camp yellow dog in cape elizabeth!

Dog owners everywhere know there is nothing more special than a place where dogs can run, play and swim with each other until they can no longer move. Camp Yellow Dog is one of those special places! I had the privilege of heading out to Camp Yellow Dog the other night, just down the road in Cape Elizabeth, where I met some fun-loving dogs (yes, most of them were yellow!) and their delightful humans!

Meet the campers!

Tilly is the youngest camper in the group!

Sweet Fenway is a tennis ball kind of guy!

Tucker & Lucas

If you’re a big FetchDog fan, you might have seen Lucas in the catalog! For being as famous as he is, Lucas is quite down to earth though!

Tucker doesn’t let his multi-colored fur stand in his way of having fun with his yellow cousins!

At Camp Yellow Dog there is no designated swimming period. Swim Time is all day long!

Tucker is the camp’s lifeguard!

Camper, Lucas, and Tucker, the lifeguard, demonstrate how to ride in a boat!

Tug of War: a classic camp pastime!

There is so much fun going on at Camp Yellow Dog all the time, the dogs get VERY hungry! Tilly let us know that it was Snack Time!

Surfing lessons commence after snack-time. The dogs learn the basics of the sport on land, and then they transition to surfing in the water!

Like Swim Time, Ball Time is pretty much an all day affair too!

Woodworking 101

And no day at camp is complete without a mud bath!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Poole & Sawyer families! I had a blast documenting life at Camp Yellow Dog and hope to come back very soon! It’s now one of my happy places!

calle & hazel!

When Calle & Hazel’s mom, Allison, e-mailed me about scheduling a session she referred to her two chocolate lab puppies as “scrumptious.” Boy, was I excited to schedule that session! I’m quite positive you will agree with her (and me!) once you’ve seen the photos of these two!

Calle is 100% retriever. While she’s relatively calm for a young lab puppy, Calle LOVES playing, tugging, fetching, swimming, running- you name it!

Hazel has the same appreciation for all things fun & exciting, but she would much rather be given lots of love, preferably in your lap, in the form of belly rubs, ear scratches and kisses.

Thank you, Allison and Emma, for bringing your two “scrumptious” chocolates into the studio! I can think of no better way to spend a morning than laughing at two adorable dogs like Calle & Hazel!

Evan and Keely live in the Willard neighborhood and often walk by the studio with their two dogs, Cassius and King. I was delighted to be able to schedule an impromptu photo shoot with them at Fort Williams last week. Both dogs have their own incredibly unique personalities. I’m surprised I was able to pull myself together to take photographs, because I spent most of the evening giggling and laughing at these two.

Meet Cassius …

& King!

Thank you for a wonderful evening, Evan and Keely! I had a blast with you and your insanely fun dogs. You are a great family!

Here’s what I’ve been up to in the last 24 hours! More pictures to come very very soon!

Happy Friday!

This morning I realized, yet again, just how awesome my job as a photographer is. I spent a couple of hours walking along beautiful trails, enjoying great conversation, while documenting two spunky dogs enjoy their morning to its fullest!

Meet Lexy and Gilbert:

Lexy is an absolute sweetheart! A tad bit shy in the beginning, she gradually warmed up to the idea of being photographed. While we were at Twin Brooks this morning, she seemed so at ease- everything just seemed right in her world!

Gilbert is full of life and absolutely fearless! He introduced us to nearly a dozen other dogs who instantly took to his spunky personality. He and Lexy seem to be the perfect complements!

They are two peas in a pod!

Thank you, Marie, Lexy and Gilbert! I cannot wait to return to Twin Brooks and enjoy its natural beauty. Somehow I just don’t think it will be the same without watching Lexy and Gilbert run all over the place!

Last week’s session with Kiva was absolutely delightful! I would have blogged about it sooner but our move and fixing up the new house has made life incredibly complicated. Tammy brought Kiva, a beautiful Canaan, in for a studio session and then we headed down to Willard for some fun beach shots!

Kiva is ALWAYS ready to play! I love her ready pounce position!

Thank you, again, Tammy and Kiva! Come back to Willard Square for ice cream and another romp on the beach anytime!

& unlimited photography is featured in the current edition of The Maine Switch! I had a wonderful time sitting down with the writer, Belinda Ray, over a cup of tea and chatting about life, my obsession with Orvis and business. The article is very well-written and accurately portrays me both, as a photographer and a person! I was also lucky enough to meet the talented, Fred Field, throughout this process too, as he came to the studio to snap a quick photo of me. (Oh, how I dread being on the other side of the camera!)

Michael, my family and I do keep laughing about the thirty foot canvas mentioned in the article. While Orvis would certainly love a canvas the size of a three story building devoted entirely to him, we just do not have the space. Thirty inches was all we could fit!

The article can be found online HERE. Thanks, Belinda, Fred and the Switch staff!

Over 80 people entered Saturday’s drawing to win a photography session! I decided to draw one dog portrait session winner and one child portrait session winner…

And the winners are. . . .

Orvis and I are featured in the latest edition of The Current! Unfortunately the fame has already gone to his head and he is strutting his stuff around town like he is quite the big shot. I cannot seem to find a copy of the article online and this was the best my semi-small scanner could do. If you’re a local Mainer, be sure to pick up a copy for yourself!
