My favourite aspect of this project is having the luxury of getting to experiment with new styles and techniques. I've had coloured gels for ages and I finally made time to play with them. I love the result. I've been getting a bit woo recently with meditation and...

How am I only sharing these now? I'm a bit behind with blogging this project but not behind with the project itself. I can't wait to share the finished book with you all, it's been a real labour of love. I taught Butters to bow - which wasn't hard because he does it...

I started the month with photos in the studio. I was playing with some different lighting so the youngest got to play model for me again. I've now learned that I can't use food rewards unless I want to spend hours in Photoshop afterwards cleaning up the drool froth...

When you share your home with the dog world's answer to Zoolander and Hansel it stands to reason that you're going to use their handsome faces to sell your services. My boys are very used to posing for me and they really brought their A-game to my studio that day....

July was a hectic month of studio setting up and getting ready for the Dog Lovers Show but I'm so far into this project now I'm determined to keep going! Even if I have to cheat occasionally and do two shots on the same day. I always thought that cocking their leg...

I got up very early to get this photo of Butters. Generally his obedience is pretty good but he's basically still a puppy and loves testing the boundaries. This rock wasn’t far from a walking track where people had their dogs off lead and Butters had major FOMO (his...

You guys, it's nearly halfway through the year and I'm still on track with my 52 weeks project - this is my best attempt ever! Maybe having completed two books since I last tried to do a 52 weeks project has made me appreciate how satisfying it is to actually finish...

I shared one of April's 52 weeks photos in my last post so I only have three official pics in this round up. Butters is nearly 7mos now and still no sign of him stopping growing. He's overtaken Bruno but they're still the best of friends. He actually plays heaps with...

Butters is the sixth dog we’ve adopted but he’s the first puppy. We’ve fostered lots but they generally leave here by 12 weeks. Raising one that you plan to live with for the rest of it’s life is a whole different beast! Last week on my Facebook page I did a post a...

It's high time I spread some more Peanut Butter on my blog (messy, but yum!). It's week eight and I haven't missed a 52 weeks photo yet so I'm pretty smug about that. I have done a couple of lame last minute ones and the pain of having to see them included in the...
