Oceanside Paws and Pose

Feeling down about the gloomy weather? Overcast is actually my personal FAV to work in! I love capturing emotion in photos with your animals. The overcast clouds create rich colours and beautiful diffused light on skin. Learn more about sessions and pricing on my website www.oceansidepawsandpose.com Whenever you can share my contact through social media or by word of mouth I truly appreciate it 🫶🙌

So often I’ll run into people who tell me, “ I wish I could have dog photos, but my pups aren’t well-behaved!” Note: these pups were angles… but the owner still had to use leashes and stand close by. As you can see from this photo, anything is possible when you hire a professional that has worked with dogs for many years and has specialized their craft in editing. I take such pride in my ability to edit. I have invested all much time and money into perfecting my ability to create beautiful images. It’s an ongoing learning process if I’m honest! Whether your pups are on leashes, need to be by your side, or they struggle with behavior, I have seen it all, worked with it all, and I can guarantee beautiful images, regardless of the type of pup personality you bring to the session ❤️ I have still do this day, never met an animal I couldn’t photograph! Trust the process! **Although the video makes it look as easy as one click I applied many different editing techniques to get the image this way. This is just a before and after example 😊**

I haven’t started to edit this session yet, but when I uploaded the images and saw this as the first one 😍🫶 wow. There is such an important lesson in this photo. This beautiful pup wanted their ball. It is their comfort, and their special gift. So, of course we embraced it! I hear these comments all the time: “I would love to book a session but…” “My dog would never sit still!” “My dog won’t pose for photos!” “My dog doesn’t like other people or dogs!” “My dog is too dark, fluffy, blind, deaf etc…. “ The BEST clients I have ever booked have been the ones who show up as who they are, wanting to capture authentic, genuine moments with their dog. That means, letting go of expectations and allowing your dog, yourself and your family to just be who you are. No stress or fuss. Just show up ❤️ I have never met a dog I couldn’t photograph, and I stand by the promise that I can and I will, every time - guaranteed.

All Friday fall mini sessions at the farm edited and off to their beautiful families 🎃🌾🍁

Celebration of Life Session

Every time I book one of these extremely important Celebration of Life sessions I know I need to get mentally, emotionally prepared. As hard as they are, it never fails that I meet the most amazing people, and the most incredible dogs ❤️ tonight was no exception. I’ll never stop reiterating that it is truly such an honour to be chosen to work with you. It’s trust I don’t take for granted ❤️ I’ll be thinking about this session for years to come.

Fall Minis at the Farm

Had a few amazing families pop by the farm yesterday! So fun to edit and share these galleries ❤️🥰

Reflecting on the past few months, I feel so grateful that I reopened the business and received so much support and love from my clients. Every kind message, every thank you and the encouraging words have kept me motivated to continue doing what I love ❤️ I couldn’t fit all of my sessions into one reel, so for the ones that didn’t make it into this one, I’ll get you in the next 🥰

Sometimes you’re just meant to meet certain people ❤️ tonight was nothing less than magical 🙌

Summer has come and gone. It was a huge leap of faith for me to decide to buy all new gear, and revisit my passion for dog photography. I was nervous about whether I could gain the trust of new clients, and reconnect with past ones. I worried about making a good impression with all of the new talent out there. I thought maybe I wouldn’t have the gift I once had. This summer, my clients have given me the confidence I needed to keep my passion alive. They’ve taught me so many lessons and gifted me with the kindest encouragement. I couldn’t have asked for a better step back into business. As sad as I am to see summer fade away, I’m so excited to meet more of you and enjoy the beautiful connections that come from this work ❤️ I’ll continue to say it - thank YOU for the trust you give me to capture these moments. It’s such an honour to be a part of your lives 🥹❤️

These kinds of sessions are why I do this type of photography ❤️🥹❤️ I can’t get enough of people and their unique relationship to their dog. Every single session is special, and fun and magical. Can’t wait to edit these 🙌 if you’re observant you’ll notice the leash disappears after I work on these!

When you get home from your session and upload to find these gorgeous images 😍 I am blessed with the most beautiful, wonderful clients ❤️
