Ever since I was a child I’ve had two loves in my life; photography and dogs. I volunteer with my border terrier, Basil at Maine Medical Center. Even during the very busy wedding season, I find time to visit patients a couple of times a month, it really puts things into perspective. Being a therapy dog volunteer […]
If you’ve been following my blog for more than a few months, you’ll know how passionate I am about engagement shoots. Meg and Northe’s wedding is in Winter Harbor this Saturday, so their shoot wasn’t so much as a celebration of their engagement, but a wedding warm-up! As is the case with the majority of […]
This Saturday found me in again in Portsmouth, this time for Sarah and Jeremy’s engagement shoot, and it was another beautiful day in New Hampshire! The forecast kept changing all week, and even though it was leaning towards showers, we decided to try and go for it. Sarah and Jeremy brought the sun and smiles […]
No matter how many years I’ve been a photographer, I know that there are always new things to learn. Last Saturday, two of the most accomplished working photographers alive, Joe McNally and David Hobby, were in Boston giving a flash clinic. David, known for his website Strobist, uses minimal numbers of small flashes (called ‘strobes’ by us […]
We’re closing in on the beginning of the 2011 wedding season very quickly. The rain is falling, the snow is melting and the crocuses are starting to poke through the soil. I’m busy planning for the upcoming season of weddings, getting gear cleaned and ready, and reviewing past work. It’s important to look back in […]
Danielle - I am in Bangor & would love to get into a therapy dog program. But I just don’t know where to start. I love also photography and dogs. Plus I am a heart patient. So I know how great it is to see a dog when your sick. I would just love to bring that joy to someone. I didn’t know if you could help me with, where to start this. I have a Jack Russel & she is very loving but I don’t know if she has what it takes to do this work. She just barks a lot when she hears stuff. I think I could train her on some of it but I don’t really know how to go about it. I have a trainer I have worked with but she doesn’t have the time to get into what I really need from her.
I am in Portland a lot at MMC so maybe someday I will see you & your dog there 🙂
Thank you
Danielle
