Icare, Simeon, Lucas and Evita

Bonjour et bienvenue à la……studio? 

There is probably a word for studio en français, but if there’s anyone who doesn’t know what that word is, it’s Sebastian! My ignorance of the French language is nearly total, but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t going to pretend like I knew what I was talking about when Icare, Siméone, Lucas and Evita dropped by. 

This charming family of Dachshunds came to the Jason KB Photo studio all the way from Montreal! Now that is a long drive. I hope they left the windows open….. 

Anyway, once these darling Dachshunds arrived, it quickly became clear that these French-speaking dogs were going to be a handful. All they wanted to do was run around and play and not listen to any of Angus’s directions. So uncommon for a group of dogs, right? I figured it must be the language barrier that was causing problems. Not to worry! Sebastian to the rescue!

I took it upon myself to translate for Icare, Siméone, Lucas and Evita, although to be honest, I’m not sure how well I did. Each time I would “translate” they would stand instead of sit, fetch instead of jump, and roll over instead of lie down. I’m guessing that my translating skills could use a little work. 

In any case, Jason was able to get some really great shots. Icare is the biggest, even though he’s still just a pup, Siméone’s got the spots, Lucas has the long reddish-brown hair, and Evita has the sleek, short, black fur. You can see even more great photos on our facebook page. 

À bientôt!

Daisy and Lulu

Once upon a time, Sebastian went on a diet. 

After about thirty minutes, and six milk bones, I decided the dieting life wasn’t for me and instead, I would just have to embrace being Big, Blonde and Beautiful.

Temptation isn’t just my friend, it’s my lifelong companion and soulmate. Which is something I can’t say for two recent guests to the Jason KB Photo Studio. 

Meet Daisy and Lulu, a big and little sister combo of Weimaraners that face the temptation of cats, squirrels and various small rodents that Toronto has to offer on a daily basis. Weimaraners are known for their hunting prowess, prey drive and amazing physique, but unfortunately for this fit duo, those tempting critters are out of their reach. For Daisy and Lulu, it’s like being on a permanent diet. If my thirty minutes of dieting taught me anything, it’s that not being able to eat what you want, when you want, is enough to make any dog howl in frustration. 

I have to admit, though, the diet seems to be working. Standing next to Daisy and Lulu while they strutted and posed for Jason’s camera, I felt a lot like (how I would imagine) any average human being might feel standing next to a pair of Brazilian beach volleyball players. 

And on that note, perhaps it’s time for me to reconsider that diet.

Mamie

Here’s a fun Sebastian Fact: I love Jeopardy. 

There’s nothing I love more than getting cozy on the couch, after a long day of work at the Studio, and settling in to watch an always-intriguing broadcast of Jeopardy. I love to shout bark my answers at the TV. I’m almost always right, too. Dogs are smarter than you might think, and they are especially skilled when it comes to trivia. Surprised?

Well, one of our most recent guests to the Studio wouldn’t be. This is Mamie, an Australian cattle dog and border collie cross that’s got more than her share of doggie smarts. Most dogs that come to studio are immediately impressed with the toys and treats on offer and get right down to the business of picture taking. Not Mamie. Just like an actor who doesn’t understand their script, she needed to know what her motivation was. Why were we taking pictures? she wanted to know. What was it all for?

Luckily, I was there to sooth her nerves and give her some encouragement and the photo shoot ended up going really well. Mamie’s a super sweet dog and I think it really shows in her photos. Have a look below and see for yourself.

Until next time!
