I have taken my fair share of portraits of cutie pies in the past, but this is the first 'furry' variety I have had the pleasure of including in my sessions. Meet Truffles... a sweet, docile Schnauzer who loves her dried chicken bits! Such a good looking gal who just celebrated her 16th birthday... quite the milestone for a little doggy. Her doting owners, Donna & Mike, are equally charming and well put together, don't you agree? 

I had the opportunity of visiting this smashing trio a few weeks ago. We chatted about children, work, schooling and a great number of things in between as I set to work setting up  my studio lights and backdrops. Can you believe that this is the first portrait that Mike and Donna have of themselves since their wedding day? What an honour to capture their lively spirit and fun-loving ways!

Sweet! When I asked about their relationship and probed for some insight into sustaining a loving relationship, Mike was quick to say, "Always agree with your wife." Well played Mike, well played!

Truffles was up for some posing so I was able to get her 'sitting pretty' for the camera... with the help of some treats from Donna!

I am so thrilled to have spent time with these people (really, Truffles counts as one!). I look forward to getting their wall portrait and prints to them so they can relive and enjoy these moments in time.

Thank you Donna, Mike and Truffles for trusting me to capture these sweet memories.

Enjoy the view,
