Handsom Jackson - Pet Portrait Photography in Milton

I met Jackson and his owner on a day that the Weather Network was calling for rain. With clouds in the sky and fingers crossed, I drove out to meet up with them on a beautiful apartment grounds for a late morning photo shoot.

Apparently crossing your fingers really does work. The clouds disappeared and the sun showed up making for a gorgeous morning.

Jackson is probably the biggest lab I've ever met, but as most labs go, a true softy with a friendly, happy-go-lucky attitude.

Here are a few images from the shoot.

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!

Lightroom Editing - Milton Ontario Photographer

Hmm, what more can I say than Lightroom offers some awesome options for "finishing" photos. Though it can be finicky, with patience and persistence, you can achieve some wonderful effects with this program.

I am new to this software, but am trying to utilize it for "developing" many of my photos and am enjoying experimenting with this visually creative program.



If you are looking for a portrait photographer, why not check out www.chickadoo.com. Great rates, friendly service, and though specializing in canines, I am open to all other types of portrait photography.

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.

If you are interested in having a photo session for your dog, please contact me at info@chickadoo.com or visit my website at www.chickadoo.com for details.

Capture a Moment by Photographer Julie Deans

Capturing a moment if what my photography is all about. Capturing a moment and creating a memory that will last a life time. I achieve this through the most natural way possible. Though I do have some studio equipment, my preference is to work with natural light, in natural conditions, taking a more photo-journalistic approach, thus avoiding the stiff, forced smiles and poses in some studio shots, there for, enhancing the subjects true spirit and personality.


Though I do an abundance of canine portraits, I also offer my services for other pets (from horses to chameleons) as well as families, couples, children, individuals and even garden photography.


Why not book a session, capture your moment in time, and create a lasting memory for your family for years to come.
