About

Hi I’m Candra and I am waving to you from my pink couch as I am cuddling with my dog Sally Pants, with a black coffee next to me. Ahhh, relaxing!

When we first meet, most likely I will be sporting a causal-chic look…aka. jeans and a blazer (probably pink). And when I am at home working (editing), most likely I will be rocking fleece PJ bottoms and a hoodie. Ahhhh, comfy and relaxing.

On your photo day, there is a good chance that I will embarrass myself…in a good way…by walking into a pole, falling over a dead salmon (yes this has happened), or saying something weird that makes you burst out laughing. Yep, we will be friends.

Pets are such a huge part of our lives. They experience the good & bad times, laughter & tears, & births & deaths – They truly are family. They give us support, comfort, and yes, joy. They make things so much better in our lives. I find that if I am having a bad day, or am sad, the moment I come home and my dog Sally Pants greets me at the door, looks up at me and gives me her welcome lick…I instantly smile and feel better. And I love it when she cuddles on the couch…I always smile and cuddle into her too. She makes me feel happy. My childhood dog, Candy, did this too. I was a very shy girl and Candy always made me feel confident and happy.

Dog photography, pet photography, tomato, tomatoe…one thing is for sure, photographing dogs, horses, cats and so on, is my true love and passion. I enjoy capturing their unique personalities, traits, & the bond we share with them.

If you think your pet is camera shy, or won’t perform for the camera, or is too shaggy for a photoshoot. THINK AGAIN!

I am not after those perfect Dog Show poses, I am here to photograph and capture your pet the way they truly are, playful or shy, groomed or shaggy, running wild or snuggled on the couch.

Pets are such a huge part of our lives. They experience the good & bad times, laughter & tears, & births & deaths – They truly are family. Yes they are cute & cuddly, but to us they are much more than that. They are our rocks. Our support systems, Our Best Friends. They shape our lives, give us hope, comfort, and joy. Seriously, there have been many days where I’ve come home upset, sad, mad, and even exhausted, and my Sally Pants looks up at me and gives me a little lick (kiss)…and I instantly feel better.

Even more random facts
about me…and my Sally Pants

1) I have a cute rescue dog named Sally Pants. Hehe, when we meet, make sure to ask me how she got her name…it’s kinda funny. She is my pride and joy and yes I refer to myself as her mom. She’s a little black Schnauzer-Poodle (schnoodle) and a huge part of my family, and her safety and well-being always come first. She has become my favourite model too…and best friend.

I get goosebumps (good goosebumps) when I am photographing pets, horses, and the bond we share with them. It’s amazing to capture the beauty that radiates from you and your best fur friend; this warms my heart and makes us all smile.

2) Oooooooh, I love movie and pizza nights (Ahhh, relaxing). LOL but sadly I am lactose intolerant so I pick off the cheese and place it on my boyfriend’s slice as he LOVES cheese!

AND, I am, and will always be an outdoors woman. I love hiking with my Sally Pants & discovering new places. And I am graced with having the Niagara Escarpment & Bruce Peninsula as my backyard. On any given Sunday, I will grab my camera and set out on a new photo expedition. You never know where the day will take you!

3) Sally Pants random fact: She loves to visit her grandma and grandpa and play in their pond. Even better, she loves to get all wet and smell like the pond and then jump onto the nearest person’s lab.

Sally Pants has a huge vocab of little noises. She has a whine, whimper, little bark, and big bark for any and all things she is trying to communicate to you. LOL, and I believe she is adding to her vocab on a daily basis.

Here is a picture of my Sally Pants after playing in the snow. You may recognize her from the above video, my website or a myriad of Facebook posts. She is my baby girl. My everything! My Best Friend…lol along with my sister Tina.
