Happy New Year's from Dog Photographer Julie Deans

It's here! Another year has come and gone, faster than ever. It seems the older you get, the less time we have and the less time we have, the older we get ever faster.

So cherish the time that you have with your friends, pets and loved ones, and if you need to, cover the grey with a bit of colour, it helps with the aging process.

Here's wishing everyone a safe and happy new year, hope all your dreams and wishes come true, and those pesky New Year's resolutions too. Oh, and Brandy says make sure you drink responsibly! All the best!

Merry Christmas - From pet portrait Artist Julie Deans

Hot Dogs Anyone? By Pet Portrait Artist Julie Deans

Everyone likes hot dogs right? My hubby is a little overzealous with these eatables, not the most nutritious food, but hey, you only live once right, why not enjoy it...

So inspired by my hubby's love of this unhealthy item, and my love of dogs, I came up with this painting for the child's room.


Acrylic on pre-stretched canvas, and oh what fun this one was!

Christmas Is In The Air (and the lens), by Pet Photographer Julie Deans

Oh yes, it is that time of year once again. It's approaching quickly now, and though I knew it was coming, it still sort of takes me by surprise each year, and I am once again unprepared for the Holiday Season.

But even though I am somewhat unprepared, I continue to be distracted by photographic opportunities and artistic ideas, rather than taking the time to shop for gifts or bake.

And here are the results of some of this distraction - how could I resist?










I hope that everyone has a safe, and happy Holiday Season, a Merry Christmas and Wonderful New Year!!!! All the best.

Meet Booker - Jack Russell Rescue of Ontario

Booker is approximately 3 years old and is a JRT/Chihuahua cross. He is quite timid until he gets to know you and then he is your best friend! He is very sweet, absolutely loves to sit on your lap and roll over for a good belly rub. Booker has had a rough beginning to his life and was going to be shot until he came to JRT Rescue. He is from a puppy mill where he was used for breeding, and has not been socialized much. However, he is extremely dog friendly and loves to play with other dogs. He has never been walked on leash, and going out the front door is still quite traumatic for him, so his new owners will have to be aware of this. But he does love to be outside, and will happily spend hours in the backyard with the other dogs. He would probably do well in a fairly quiet home without small children. He is completely crate trained and vetted. Booker needs to learn to trust people and be comfortable with them. He will make someone a fabulous, loyal pet if he is given the chance. Adoption Fee: $250.00

Spayed/Neutered • Up-to-date with routine shots • House trained

Check out Bookers Pet Finder page for more images.

Little Angels, by Artist Julie Deans

I don't get the chance to create many people portraits, as my forte is pets, especially dogs, but I was given the opportunity to capture these two beautiful girls in a portrait, and am delighted with how it turned out.

This is an 8"x10" pencil piece, and due to some unforeseen circumstances, it may be available for sale.

If anyone is interested in a portrait of their loved one, please feel free to contact me, or check out my website for details.
