A girl named Stevie

I always wonder how owners decide on a pets name don’t you? Well I decided to ask this little gems mum a few questions about her name, why she picked it and what they like to do together.
​







Question: What kind of dog is she, and how did you come up with her name. Was it Stevie Nicks as inspiration?
Stevie’s Mum: I like the name Stevie, and I thought it would be cute for such a little tomboy puppy like her to have a name of Stevie. The name seems to be catching on but when I picked it she was and in my eyes is the one and only Stevie. Oh yea, she is a minnie aussie/sheltie mix, and she is 11 months old.
​
Question: So what activity do you just adore doing with your dog?
Stevie’s Mum: Stevie and I adore hiking around taking in the sites of Vancouver Island. We live is such a gorgeous place, you can hike to the top of a mountain or stroll along a beach it’s the best thing to do with my girl. Plus she seems to love it. Another thing I like is working with Stevie on different training commands, it’s a great way to create a tight bond, oh and of course, after all that we just loooove to snuggle.

Question: How many fur babies are in the family? 
Stevie’s Mum: So far Stevie is an only child.

Question: When you had your session, what were your expectations?
Stevie’s Mum: I was a bit worried I might not be able to get Stevie to follow commands or hold positions long enough to capture great photos. Stevie is still a puppy and you know how they can be, particularly since we were shooting outdoors. There could be so many distractions, and I had not considered bringing props or toys. I shouldn’t have worried though Kim had some squeaky toys, and that help kept her attention. Although the BEST thing to get Stevie’s attention was the different animal noises Kim would make. The best one was an oinking one. That got a few images of Stevie with her ears perked up wondering what it was making the noise.
​Question: Do you have anything to share with someone booking a session with Kim?
Stevie’s Mum: Don't go into the session with to many expectations, or be too stressed out. It may feel a bit much but just let it flow naturally and Kim will deliver awesome photos of your pet!
