Kelly Nitchie

Kelly was super easy to work with.  We had a great afternoon a few weeks ago deciding on how he wanted to present himself with his new headshots.  And even more fun was the shoot itself! We got some great shots, and here are our faves.  Break a leg out there Kelly!

UIRC Hunt Tests at Black Creek B.C.

Ok - there are times when I can't believe that this is my job.  I have been shooting for 16 years and it still blindsides me sometimes how very fortunate I am to do what I do.  I was invited by the Upper Island Retriever Club to be their exclusive photographer at their inaugural Hunt Test event in Black Creek B.C.. What an incredible time I had.  The scenery was beyond breath taking, the people were kind and generous, but the absolute delight of my 5 days up there were the incredible dogs and their handlers. I was so blown away by these incredible dogs and how beautiful and capable they were.  The level of training it takes to get dogs to perform and achieve at this level is mind blowing.  Is it bad that I find myself using some hand signs on my daughter?  Maybe I can get her to tidy up more with the right hand commands!
I shot for 4 days though rain and blistering heat and came away absolutely exhausted, but exhilarated. After shooting thousands of images, they are finally online for viewing.  But here are a few of my favourites from the Masters stake on the first day. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Thank you so much to Kathy and Barb, Maureen and Lyall and everyone else who made it possible to be there.  It will go down in my books as one of the cooler shoots that I have done!
