Aliesha has been a longtime client of mine, we found a friendship somewhere in the middle of her wedding planning, her strong animal right support and adventures and her growing passion for photography.  So needless to say when she called me to photograph her family, I had a really good idea of what style and ideas we both shared.  What I didn’t realize was that as much as I though I was the biggest animal lover, she is in a different league with a giant heart.

As we took the dogs out for a walk, I began to learn the touching story of the different family members (cats and dogs) and I tell you, I don’t know if I have ever seen such an eclectic group living happily together.  I loved every minute of it.

I asked her to describe each one of them, this is what she wrote me:

“What a beautiful day we had. We really lucked out with the weather. The dogs seemed better behaved than I thought they would be. 
You asked for the spelling of all their names. The orange cat is Kolbassa, my Fairview cat, a complete attention hound. Autolycus is the grey and white cat, a bottle baby with a strange personality. I don’t think he knows he is a cat. They do not get along very well, Autolycus is always chasing Kolbassa around the house, though Kolbassa is the boss at meal times. 
Molly is the little blonde dog. She is afraid of the cats and is a complete momma’s girl. Zelgadis is the chocolate lab. He is the one who is allergic to the cats and everything else. Poor guy has had several health issues all his life. Samwise it the golden coloured male dog. He is the sensitive boy in the group, well named as he is hobbit like in every way. He thinks with his stomach, but is loyal and friendly. “Samwise the Brave”

Thank you for your trust Aliesha once more.
