Lethbridge Weddings & Portrait Photography by Tanya Plonka

Melon is doing a great job learning how to be a good dog and got to practice her leash skills during her Lethbridge summertime pet photography session at Henderson Lake. She instantly wanted to cover me in kisses and rolled over, insisting I pet her belly. We had to take many belly petting breaks during the session to keep her happy! Despite her young age, she’s so chill and will be a great fit in any home that takes her.

What a sweetheart! Millie was found left behind when her family moved and didn’t bring her with them. Taken in by AARCS, this sweet cattle dog was soon sent to her foster home in Lethbridge. Within a week, Millie’s confidence sky rocketed! She quickly learned (or re-learned) how to walk on a leash and became a sucker for love and attention. She was so easy to photograph with her laid-back personality. She’d sit anywhere for a treat and stay there until she decided she needed snuggles again. She is such a well-behaved dog that we did these photos at the Dragon Boat Festival and it was no big deal to her! With her adorable spotted coat and attentive pointed ears, I don’t think she’ll be looking for a forever home for long.

We had to deal with a LOT of snow for Phoebe’s adoption photos (and I think we even lost her a few times in it!) but it was worth it, even with the wind, for how cute she is! She’s still learning to trust people but she’s still tiny and has lots of time to do that. I love how fluffy her ears are :) (more…)

Doris is such a cutie that she got adopted before I could even post this! Her paws are absolutely massive so she’s definitely going to grow up to be a big girl. She’s already so intelligent and knows a lot of commands for a puppy, and she has the most adorable head tilt when you talk to her. (more…)

It’s puppy time again! Squiggy is one of the newest additions to AARCS’s adoptable list and he is such a sweet puppy! He’s still in his soft, fluffy stage, and with how cuddly he is, he is super hard to resist. If you sit down on the ground, he is instantly in your lap :) (more…)

More puppy! Rolo took Emmy Lou’s foster place right after she found her forever home and I got to play with him in the park for his photos. He’s super mellow and seems like he’ll grow into such a well behaved dog! (more…)
