After weeks of hard work at my art studio and the open atelier days, I am 200% ready for summer and there is no time to waste (because before we know it, it's autumn again)! We're having some very playful weather with lots of variety, but...
There might be different reasons why you're looking into life vests for dogs, and in this blog, I'll be sharing my personal experience, how and why I use life vests for my dogs. I bought the first vest many years ago when we went paddling for...
We might not be morning animals, but in summer, we do get up early for a refreshing jump in the lake. Although, as you might see, for Oona it's sometimes too early. I threw her ball in the water and she just stood there jawning...

Are you also getting ready for a sun-sational season? We sure are! Winter doesn't give up easily here up north and even last week we were grilling burgers in the woods with fleece and wool sweaters! But things change in a blink of an eye. Suddenly...
1. Don't worry about leashes/ collars or harnasses. One thing that I find extremely annoying when reading dog photography discussions, is people whining about collars or harnesses. Sure, I think it's great to have a beautiful portrait of your dog all-natural and without any distractions to...
