When it comes to setting up playdates for your furry friend, there are a few important things to consider to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone involved. Here’s our Pawsitively Playful: A Guide to Safe Doggy Playdates.

I spent some time with my tribe over the Christmas holidays in my home state of South Australia and it was so good for my soul. I sit here with happy tears in my eyes as I remember that precious time with family and friends. Although I love my new home and it’s stunning surroundings more than SA, I truly do miss being around my people.

While there, I did 5 shoots of some incredible dogs.

I headed out with my husband Leon and my trusty sidekick and model, Murray to scout for locations to shoot in and around Denmark. We started at the Doggy Park, and we were lucky enough to run into a lady named Robin, who is second Mum to the lovely Percy. Percy and Murray got along from the start and had a great time with each other.

You don’t see many of these dogs around do you? Once referred to and commonly known as The Brittany Spaniel, I was recently informed they are actually not spaniels and these days are just referred to as a Brittany. Apparently they dropped the spaniel part from their name right back in 1982!

The Brittany was bred primarily for bird hunting.

Archie came to me from a model call. He loves Agility at the local Albany All Breeds Dog Club.

This was a fantastic shoot. We went to local hotspot, the stunning Wind Farm in Albany, WA. The day was a stunning day, as the winter seems to want to continue to bleed into spring, nice days are still few and far between! I woke up so excited about the sunshine. All day, it was sunny and warm and the clouds were both puffy and whispy, making for such an awesome sky.
