If this is your puppy’s first Christmas here are some things to remember for Christmas day: Unwrapping presents is fun but… don’t let your puppy eat the paper!

Why Dogs Are My Niche (and Why I Love It)

When it comes to photography there are ample directions a person can be inspired by – be it vast landscapes bathed in natural light, the celebration of two hearts in union, the arrival of a new life to the world, the speed and sleekness of a vehicle, the fluff and drool of cats and dogs, or every person, place or thing that falls into the lens view of the camera.
