Professional Photographers of Canada held their annual image competition recently, and I took home a bunch of awards, including Photographic Artist of the Year! I also won the Bruce Berry Award for Best Overall Print, Best Pictorial/Floral, Best Fine Art, and 2 Judge’s Choice awards. What a night to remember! (And I sure was glad I didn’t wear heels).
