TORONTO DOG PHOTOGRAPHER: A SWEET SHELTIE

LIFESTYLE
Comments Off on TORONTO DOG PHOTOGRAPHER: A SWEET SHELTIE

Styling and creating photoshoots for clients that capture their beloved pet in a unique manner is my favourite thing to do. It is a process that goes above and beyond simply taking their photograph and instead curates a mood and a memory that showcases their furry personality in an editorialized, yet genuine manner.

I recently had the enormous pleasure of working with this sweet little Sheltie called Beth. She was delicate and delightful; a real little princess bursting with sweetness. Her owner wanted to capture Beth’s dainty mannerisms in a classic and elegant way, so I brought out some pearls and set up a mini tea party on two volumes of Jane Austen novels.

The results you can see above — a series of images that depict little Beth and her many moods and mannerisms. Can you spot the crossed paws? How darling!

WHAT BETH’S OWNER HAS TO SAY
“I was absolutely astounded by the photographs Laura managed to create of my dog, Beth. I was expecting a few pretty pictures, but what I received were mini works of art that look as though they belong in a magazine. I’ve never had photos like this before. I ended up hanging them as a series of 8×12 prints in my home and every time I walk by them, they make me smile. Thank you, thank you for the incredible work!” ~ Carol Taylor

Comments Off on JANUARY 2014 #PAWSHPLANS CALENDAR

This winter let’s keep busy and active with our dogs! While the frigid weather may make hibernating under a blanket all season very tempting indeed, it is important to get out and about and do our best to enrich our pet’s lives.

This month let’s try new things! Let’s bake, set goals, reconnect with old friends and frolic outdoors to make this otherwise dreary chilly month warm with fun memories.

If you partake in any of these suggested activities, share your experiences on Instagram with the hashtag #Pawshplans. Rory and I will be doing the same and I’d love to see your pups having fun and games too!

HELLO 2014! LET’S HAVE SOME FUN!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a sensational holiday season! It was certainly eventful around here. Toronto had an icestorm that resulted in all sorts of power outages and chaos. A huge branch came down and crushed a parked car on my street! But once all of that settled down, the coziness of the holidays returned.

And now we are beginning a brand new, fresh-faced year and I couldn’t be more excited! I love the first week of January, day-dreaming about what the year might hold, coming back to work refreshed and finally tackling new projects.

While I also love making resolutions, I’ve decided this year to instead make Pawsh promises to myself, to you and to our furry friends. Promises for improvement, for growth and for more fun — and here they are…

1. PAWSH PROMISE #1: THREE SPECTACULAR ISSUES
This year I promise to produce a minimum of three amazing issues of Pawsh Magazine. The magazine will be undergoing a redesign, it will showcase new features and each issue will be bigger and fuller than ever! The first 2014 edition will come out on March 1st.

While reflecting over the holidays I realized that I really want to refine and project Pawsh Magazine‘s voice so that we can offer even more great, original content to help pets all over the world have the best lives possible.

2. PAWSH PROMISE #2: MONTHLY GIVEAWAYS
After much debate, I have decided to suspend the Pet of the Month column this year. It’s not that I don’t love it — I do! But I would like to start running giveaways that everyone can enter have a chance to win as a thank you for the time you take each day to visit the site. So keep an eye out — there are some fabulous items headed your way each and every month this year! Hooray!

3. PAWSH PROMISE #3: GIVE BACK MORE
Pawsh was born out of a deep love of animals; a love that grows each and every year and remains the focus of everything we are trying to do with this ongoing project. I want to continue that mission and plan to bring more great print products to Pawsh Print Shop, run more Pawsh Studio promotions, and produce more creative projects to promote awareness and raise money for animal welfare issues. Every animal life that is helped or saved makes the world a better place.

4. PAWSH PROMISE #4: FOCUS
Sometimes, while feeling ultra inspired, I can get distracted by new ideas and aspirations. I can spread myself too thin. I can get burnt out. I can feel overwhelmed. This year I promise to retain focus to make Pawsh more dynamic, more consistent and more present. I promise to keep myself grounded in the present, to focus on the task at hand and to work towards my goals one step at a time.

5. PAWSH PROMISE #5: MORE CONTENT
I promise to infuse new life and creativity into the Pawsh blog. There is all sorts of new exciting content in the works for you guys. There is a new, bold editorial calendar in place for the new year to keep things lively and fun.

There is also a brand new monthly newsletter now in place, brimming with exclusive content just for subscribers! Coupons, exclusive Pawsh Studio deals, never-before-seen dog treat recipes and more await! All you have to do is subscribe to it here! The first edition comes out on Monday!

***

I hope these promises don’t sound too similar or narrow. My biggest dream for Pawsh is for it to be loved by pet owners of all ages, for it to be a place where we can always share our funny pet stories and learn new ways to care for our furry friends. By making these promises to you here today I am confident that we can have our best year ever here on Pawsh! xo

IT’S HERE! PAWSH NO.8!

WELLNESS
Comments Off on IT’S HERE! PAWSH NO.8!

Happy Monday ladies and gentlemen! At last the new issue of Pawsh is here — all 132 pages of it! Jam packed with all sorts of delightful goodies for you and your furkids to enjoy this fall and winter!

Whenever the end of a year draws near, it is only natural to become reflective about our lives. Did we accomplish all that we set out to achieve? Did we grow as an individual? Did we exceed our personal expectations?

While personal development is an admirable quest, I find myself preoccupied this year with one presiding question — “Was I happy?” Too often do we confuse the concept of success with money and title instead of focusing upon a simpler, more attainable definition – happiness.
This question is the inspiration behind our new edition of Pawsh No. 8 “The Simple Things.” It’s about relishing each and every moment for what it is, creating lasting memories, slowing down, focusing and above all connecting with those things and people we love most in the world.

Everything in this issue has been designed to reflect this profound ‘less is best’ attitude. The photography is clean, chic and minimalist in nature; the topics are each linked to improving one’s quality of life for you and your dog; and the overall artistry – we hope – is meant to inspire a calmer, more collected way of life.

Special thanks to everyone who contributed to this edition of Pawsh! And thank you again to all of you for being so patient while I dealt with some unexpected news that delayed this issue. I hope you and your loved ones enjoy curling up with it this season.
