Photo Session Update

We had an extra spe­cial vis­i­tor in the stu­dio this week. Any­body who came into the stu­dio last Autumn prob­a­bly heard me talk about a Lab who I had fallen in love with. He had spent all his life from about 6 weeks old to 14 months in the RSPCA shel­ter at Fair­field, and at the time he urgently needed a fos­ter home, some­one who could spend a lot of time with him to train him, exer­cise him, love him, and let him find his poten­tial as the won­der­ful dog all who met him agreed he could be. After a lot of soul search­ing, Beck and I decided that we just couldn’t do this, we didn’t have the time he would need and it wouldn’t be fair on our old girls. But I couldn’t get him out of my head.

Until Dave and Jenny came into his life. They have taken a very bois­ter­ous, ener­getic and destruc­tive dog (Think of Mar­ley from the film ‘Mar­ley and Me’ but with an extra gear) and turned him into such a beau­ti­ful boy. He still has that same sparkle in his eye, the same win­ning smile, but now he looks to them for lead­er­ship and is gen­tle and obe­di­ent. Dave and Jenny you have done a WONDERFUL job. I wish the ses­sion could have lasted all day, I hope I have done him justice.

Aside from Noah, its been another busy week. Thanks to all the Green­cross staff at City Road, Been­leigh for your hos­pi­tal­ity (I hope you like your pho­tos!!) and to all who vis­ited us this week. As promised here is a sneak pre­view… do let us know what you think!!

    Noah looks amaz­ing — he is such a spe­cial dog and his new own­ers have done such an amaz­ing job. Great photos!

    Hey there Ken and Beck,
    Once again, such lovely photos.

    The pho­tos of the lab…three of them look so sad. But then he’s laugh­ing in one of them and that made me smile. Per­haps that is indica­tive of his tale. Thank you for shar­ing his story. He is a beau­ti­ful dog.

    Once again, all the other pic­tures are delight­ful. There is so much per­son­al­ity in the images that you cap­ture. I don’t know these ani­mals, but I feel I know then through your photos.

    My favourite this week is the image of the man (I pre­sume from your com­men­tary that he’s a Green­cross Vet at Been­leigh) who is ten­derly cud­dling his dog. His focus is on his dog who is hap­pily look­ing at the cam­era and show­ing how won­der­ful it feels to be so loved. Now that is cap­tur­ing the image of love. It is beautiful.

    Thank you for shar­ing that.
