A romantic stroll along the beach

Amy, Steve and their dog Shadow often take a gentle stroll along the beach after dinner.

Shadow is like a wind-up toy. Throw the ball, and he will keep bringing it back.

With Shadow occupied, it gave me a chance to capture a few moments between Amy and Steve.

Even dogs like bubbles

Recently I had the pleasure of photographing Kovu, a Belgian Shepherd. Kovu is a therapy dog, who goes around to hospitals and nursing homes sharing the joy of animal companionship with patients in these facilities. Kovu and his owner Simone conduct this work through Lead The Way in association with Alpha Canine Professionals (http://ltw.com.au/intensive-therapy-dog-handlers).

We took a few promotional shots and family portraits. Then.... the bubbles came out! Everyone including Kovu and myself were chasing bubbles around the background trying to catch them. Even dogs like bubbles!

Simone and Orry, I hope you enjoy your photos!

A Day in the Life of a Horse Rider

I recently had the pleasure of photographing Jess and Red. I gained a great insight into the life of a horse owner. The bond between owner and animal is truly special, only likened to the bond between a mother and child. I hope I did the relationship justice with these images. It was a great day until Red was tired of the paparazzi and bolted home, leaving Jess standing in the middle of the paddock with nothing else to do but laugh.  

 

Number 1 rule of a Horse paddock, CLOSE THE GATE! You learn something new every day.
