maine dog photographer: dances with dogs!

I meet people all the time who tell me that they are convinced that I have one of the best jobs in the world and I do not hesitate for one second to tell them that I completely agree- I love what I do.

This week I was able to meet with another small business owner who is also passionate about her work.  Julie Bernier truly loves what she does.  It’s always amazing for me to be able to capture that kind of love.

As the owner of Dances with Dogs, Maine’s only daycare for puppies and small-breed dogs, Julie spends her days working with the cutest dogs – helping to properly socialize them.  Calling on her background experience and Master’s degree in social work, Julie enforces appropriate learned behaviors in dogs of similar sizes through their interaction with one another.

And, most importantly, the dogs look up to and love their pack leader!

Julie has two of her own labs, Tonya & Casco.

Inviting me over to photograph cute puppies playing in the snow wasn’t enough for Julie!  She sent me home with the some of the best goodies- a dog leash holder and a tug toy that she makes and sells herself!  And, don’t you just love her logo for Dances with Dogs?  (Julie is quite the yogi too!)

I am convinced that if a puppy ever comes into our lives again, he or she will be definitely be applying for a spot at Dances with Dogs!  If only Orvis was 50 pounds lighter…

Thank you, Julie, for having me over!  I’m so excited for our future collaborative projects!
