With our mild winter behind us (yep, I’m calling it!), it’s time to look forward to spring – the longer days, the variety of colours, the change in light. I photographed Bella, a three-year-old boxer, and sister Blue, a sweet one-year-old mastiff, in late April of last year (yes, slightly behind sharing this one!). As…
