Happy Tails Pet Photography

Any yellow lovers out there? I've been really into the colour yellow lately - I even painted my front door yellow and it's so fun and cheerful! So when I saw these little yellow flowers at a recent photo session with pup Daisy, I had to incorporate them - in this case as a little pop of foreground interest. 🌼

Have you ever wanted just a few professional images of your pet? Do you have a senior with limited mobility or stamina? Are you looking to update your pet's photos or do you want to try out a pet photography session to see what it's like?

INTRODUCING: Pocket sessions! Pocket sessions are shorter in length with a smaller gallery of images. They will take place weeknights only, on certain dates at a predetermined location in the Burlington area. I'll be offering them on a very limited basis. The first pocket session dates will be in May! Because there are only a few slots available, I'll be sharing all the details and opening them up to my newsletters subscribers first this weekend. To get on my newsletter list and be the first to know, sign up at happytailspetphotography.ca/newsletter-form

KoKo, looking like a little fox (she's actually a Shiba Inu) and fitting right in with her environment. 🦊 But when you're actually in suburbia, you have to be creative and look for "woodsy" spots. This was taken on a small strip of land, left to grow naturally, next to a large library/community centre.

I first photographed Luc and his sister Maggie a few years ago. Luc is now 14 and has progressive heart disease. His family wanted more photos of him while he's still spry and feeling good. I'm always so honoured when clients come back to me, and it's so special to see their pets at different points in their lives. 🥰

Sweet senior Bella at her fall session ... in February! What a wierd month it's been for weather - it felt like fall, then there was a sprinkle of winter and today it was raining like spring. Mother nature is keeping me on my toes!

I hope everyone had a restful holiday season and a happy new year! I've been working hard behind the scenes to update my website - it was a big job and I essentially started from scratch. But I'm so proud because I did it myself and learned so much along the way about website design and building. I also tweaked my branding and changed my pricing structure to provide more value and flexibility for you! I think this year will be a pivotal year for me and my business, and I'm hoping these changes will get more furry faces in front of my camera. Please pop over to my website at www.happytailspetphotography.ca and take a look around. And finally, thank you to everyone who has supported and cheered me on over the past few years!

Pawrents are so embarrassing. 😘

"Life isn't a matter of milestones, but of moments." I love this quote and it's so applicable to our pets. Time goes by so quickly and there aren't as many reminders (or milestones) to photograph our pets. But there are so many moments to capture and hold onto, like how Lily always crosses her paws when lying down. I'm booking spring sessions - let's capture some moments of your pet to remember!

I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers … and dogs. 🍁

Do you want to know what time of year I love most for pet photography? I have feelings about this, and I shared them in a blog post!

September is often overlooked in favour of autumn months, but here's why I think it's the best time of year for pet photos.

I love finding out the word(s) that your dog responds to and results in head tilts like this! Sometimes it’s obvious (“treat”) and other times it’s more obscure. For Angus, “grandma” really piqued his interest! What’s your dog’s favourite word?

Jasper is almost 14, and although he’s experiencing age-related health issues, he still loves a good walk on the trails, just at a slower pace. Jasper doesn’t know this though - although his mobility is declining, in Jasper’s mind, he’s fine, so we had to slow him down occasionally! His mom is a vet tech and she’s keenly aware of his quality of life and making sure he’s comfortable. She also knows that she’ll have to say goodbye to him soon. I was honoured to spend a lovely afternoon making some memories of Jasper for his family. ❤️

Our dogs’ lives are short, so love them hard. ❤️

I would never play favourites and say that one dog is cuter than all the others, so I’ll just say that Basil is one of the cutest dogs I’ve met! Can you guess his breed?

Try not to smile after looking at Luc’s smile - impossible! I’ve been busy with sessions and editing (hello carpal tunnel), but it’s OK when my screen is filled with faces like this 🥰.

The sun sets on another Monday …they say the first five days after the weekend are the hardest, so one down! Still lots of time to get out and vote!

Hope everyone is staying cool out there! Tofu’s session was at sunrise to avoid the heat (it was nothing like the temps these days!). I’m not a morning person, but I’ll get up for your pet! 😀 🌅

The final image vs. how it really goes. 😂 Dogs will be dogs (as they should be!) but patience and anticipating the moment usually pay off!

How will you save your memories? In a few years from now, will you remember where you saved your digital files on your hard drive? Would you rather search for your images to view them on a screen or easily pick up an album to flip through and enjoy them? It can be hard to find the time to print your photos or design an album. This is part of the service I provide! Each bespoke, flushmount album is ✨custom designed ✨Canadian made ✨ printed on professional-grade photographic paper ✨ wrapped in an eco leather cover personalized with your pet’s name. Don’t just store your photos - enjoy them!

Stick chewing time is included in every photography session! 😄 I’m booking June dates and beyond - email me or visit www.happytailspetphotography.ca to reserve yours!

Since I’m unable to hold client sessions until our current lockdown ends, you may be seeing more of this face! I’ve never had very cooperative dogs of my own when it comes to photos - I think my own pets are my most difficult clients! But with some coaxing Maggie does pretty good, especially considering that she’s entering her “teenage” years in dog years (she’s one and a half). I’ll also be digging into the archives and posting when I feel inspired - no hard and fast rules, since pressure to post on the regular isn’t something I need to add to life right now. Hope you’re all hanging in there!
