Spencer and Savannah {Calgary Pet Photographer}



May 20, 2014

These little cuties are Spencer and Savannah, two adorable cats that are looking for their forever home.

Spencer is a very handsome boy who was very curious about me, but from a distance at first. As you can see below, by the end of the session he couldn’t get enough of all the attention and started showing off his cuteness. he even tried to bait me with that furry belly!

Savannah is a very shy girl, and very fast too! I don’t think she has aspirations be a model, I was only able to get a few shots of her before she had better things to do. She’s a very sweet little girl and the family that ends up with her will be very lucky!

Please have a look at them, or any of the other adoptable pets on the AARCS Website

From the AARCS website: “Spencer is a very active, smart, and inquisitive boy. He loves to play and can entertain himself for hours with just his nerf ball and a set of stairs. He gets along very well with the other cats in the house but can be a bit rough sometimes. He was very shy and not socialized when he first arrived but has come out of his shell. He likes to sit with you and is starting to like being held for short periods of time. He still has a problem with nipping fingers and toes so may not be a good fit with kids at this time. He would be happiest if he had other cats to play with. We don’t know if he’s been exposed to dogs or how he would react to them.”

From AARCS: “Savannah is a little bundle of joy. She’s a small girl and very shy at first but once she knows you, she is a great companion. She loves to cuddle, have her belly rubbed and is very playful. Because she’s so timid, she’s had a hard time adjusting to other cats so would probably do best if she were the only pet in the home. We don’t know if she’s ever been exposed to dogs or kids.”

Mariah (Marley) {Calgary Pet Photographer}



February 23, 2014

Meet Mariah (aka Marely), this little cutie stole my heart!

I had the opportunity to photograph this adorable girl through volunteering with AARCS.

She is such a sweet girl who was loving running around with all of her foster siblings, showing me all of her toys and pressing her cute little nose on my lens! She was definitely more interested in cuddling with me than posing for me 😉

Definitely go check our her adoption page or any of the other amazing dogs AARCS has available for adoption

Here’s Marley’s Story:

Helllllo folks! My AARCS name is Mariah but, my foster parents didn’t think it suited me too well, so I’ve been going by Marley now. I am a young energetic pup, my foster parents think I am somewhere around 1 year old.

I am super high energy and super smart. I love to play with my foster sister Nahlah but I think I kind of annoy my foster brother Dylan who only has three legs because I won’t lay on the floor and play with him. I just can’t help myself! I want to run and jump all over the place. I would really love to have a doggie companion under 3 years old.

I am really full of it and sometimes I growl and bark when I’m playing but I don’t mean any harm by it. I am in the process of learning manners. I can sit and stay (with some patience) lay down and shake a paw. I still jump up a lot but I am learning to not do that.

I am a big suck and any human that comes near can be sure to garner some attention from me. I really love to cuddle and I am so smart that I bent the no couch rule! I get half way up so I can cuddle but leave my feet on the ground so technically I am not on the couch!

Because I am so intelligent I would love a human who is a strong leader and wants to take me to some courses. I get a little crazy on the leash, but if I’m on a long lead I know I’m not protecting you so I am good with meeting new people and dogs this way. Sometimes I get to go to the fenced in offleash park, but it has to be fenced in because I love to run so much.

I like to play Frisbee and am working on learning how to catch it in midair. My people like to bring the Frisbee with them to the fenced in offleash park to keep my attention otherwise I will run and investigate every dog or human that I see.

I love sniffing. I think I am mostly German Shepard with a bit of some sort of high energy dog mixed in. So when I go on leash walks my people like to make sure to give me extra time to sniff about to tucker me out.

I don’t think that I would like cats very much, or rather that they would like me because I love to chase and play so much. Little kids probably won’t be best for me either but if you have some pre-teens I bet I would be their very best friend!

My people say I am so smart that I know I’m not in my forever home yet, so I try to go home with all the visitors to our house. I am patiently waiting for you to come visit me!

Cinder {Calgary Pet Photographer}



January 19, 2014

Meet little Cinder! Isn’t he so handsome!

I had the opportunity to photograph this little cutie through volunteering with AARCS. He was such a happy little guy who was loving running around, playing with his foster brother and of course chewing on his little goose. He was so loveable and gentle!

Here’s Cinder’s story:

Cinder is such a sweetheart. He is attentive, gentle and and oh so cuddly! He and our 3 year old dog play constantly, chew bones together and then they both crash, with Cinder often mimicking our dog’s napping position. Outside, it is so funny to watch him try to follow “the big dog” through the snow drifts, he is determined!
 He is learning commands now, and has not had an accident in the house yet! On his first night at our house, he took about 15 minutes to settle and then slept quietly through the night.
 Any family would be lucky to have this delightful, little rough and tumble teddy bear join their household. He is very good natured and a real little gentleman.

If you’re interested in hearing more about Cinder, visit his page: http://aarcs.ca/portfolio-item/a21769316/

I really hope Cinder finds his forever home soon!
