Autumn Portraits

It's that time of year again, contact me today to book an autumn portrait session. This is personally my favourite time of year, especially for outdoor portraits. For your family, or just for yourself. There are many great outdoor spaces in Winnipeg, and I will travel to your favourite one to use natures wonderful colours as a backdrop for your portraits. They make a fantastic Christmas card photo! I'd also like to remind my readers that I do pet portraits too!

Charlee Update

Charlee is my first German Shepherd. Since day one, I have been trying to expose her to as much of the world as I can, to help her be a well adjusted, confident dog. I have been teaching her basic commands, and behaviours. I intend to eventually teach her scent discrimination and eventually tracking. We are both learning as we go, but I am really happy with how it has been going so far. She has the best temperament I have ever seen first hand in a dog ever.

Does anyone know if there are volunteer organisations that could use a dog and handler in Manitoba? I am sure I could learn a lot more, a lot faster with a little bit of experienced guidance.

If anyone has any advice for me, drop me a line, or leave a comment.

This is a portrait of Charlee during her first trip to the lake. She had a blast, and didn't destroy too much stuff. Everyone needs a hobby I guess. She learned to swim, and collected many wood ticks to bring home.

I thought today that our pup was finally starting to calm down. She let me get close enough, and gave me enough time to get a decent composition for this photograph this morning. She set me straight tonight though.  She went nuts for no apparent reason barking for a good solid 10 minutes outside. When we let her in, she ran from one window to the other bouncing off people, and couches alike. Back and forth, back and forth. She is the best dog in the world, but she's loopy sometimes.

Charlee

Well, it has been a very busy couple of months, but Charlee is doing quite well, and having a blast.  She has learned many commands, but she still decides what ones she wants to obey, and which ones she will ignore.  We have had a few visits to the dog park now, and she seems to be getting socialized quite well.  I look forward to her next encounter with my brother's dog.  The last time they met, she spent most of her time cowering under the bushes.

Dog Sled Races

We had quite a treat last weekend in Winnipeg.  The annual Festival du Voyageur Sled Dog Classic was in town and held races right on the Red River.  There were quite a few teams participating in the event, from the younger amateurs right up to the 8 dog Pros.  The excitement of the crowds of onlookers was surpassed only by the excitment and noise of the dogs themselves.  It was a great time.  Photographically very challenging.  The cold, the speed, the fans.  But we did get some good shots.  This is the first time I have shot at this event, and you can bet it won't be the last.
