September was a huge month, and it seemed to last a long time – bring on summer I say! The theme for September seemed to be puppies, which is very spring appropriate don’t you think?

I started the month off with a shoot with Oliver – I had photographed him almost exactly a year ago when he was a tiny pup. Now he’s big and strong, but still just as sweet.

I attended the Oscar’s Law rally, which was a fantastic day – being surrounded by thousands of people and dogs, all united for the same cause.

I had a gorgeous shoot out in rural Victoria with the gorgeous little pup Stella and her big brother Boots – this pair were so sweet and charming

And then another puppy of a completely different kind – Cinder the stunning Shiba Inu pup was a joy to work with

We also had a bit of a fashion show at Saffron on the Hill to show off their new Oscar’s Law collars, leads and harnesses

Gus didn’t fancy modelling much so he just lay down and chewed on his toys

I also updated my packaging – nothing like new stationery to make this girl happy

 These two are always the highlight of my day

Tragically darling  Zach from Saffron on the Hill passed away this month. He went safe and warm in his mother’s arms, and his presence is so notably absent on our visits to the Hill. He was so loved and we will never forget him.
