leaving 2022 with a bulldog bang!

Three bulldogs in my studio at once? Sure! What's the worst that could happen?!
We die from combined cuteness overload? 
ok, I'm in.

Well, no humans died, but Lemon, Ruby and Tito worked their cute magic that's for sure. 

This intrepid trio is currently in the care of the Victoria Bulldog Society. 

• Lemon (brindle) is about 7 years old and currently reviewing adoption applications. She's got quite a licker on her, so you'd best be ok with kisses. And oh yeah, she loooooves belly rubs.
• Ruby (black/tricolour) is 11 1/2 and almost fell asleep with her head in her hands while I rubbed her head and is a GEM! Each time I would start to crouch to get to her level to photograph, she'd come over to me for a pet and then maybe trundle back to where she needed to be.
• Tito (white/brown) is 4 and is Mr Cool. He's a big, smart, sweet and gentle guy with polka dots on one side and Rorschach test-looking spot on the other in case you want to do a little psychoanalyzing with your friends! But ultimately, Tito will is a bestie just follows you around and loves to be loved. 

Photographing adoptable dogs for me isn't just about an adoption profile photo. To be honest, I'm not sure how much weight they carry because I've known dogs to be adopted from some pretty sketchy photos. Whatever floats your boat and gets the dog adopted, I say. But as the person behind the camera who's thinking about how photography can help adoptable pets, I want these photos to work for the dog... for the rescue... for advocacy, for fundraising, or to just celebrate the dog.

So, to end 2022, I went out with a big, bundle of bulldogs who are loved and getting the care they need and deserve.

Thank you to all the people I've met who are loving their animals and helping to make this world a safe and loving place for everyone.
