“Look at her… why? I see Mom, I see a man, I see the ground… we’ll I’m looking… not me, I see the sky, I see a bird…” – Linus & Clark

Linus, a curious and expressive Chihuahua, was endlessly entertained by the world around him—though occasionally, he did glance my way. His brother Kelper, a handsome Border Collie mix, had the camera gaze down pat. Getting him to smile? That took a little extra charm (and a lot of treats).

These two sweet boys were my models for a springtime pet photography session on Granville Island. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and both pups looked picture-perfect under the delicate pink petals.

After soaking in the blossoms, we strolled over to the park behind the community centre, then explored some of Granville Island’s more colorful nooks and buildings for a mix of fun and urban portraits.

Their lovely mom, Jessica, made for wonderful company, and by the end of the session, both pups had full bellies and tired paws—ready for a cozy nap and dreams of birds, blossoms, and biscuit bribes.
