Adoptable Kittens and Cats from AARCS

CLOVE

 
Clove is a very outgoing 4 month old kitten. She has no fear and immediate settles into new environments. Clove loves everything and everyone; other cats, dogs, kids…you name it, Clove loves them! And oh boy, does she love to play! A typical day in the life of Clove goes like this; breakfast, play, play some more, nap, play, supper, play, snuggle on the couch with her people, play until bed time. That’s a lot of playing, but Clove also LOVES her snuggle time! She will happily curl up on your lap or shoulder and purr contently until she falls asleep. And she’s a good sleeper at night. There is no middle of the night playtime. She gets all her playing done during the day. Clove uses the litter box 100%, doesn’t scratch the furniture or get into anything that she shouldn’t. Because Clove is young and still very playful she would do best in a home with another young cat/kitten to be her buddy. If you are looking for a kitten who will provide hours of entertainment as well as soak up all the love you can give her then Clove is the kitten for you!http://aarcs.ca/portfolio-item/a20926834/
 
 

 SADIE

Sadi is a 5 year old, declawed female who came into AARCS care with her ‘sister’ Myrtle when their previous owner became ill and could no longer care for them. There is no doubt that Sadi’s previous owner loved her very much as she has a wonderful disposition and is very, very friendly. She LOVES to sit in the window and have a nap in the afternoon sun or watch the birds and squirrels in the trees. Sadi loves to be petted, get ear scratches and will sleep with her people on occasion. Sadi is curious and likes to know what is going on. She accompanies her foster Mom where ever she goes, preferring to walk along beside her rather than being carried. Sadi currently lives with other cats and a dog and gets along with everyone. It would be wonderful if Sadi was adopted with her sister Myrtle, but it’s not mandatory. Does Sadi sound like she’s the right cat to make your family complete?? http://aarcs.ca/portfolio-item/a20555407/

 

MYRTLE

Myrtle is an absolutely beautiful 5 year old female who came into AARCS care with her ‘sister’ Sadi when their previous owner became ill and could no longer care for them. Everyone that meets Myrtle comments on how beautiful and what a lovely mannered cat she is. Myrtle is a very calm, laid back lady (yes, she’s all lady!) who enjoys lounging in the sunshine and keeping her people company. She is rarely makes a sound and has a little tiny meow. Myrtle doesn’t beg for affection but if you’d like to snuggle with her then she’s all for it! She’ll happily sit on your lap or be carried around. Myrtle lives with several other cats and a dog and gets along fine with them, although her foster family is sure she’ll be happy to see the rambuncious kitten get adopted. It would be wonderful if Myrtle was adopted with her sister Sadi, but it’s not mandatory. If you are interested in Myrtle please pay her a visit, you will fall instantly in love! http://aarcs.ca/portfolio-item/a20555362/

Take one of these ladies home - adopt today!




Sproule Golf Tournament

I am always so thrilled when I am asked to shoot Sproule's annual golf tournament at the beautiful Earl Grey Golf Club.  It is such a fun day - I mean really, enjoying the sun, taking photos and getting people to laugh?  Somehow that doesn't feel a lot like work.  And thankfully, this year there was sun! That date is notorious for rain, wind and generally blustery weather, so I was happy for 24 degrees and gorgeous.  Here are just a couple shots from the day. Thanks for having me out!

Carla's Birthday

Carla had a birthday a short while ago, and thoughtful Cory gave her the gift of family photos-including the co-operation of her children. And they were fabulous! I love all the different shots we got. So here's a sneak peek for you Carla - hope you love them!  And you get to see all the rest tomorrow. :)

Cassie, Jillian and Sandy

I love being invited to be a part of the various relationships within a family. So when Heather asked me to capture her daughters and their aging dog, Sandy, I felt honoured to be asked. This secret project is for their dad, so if you know them...hush hush....
Here is a teaser of a few of the shots from the day:

Addison for A.A.R.C.S.

I got puppy kisses today! There is seriously little better than that! (Except Carter kisses of course....). I photographed Addison for AARCS this morning and she is the LOVELIEST little girl.  Here is her write up from the site, and check out her adorable pics below! She is adoptable now!
Addison is a spunky little girl who loves nothing more than lying by your feet.  She is very smart but does things on her own terms. Patience is the key when teaching Addison new things.  She can sit and lay down. We are working on the puppy bites and no jumping. Addison has been in her foster home with 3 kids under the age of 4 and is incredible with our baby, even when he tries to steal her toys.  She wants to be friends with every dog she meets, whether they like it or not, and I imagine she would be the same with cats.

Kevin Rothery

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Kevin a couple of weeks ago.  What a fun shoot! And I was completely honoured that Kevin choose Chipperfield Photography for his new shots.  Kevin has had quite an illustrious career and it is always such a great feeling to be chosen for such an important part of the marketing side of an actors career. So thanks! And break a leg. :)
Here are the two final shots that we chose:

Reaux and Molly for A.A.R.C.S.

 Reaux and Molley are two lovely Springer Spaniels that I met while photographing them for AARCS. They are up for adoption and are both sweethearts-they would make an amazing addition to any home.  If you want more information about either - or both!!!! - check out their profiles below.

In Memorium - Doug Neff

The world lost a lovely man yesterday and I am very saddened by his passing.  Doug touched my heart with his kindness and the world is a bit darker without him in it. My heart goes out to his wife Marg and his family. Here are a few shots from several years ago - this is how I remember him.

Brynn


Oh my gosh do I love love love little kid energy! I love the challenge of getting them to connect and focus for a millisecond.  There is just something so satisfying when it all comes together and they feel safe and comfortable enough to be their fabulous little selves. My shoot with Brynn was just like this.  I love her pink tutu - it's perfect with the rustic backdrop and other than a touch of wind, the day was just perfect! Here are a few of her final shots. Enjoy!

Poole Lawyer

I was privileged to work with the awesome people over at Poole Lawyer again this summer.  They have added to their staff and needed updated shots for their website.  I love the whole vibe of their office - amazing art on the walls and creativity of thought abounds.  Here are a few of the shots that will be featured when the site is updated!

Chace and Co.

Bharb and Ted have been friends of ours for a long time.  And we have had the pleasure of watching little Chace grow for the last couple of years, though we don't get to see him nearly enough! So when we got a chance to go play and take some super fun shots on the weekend, I was all over it! Chace wanted no part of anything remotely structured, so using some super awesome toddler psychology we manipulated him in to more or less doing what we wanted. Here are a few of the shots that we got - enjoy your sneak peek guys!

AARCS Fundraiser

A couple of weekends ago, I had an absolute blast shooting a bunch of fur-babies (and one human one!) at the new Calgary Pet Wellness and Spay/Neuter Clinic. It was a bit chaotic but in such a lovely way. Truly my happy place playing with animals all day! So in the end, we had some awesome subjects.  Here are my favourite shots from the day!
Thanks to everyone who came out and supported AARCShttp://www.aarcs.ca/index.php - we raised almost $600 together for the day!
