The Rainbow Bridge

/ Dogs & Lifestyle

The Rainbow Bridge is where our pet cross when they have departed from us. Their landing point is a vast open area, brimming with every favorite landscape with ample opportunities to play, swimming, chase, fetch and nap. Each of our dogs who has departed and all the dogs before them live in harmony in this space, perhaps forever, perhaps until they return to the land of the living as a new dog in a new land, new time and with new people to protect, love, inspire and teach. This of course is based on your mythology of what happens to […]

Remington’s Pride Baked Goods litter portraits

/ Client Session

Who’s ready for puppy pictures??? EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK! I think the only thing more fun than seeing the puppy pictures would be hanging out with the said puppies. (Which I totally got to do!) The day was perfect for weather, the light pretty. The puppies were from the pairing Tanger (Ch Remington’s Pride Fear Cuts Deeper than Swords) & Gus (Ch Crown’s Nothing but a Jenuine Raye of Light) – the first litter for both parents! 9 in total – 5 boys & 4 girls.

Meet the Working Dog: Roles and Breeds Explained

/ Dogs & Lifestyle

The working dog. You may have visions of German Shepherds on the police force, Bloodhounds with their noses to the ground, Dalmatians escorting firetrucks, Border Collies herding sheep and an extensive group of service dogs working in everything from assistance to scent work. True these dogs all have jobs which means they are working, yet (excluding the undefined dog types of service dogs) NONE of them are actually working dogs! Or at least not in the working dog breed classification of the AKC! (UKC outlines guardian dogs / mastiffs instead of a working class!) German Shepherds are in the HERDING

Location Spotlight: Theodore Wirth Regional Park | Golden Valley MN

/ Client Session

One of my favorite locations to visit for sessions in the Twin Cities metro: Theodore Wirth Regional Park.  Nestled minutes from downtown Minneapolis, Theo Wirth is a massive 740 acre park that ambles around Wirth Lake & the golf course. There is a big sandy beach, a playground, and ample trails looped throughout. Pair with big fields, wooded paths and an adorable bridge, this park has a MEGA ton of diversity in backdrops.  I was introduced to this park in 2017 with a session with Suzi & Elli. Fluffy dandelions in golden hour, many textures of walking paths, a sandy
