Three Dog Day - Pet Photographer in Milton

I'm a sucker for challenges, and three dogs in one shoot outside is certainly a challenge!

Another excellent Lowville session, with great, sunny weather and a fun crew. Sometimes it's hard to get three dogs to stay in one place when there is so many distractions around, but we managed it quite nicely.

These are just a few of the results from the shoot.

If you would like to book a session for your dog, or dogs, please contact info@chickadoo.com - we love working with the canines, and where others are hesitant with shooting pets, we embrace all the furry, feathered and scaled creatures!!

Crawford Lake - Photographer in Milton Ontario

I usually make it out to all of the Halton Conservation Areas during the fall to capture the beauty of this season. Though the colours aren't quite in full splendor yet, I decided I would start at Crawford Lake yesterday. The wind was cool, the air was crisp, but the sun was warm and inviting.

This is a fantastic time of year for outdoor portraits as the colours add so much more to all of the images.

Even with dog and baby in tow, I was able to capture some decent shots (well, dog is always easy, it's hungry baby that makes photography a little more challenging).


We are booking for fall/winter portrait sessions, so gather the family or pets and come on out and take part in this beautiful season.

Photo Shoot with Moxi - Pet Photographer in Milton

It was a relief when the weather turned better and the rain stopped being so relentless. After a cancellation due to rain, and a reschedule, I was finally able to shoot the beautiful Moxi, a spunky little Jack Russell/Pug cross.

Those eyes tell all!

Black and White Days - Photographer in Milton Ontario

Sometimes I prefer my subjects in black and white. There is something about the lack of colour, the higher contrast and the feeling that you get from a black and white image.

I suppose, by far, it is my favorite type of photo. Black and white enables you to remove blemishes without retouching, adds depth and a sense boldness, yet softens the image.

There are many different "styles" of black and white photography, and I like to experiment per the subject to see what works out best, what really brings out the individual in the image.


And, you don't need a super expensive camera to make black and white look good. The above photos were taken with my Canon digital SLR, used in all my photo shoots, however, the below self portrait was taken with my older point and shoot, Kodak Easyshare camera (the door jam coming out of my face, well, that leaves a bit to be desired on composition, but over all, the shot works, especially for a hand held selfie).

Antiqued! Milton Ontario Canine Photography

Sometimes the sun is perfectly positioned ... I wish all days could be like that.

Sometimes it's just a matter of capturing the perfect moment, that natural, casual shot which displays up the subject perfectly.

Sometimes it's a reflective pose, pondering the day with that far away look, or in the above case, pondering the child on the floor.

What ever the case, I really enjoy "antiquing" my subjects. It brings a different feel to the image, one of almost serenity, that tells a story about the individual. It can be done in many different ways, and each photographer will have his or her own preference. Mine lies in the tonal range of yellow to brown, with colour still hinted at to create a very artistic piece.
