Charlotte Reeves - Awwww Ruth so many beautiful photos of these little fellas! They are gorgeous! I can certainly appreciate the challenge involved though.

Ian J - Hehehe, love them, i love the fact that all have HUGE paws! Great photos though, glad you made it out alive!

Mel S - Beautiful series of shots Ruth. And by the sounds of it, you might’ve had a easier time facing a mountain lion (schmountain lion) than braving that pack of puppies!
Such appealing little faces, and the ears, I love the ears.
Smiles…

Leanne - They looks like little devils! Very cute.

Bronwyn Hartigan - I am happy to say that I am the proud owner of one of these puppies (known as number 5 – but now renamed “Mace”) in Mackay Qld as of 2pm today. Your photos both at 4 weeks and now are amazing. Your calendar is proudly hanging in our kitchen thanks to Monika. xB

Lisa Prince Fishler - Love these photos Ruth – looks like a lot of fun!

Jennifer Metzger - i love the one biting the shoe! looks like a pile of naughty puppies to me! They are terribly cute though.

Leanne - Boy No. 8 of this litter will be coming join our family as of tomorrow. Your photos have been such a delight to see. Would love to know if you know which is which pup in this series at all.

After Tiger, I think Paddy is probably my littlest client to date. He’s only small in stature though, he’s got a massive personality… and a pretty big bark! We met at his home in Paddington where he came running to greet me with his favourite toy in his mouth. He was happy to pose for 30 seconds at a time as long as I threw his toy in between shots. After the house we went to Centennial Park where he surprised me with his solid sit/stays. He sat very patiently on the steps while people came and went. Such a good boy. Afterwards he got to tear around like a lunatic. I think he liked that part the best!

My new camera bag arrived today and I love it so much that I had to tell the world! I already have one of these bad boys and one of these and another smaller one that I can’t find on their website, but I didn’t have anything funky. I heard about PorteenGear on Etsy and I had to have one. The bags are customiseable – I chose the patterned fabric, the colour leather, the colour canvas, the internal fabric and the strap. They’re handmade to order so now I fully empathise with everyone who orders from Ruthless Leather and has to wait 3-4wks for their goods. Patience is a virtue!

A full description of the dimensions and the materials can be seen here. Happy shopping!

Jennifer Metzger - super cool bag!!! not big enough for me and I have to have a backpack because of neck issues but awesome!

Simon - That is one sweet bag! Shame it’s not full of Nikon…;-)

Ruth[less] - It fits a 70-200, a body with a lens and another lens or a flash. Nice for when you don’t want to carry all your gear

Sweet as Honey | Sydney Dog Photographer

We had the pleasure of minding this little lady on Friday night. She left the pound that afternoon and came to us so I could photograph her before she went into her foster home up the coast on Saturday. Honey was very hand shy at first, but as soon as we brought Chopper out to meet her she turned into a different dog. A goofy, gangly puppy that was bursting out of her skin to play. She was an absolute joy to have here… even if she did do a pooh in the house, trample in it and then get the zoomies! I hadn’t planned on mopping the floor when it was 35+ degrees outside, but how could I get mad at this face??

I’m very jealous of whoever adopts this gorgeous girl. She’s a real gem. Her Pet Rescue profile is here.

Sarah - What an adorable baby girl! Lovely pics…I’m sure they’ll help with finding her a forever home (if she’s not already there)

Michelle - She is gorgeous and I would have her in a second but the hubby wont let me have a third which is soooo not fair and plus we have 2 boys and i am not to sure how they would go with her!
I hope she finds her forever home real soon and i am sure she will as she is simply stunning.

Ian J - Awesome shots Ruth, Honey is amazingly cute! I want her!

Pamila Schwartz - What a little beauty she is…I wish we could take her, but that face willll find her forever home soon….Give her a kiss for us!!!

Tambo - Ruth, we are all so pleased that you have had such a huge part to play to rescuing Honey … AND to top it off, sharing these amazingly beautiful photos of her too. Honey is indeed very special.

Ruth[less] - I didn’t do that much! I just put the right people in touch with each other

You are my GURU Ruth!!! KISSES!

Pamila Schwartz - No wonder, she is such a little Starlett!!!!

William and Brown really are the quintessential odd couple! William the Westie is your typical cheeky little terrier and Brown the Greyhound is quiet and unassuming… although he is prone to the occasional bout of zoomies! We started at their house in Paddington and then moved on to Centennial Park.

William likes to drop, crawl and then roll around like a crazy thing!

Brown just likes relaxing and taking it all in.

Isn’t he cute as a button?

Brown used to be a racer, but he was dumped and subsequently rescued. Although he’s very happy with his new life as a lounge lizard he still likes to stretch his legs occasionally.

William likes to run too!

William and Brown’s owners won this session in a fund-raising auction for Pet Rescue. So not only was it heaps of fun to do this shoot, but the money went to a great cause also. Thanks Sophie and Alex!
