i met loki and angus with their momma bright and early on a chilly fall day in the beaches for our photoshoot/playdate. loki (named for the norse god of mischief) suits her name. she is a bundle of energy and is obsessed (that’s putting it lightly) with her soft bite floppy disc. as long as it’s in sight she…
last week i met an adorable shaggy yorkiepoo named milou (pronounced mee-loo). according to his momma (who successfully gave him his latest haircut) his nickname is ‘trouble’. on arrival i noticed that his energy level was pretty high, so, i started off bonding with him in the backyard, throwing the ball around…also hoping that all that exercise…
last saturday was an absolutely heartbreaking day for me. not only did i have a now i lay me down to sleep session, but i also shared the very last walk with a handsome dog named sam. sam is a neighborhood dog that we see on a regular basis at the park. sam’s health had been rapidly deteriorating and his family made…
Dear Marcia,
As Sam’s grandmother I shared in the sadness of his illness. I am so proud of AnnaBelle & Scott, their love & care for Sam was exemplary. I know how much your photographs mean to them. I am also a Labour & Delivery Nurse at Sunnybrook & have seen examples of your group’s “now I lay me down to sleep” photographs, they are beyond words. Your work is a blessing.

Great Photos of Sam!
Beautiful work too!
now the title is not a comment on any physical traits of this family, yet rather a reference to their love of the the original gourmet jelly bean. not a usual method for bonding on a family photo shoot, but this family loves their candy. i’m talking candy necklaces, pez and most importantly jelly beans! so, we got everyone hopped…
Loved it!

Helen Williamson - Love the pic’s of Angus,Loki and of course Kim. I am an old friend of Kim’s we went to school together. I had actually seen your pic’s on kim’s fb acct, loved them right away (to say the least). So I was just wondering if it’s only “pet” shoot or if you do other types of pic’s. My goal is to help you with your work and lol my mothers dog is like a more important family member than her biological children, so thought I might get her some shoots of her dog and she as a gift. She has a group of similar friends that I know would find this of intrest. I was also thinking of doing a semi family shoot. I am unwell so to speak so I figure get em done while I still can convince myself that am a knock out lol. Look forward to hearing from you and if things go according to my plan I’m sure I can find more intrest with my mothers other friends.
Agnes Timar - I love your work, Marcia. When my dog gets a bit older, I will book you for a session.
Regards.

Gail - FABULOUS photos….the dogs are gorgeous. Obvious how much they are loved and love in return.
I remember seeing Angus in the newspaper and hoping he found just the right home, knowing that ACD’s are not for everyone.
I adopted a Red Heeler 5 yrs ago from a kill shelter in KY. As I told my husband, was looking to rescue “just a plain brown dog that no one else wanted”. I found “Midge” on their website marked “URGENT!” They called her an ACD “mix”, which was fine with me. It was about 6 months later that I stumbled upon someone in the south who is a rescuer, but formerly a breeder of Heelers. She asked to see a photo of our Midge. She wrote back that Midge was *definitely* a purebred and sent a photo of one of her former champions for comparison. They were identical. I never knew…or really cared that much. But now I know that I love the breed….adore them….but a more laid back Heeler suits our family better.
Fun to see your pictures and I wish you many, many more happy years with Loki and Angus.
best,
Gail Clark
