The Best of August

August has been a month of highs and lows. We found out that the gorgeous Zach from Saffron on the Hill has an aggressive tumour that cannot be cured, which is devastating news. And on Friday we got the horrible news that darling Arnold had passed away suddenly. His owners are grieving very hard for him, and my heart is so sad for their loss.

There has also been happiness this month. Our foster kittens both found great homes, with Mr Moo (now called Albie) going to live with a new big sister (also called Moo!) and Justin B staying right here with us and his new best friend Harry. As you can see they are the best of friends and adore each other.

This month I also had the pleasure of photographing Otis, a seventeen year old mini Foxie who is such a character. Apparently he likes nothing more than to run away to the cat shelter down the road and snuggle in front of the heater with the cats.

Adorable little Paddington arrived at Saffron on the Hill and was promptly snapped up by a lovely new family who will spoil him rotten

 

A bit of rain doesn’t slow this little bundle of energy down

The rest of my August was spent working on my tax return (boo!) and taking time off to visit family back in New Zealand. September is going to be a very busy month, with some really exciting shoots coming up. I’m currently taking bookings for October, email me today to secure a spot.

Remember Oliver? Well he’s all grown up!

The Boys

This weekends marks the end of my quiet season. Starting from the first of September I’ll be back into the swing of things, with sessions booked most weekends. Until then I’m enjoying the last of my quiet days with a trip along Great Ocean Road, as well as spending as much time as possible with these two, my gorgeous boys Harry and Justin.

And last but not least, Saturday marks my four year anniversary with my number one guy Jeremy. He is quite simply the best person I know and I’m so lucky to have him

Have an amazing weekend!

Behind the scenes

I thought I’d share these out-takes from my Saffron on the Hill calendar shoot. Granny Giggles had us in fits of laughter as we tried to get the perfect shot. Karen stood behind me with treats while my faithful assistant Jeremy held her little bunny ears up and jumped out of the way just before I took the shot. She was definitely a grumpy girl by the end of it all, but all was forgiven with a Schmacko.

I’m starting to think ahead to Christmas fundraising ideas – I think she’d look quite fetching as a Christmas elf, don’t you?

TREATS??

 

Floppy ears

Our new family member

If you follow me on Facebook you will know about our two foster kittens, Justin B and Mr Moo. These two gorgeous boys had been passed along from foster home to foster home before arriving with us. I pretty much fell in love right immediately, they leapt out of their carrier and made themselves at home straight away. Harry was a little wimp about the situation and spent the first two days hissing and looking concerned, before suddenly realising that the kittens would play with him, and he promptly fell in love.

Initially we thought we’d have to rehome them together as they had been together since they were babies. Over time Justin and Harry started to form a very close bond (a little too close at times, with Harry getting a bit amorous, despite being fixed). Inquiries came in thick and fast for Mr Moo, but none for Justin – apparently tabbies are seen as “plain”. Mr Moo was becoming more independent, and when our friends offered to adopt him we felt like it was a match made in heaven. Mr Moo has a new sister (also called Moo!) and Justin is going to stay with us and his boyfriend Harry. He’s an absolute darling and we are completely in love with him.

A disclaimer – Justin B wasn’t named by us, but we can’t think of a better name for him! Any suggestions are welcome!

Nothing “plain” about this boy
