Francesca

 I have known the lovely and graceful Francesca for a long time and it was an absolute pleasure to have her come to the studio to get new headshots done to promote her business, Tantric Path. We had a fabulous afternoon, complete with the final minutes of the Canadian Womens Hockey gold medal win. Here are a couple of her final choices - and take a moment to check out her web site as well!

Hula

The lovely Shannon brought Hula in for her 9 month shots and OMG do I love puppy kisses! And fur...and...ok really I love everything puppy.  I can hardly wait to spend more time with her as she gets older! Here are a few of our favourite shots.

Pandamonium

I have been meaning to post this painting for months!  I was asked by a client to create this for one of her friends and clients.  He was moving in to a new condo she had helped him find and she wanted him to have new art for his place. I was so touched that she asked me to create this for him. It was fun to play off something cute with a touch of humour. This is Pandamonium!

Christine

 I have had the pleasure of working with Christine several times now, and each time I am so excited because she is so easy to work with.  She needed updated headshots for a few different things and opted to do professional makeup for some of them.  So we made it an afternoon and had the lovely Erin Teolis in to do hair and makeup part way through. Here are a few of her favourite shots!

 

 

 

 

 

AARCS - Limo and Maisy

I have another couple of furry friends from AARCS that are looking for homes. I had the pleasure of doing their shoots a few days ago and wanted to share them with you!

Meet Limo! An adorable little sweetie who is looking for her Furever home. Here's a link to her profile - LIMO

Laurie-Anne - a sneak peek

OMG - I had an old (but looking fabulously young!) friend in for a boudoir shoot on the weekend.  And did we have fun?  There were lacy garments everywhere, a touch of wine, music and some very hot shoes! Laurie-Anne decided to treat herself to a session and celebrate how freaking amazing she looks - huge kudos to her. The fabulous Erin Teolis did her hair and makeup and made L.A. feel like a dream.  It was an awesome afternoon and I can't wait to show her all the shots tomorrow!
Here's your sneak peek...

AARCS puppies galore

Here are a just a couple of rescue dogs I shot recently - they were both absolutely sweet - really what puppy isn't! I need a huge acreage so they can all come live with me.... but barring that, if you are looking for a sweetheart to call your own, check these guys out.

Jen

Hi there, my name’s Jack, Jack Frost! It was really cold when my AARCS heroes came to save me, not all of my family made it.. but I did, and I’m so happy! My foster family says I have a great personality; I get along really well with dogs and people, I just love to play and give them kisses! I am perfectly crate trained; sometimes I whine for a few minutes when I first go into my crate, but once I’m settled I will sleep through the night or while you’re away. My house training is going very well, sometimes I just need a little reminder. I love playing with toys and balls, and all the dogs and people I get to meet! I would be happy to be friends with cats, I just haven’t had much practice with them yet, same with kids. My foster mom says I’m really smart and am picking up all my training very well – I can do sit, down, and will come when called! I just love to be part of the group, and am happy to lay down at your feet and relax.
It would be so nice to meet you and give you snuggles and kisses. Please fill out an application, I am really looking forward to finding my forever family! Love Jack.

Holly!

 

This confident and affectionate little girl is eager to be wherever the action is.  Always willing to offer a quick snuggle and puppy kisses, then off Holly goes to play with whomever is available. Holly adores all the dogs and people she meets and she is a vocal little girl who talks up a storm while she plays. She has been curious about the cat, but the cat isn’t interested, so Holly just moves on.  Holly is learning to settle in her crate during the day and already sleeps through the night on her bed in our room. House training has been going very well and Holly is learning to be patient at meal-time.

Holly would make a great addition to any home. Please come and meet her - here's her link! http://aarcs.ca/portfolio-item/a21696828/

Art Show and Holiday Market Tomorrow

This is where I will be for the weekend - hanging out in Garrison Woods! I will have most of my current paintings there, as well as demoing onsite, all weekend! There will be a fabulous selection of vendors....and it's inside. What more could you ask for? I hope to see you all there - make sure you stop by and say hi!

Mico Migliarese

I LOVE when I can bring a new energy to an actors headshots - give them something new, or improved. It helps them get a foot in the door and is such a valuable tool!  Mico was definitely ready for an update and I am glad I could help him out with that.  The weather cooperated, and we were lucky to find a huge pile of railroad timbers by my favourite site as well! Here are his two new shots - break a leg Mico!

AARCS - Mona!

So much puppy love as of late.  And while it's sad that so many puppies need rescuing, I think that it is so amazing that there are so many agencies that are there for them.  So without further ado - meet Mona! She is available for adoption, and seriously...she is the cuddliest, softest puppy I have met yet!
Here is her link: http://aarcs.ca/portfolio-item/a21462631/

Hi! I’m Mona! I am a 2 month old mixed breed pup. I am currently living with my foster family and they love having me in their home. I am such a cuddle bug; I love any attention I can get. I am working on my house training and have only had one accident in the house so far, I sit quietly by the door to try and let them know I need to go outside. My foster parents are always telling me how well behaved I am. I love to sit for treats! I sleep throughout the night and rarely make a peep. I am doing well at crate training and I normally just curl up on my bed and have a sleep.
My foster family has two dogs and a cat and I really love them all. I’m fine with playing by myself but sometimes I like to run around with the big guys or go hangout with the cat. I haven’t been around kids yet but I’m sure I would like them; As long as they want to give me lots of hugs and kisses and maybe throw my ball!
If you think I might be the perfect addition to your family please apply to adopt me today! I can’t wait to meet you!

Jake and Laura

Laura called me and asked if I would take some shots of her lovely Jake. At the time, Jake was very ill, but you would never have known it on this day! He may have been a bit tired, but he posed and played like a champ, and as a result, we got some fantastic shots. Jake has since passed and he is so missed by Laura and her parents.  I am thankful I got to know him a bit and spend a morning in his company.  He had a lovely, gentle soul and I'm glad these memories are captured.
Meet Jake!

AARCS - Juno

 

Meet Juno! This little sweetie was found under a shed with no mom or siblings. Juno was roughly 5 weeks when she was rescued and only weighed 3 lbs. She was very dehydrated for the first couple weeks but has since turned into a happy healthy pup.
Her markings are so cute and she steals everyone’s attention when she enters a room. She still thinks hands and feet are chew toys but with a little bit of time and work she will grow out of it. We have started to house train Juno but she is a work in progress. She will go to the bathroom outside but hasn’t figured out to let you know that she needs to go out. She is only an 8 week old puppy so this will take a little time. Juno is going to be a fast learner though she already knows how to sit. She is very food motivated…when its dinner time she can barely sit still.
Juno lives with two other dogs and a cat. She gets along great with everyone…although I think the cat is her favorite. She loves to follow you around the house and even does the stairs (if you saw her size you would see why this is amazing). Her favorite activity is tug and she loves stuffed animals that are way too big for her. When she runs she does more of a bounce and it is the cutest thing ever.

If you think she might be the perfect pup for you please fill out the adoption form. I know she can’t wait to meet you!

You can find her on the A.A.R.C.S. site here.
