Best in Show - Dog Show for Mutts - Delta Ocean Point Resport and BCSPCA | Pet Photographer Victoria BC

I love dogs, of all shapes and sizes.  For anyone that knows me, I have been to my share of dog shows.  I have shown my own dog Messina, but this was a bit different.  The 3rd annual Best in Show - The Dog Show for Mutts was held on Saturday, June 2nd at the Delta Victoria Ocean Point Resort and Spa and I had the honor of covering the event.  All funds raised were donated to the BCSPCA.  Dogs competed in such categories as Best Dressed, Looks Most Like Owner, Best Trick, Most Distinguishing Feature, Most Original Hair, Cutest Male Dog and Cutest Female Dog.  The event raised over $4300 and here are some of my favourite shots from the day!  If you are the owners of the dogs in ANY of these pictures, please feel free to download the images or share with friends and family (via facebook etc).  Just please don't remove the watermark.  

Also, remember that for the month of June, all pet fees at the Delta will be donated to the BCSPCA, so if you are looking for a great place to stay with your dog this month, you know where to go.

Arriving in Style!!

1 blue eye, 1 brown eye, and one pirate patch!

Taz, donations helped him get the medical treatment he needs.

Love.....

Never too big.

The esteemed judges.

The catch........

A dog that could jump rope with their owner....now THAT is a trick!!!

I hope to see you all next year!

Summer is Coming - Summer is Coming | Victoria, BC Portrait Photographer

I am tired of the cold and wet weather, but I think (hope) that is finally starting to turn around, right??  I love summer, days at the beach, walking the dog, and just hanging out in the sun.  I love the evenings the most, the light is spectacular at lots of locations around Victoria.  Some of my favourite spots in the summer?  Willows Beach, MacAuley Point, Esquimalt Lagoon, anywhere in the inner harbour, Dallas Road, Elk Lake fields, oh sooo many great places.  I am especially loving Elk Lake fields right now, full of wild flowers in purple, yellow and white.

Angels Under Our Wings Cocker Spaniel Rescue | Pet Photographer Victoria, BC

The annual Cocker Walk Fundraiser and Reunion was held on Sunday, May 6th and I was asked to cover the event.  The group has a mission that states, "Dedicated to the rescue and placement of abused, discarded and abandoned Cocker Spaniels, taking them under our wings, taking them out of harm's way and helping them find their way home."


Check out their website here!


It was a lovely and sunny day at Elk Lake with raffles and silent auction and most importantly, lots of visiting between dogs and cocker owners.

Mother's Day Promotion | Child and Family Photographer Victoria, BC

I have been a bad blogger :( but at least when I check in it is for a great reason.  If you are a Mom, it is a great gift for yourself to yourself.  If you are a Dad, what a great gift for your wife, she will love some new images of herself with the children.  She is probably behind the camera instead of in front of it.  Or maybe you want to give a special Mother's Day gift to your own Mom, or sister, or Grandma.  Really a perfect purchase for anyone who has special children in their life.  Check out the Mother's Day Special below.
