Thor – The Gentle Giant

Since I started my business, I’ve come across so many amazing pet owners. Pet owners who treat their pet as a member of the family. People who don’t give up on their pet just because of a couple of health issues – people who actually do the hard work and turn a sad rescue dog into a sweet and loyal pet. Often, it’s so easy to turn our back on a challenge, and so many people will overlook a dog with health or behavior issues, not realising that often all that is required is some love, discipline, and understanding. It always warms my heart and I feel so honoured to meet these people – it always restores my faith in the world.

Beautiful Thor had a tough start to life – he went through two other homes before finally being adopted by his family. Fiercely protective and loyal, Thor is your typical big bouncy Ridgeback Cross – but despite his size, he loved nothing more than climbing up on the couch for cuddles with his mum and dad . Every time he looks at them you can see the love pouring out of his eyes. He also had this amazing range of expressions – from goofy smile, to your typical “treat” face, to a serious and sultry look. Thor suffers from arthritis, but due to the amazing care he gets, he lives a happy, full, and active life.

Thank you so much to Toni and Craig for choosing me to photograph your boy – you guys have done an amazing job with him and he couldn’t be in a more loving and wonderful household.

Lorenzo

Lorenzo had waited so patiently for his forever home at the shelter. A sweet, happy, and lovely natured boy, he must have been so confused as to why he was constantly passed up for younger, cuter, less “scary” looking dogs. Nine months after he arrived, he was finally taken to his forever home, where he is the most wonderfully loved and adored dog. He goes on huge walks every day with his mum, as many cuddles as he wants, and he loves to sit on visitor’s laps like a big baby. Lorenzo showed me that more than anything, if you are patient, be yourself, and kind to others, good things will eventually happen – and you too will get your happy ending.

Diesel

The heat in Melbourne is still pretty brutal – 36 today, 42 tomorrow, with another hot week after that. This means that shoots start early, and I’ve been loving getting up when it’s still cool. Today’s shoot with Diesel was in perfect conditions, and he was just soooo photogenic – I can’t wait to share his session with you all!
