Enzo and Mila the French Bulldogs

When I first decided I was going to take my pet photography more seriously I asked some friends if I could photograph their dogs for my portfolio. The first dogs I chose were Enzo and Mila the Frenchies. I unintentionally picked some very easy subjects to photograph....

My leather creations so far

Towards the end of 2008 I started learning leather craft. I found the process very frustrating at first as there were no people who specialised in dog tack nearby who could teach me. I took some classes to learn the basics, but then I bought all my own equipment and...

Dobermann Puppies

Ivan the Terrible

Ivan is our 10.5 year old Siberian Husky. He used to belong to my cousin, but he asked us to take him when he was 7. He's a pretty good dog. He keeps to himself and doesn't cause any trouble. You only really see him if he hears a leash coming off it's hook or if...

My very first blog!

Welcome to my sooper dooper streamlined blog for all my photography and leather pursuits. My passion for both is inspired by my three brindle boofheads and the snow dog! I grew up always owning cats. The last dog we had ran away when I was very young ... so my parents...
