Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there who care and dedicate their love to their families, including the animals in their lives! We appreciate your warmth, your love, your compassion and everything you do for us! Sandra thank you for LOVING our Zaira!

“A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us;
when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.” ~Washington Irving

I had the pleasure of photographing the board members of the Oakville Milton Humane Society along the side of various animals from dogs, cats, snakes, rats and bunnies. Check out my collage of some of these cuties! Enjoy!

Product Feature – Custom Photo Books

Sandro Avila — Sat, 04 May 2013 17:21:00 +0000

One of Leash Out’s popular products is the photo books. The most common thing my clients say during the product consultation is, “It’s so hard to select which photos I want because I love them all.” This is where this high quality album comes into play. It tells a story from front to back of the day in the life or your pet’s modeling photo shoot! The album is completely custom to fit your style and taste and there will never ever be two albums alike. Totally unique and a priceless tribute of your loyal fur friend!

Leash Out’s high quality albums feature quality photographic printing, flush mount style, seamless layout and are available in a variety of sizes. Custom designed by Leash Out in partnership with you and your pet!

Golden Retriever Duo!

I had a fantastic and fun shoot today with Maggie and Stevie! This mother and daughter duo got their pro photos taken just in time for Mother’s Day. It is extremely hard to photograph two dogs at the same time, but with my experience and their co-operation, I was able to capture great photos of them together!

Here is a sneak peek of a few of their photos from their custom pet photography modeling shoot! Canada’s got talent baby!

Product Feature – Canvas

One of Leash Out’s most popular products is the canvas! It is truly a piece of art of your pet that will last forever!

Support Oakville Milton Humane Society by Sponsoring Yannick Carter

Sandro Avila — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 22:35:01 +0000

Dogs and animals have brought so much life and happiness to my life and giving back my time by volunteering is dear to my heart and it is one of my passions. I volunteer as a dog trainer/socializer at the Oakville Milton Humane Society (OMHS) and it is 100% for sure the highlight of my week. I know I haven’t mentioned in my posts my volunteer work, but it is something I hold dear to my heart. OMHS’s MILTON MUTT STRUTT is coming up soon and this is a time where we can assist. Organizations like these depend on charitable donations in order for them to continue to help animals in need.

At last year’s Milton Mutt Strutt I had the pleasure of meeting Yannick Carter and since then we have become friends. Yannick currently plays for the Canadian Football League and this upcoming year he will be a Calgary Stampeder. Of course he will be trying to beat up on my Tiger Cats, but I forgive him for that! hehe. Aside from his pro career, he is a huge supporter of the OMHS and he takes time out of his life to help them. He is currently registered for the Milton Mutt Strutt and he has a goal to reach. Let’s support Yannick and his love for animals and give as much as you can so he can smoke his target.

Yannick has rescued two cats, Bentley & Kohl, and a dog named Mia, his love for his pets is the epitome of what a kind hearted person he is. Getting to know Yannick over this past year, I know he would say his furry friends have given him just as much happiness then he could ever have imagined. Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing him and Mia and they were naturals!!! Check out some of the pictures below, but before you do, please support Yannick by sponsoring him.

To sponsor Yannick, please CLICK HERE. I guarantee he is very appreciative of whatever you can give. Thank you thank you thank you!

Enjoy the photos!

Hello everyone!

I hope you are having an excellent well deserved weekend. Last year I blogged about how a new Leash Out website was coming soon and here I am a quarter into 2013 and no new website. I’m happy to say I have been kept busy doing what I love, taking photographs of your cutie doggies, but I do need to attend to my website, so I promise it will be out soon. My gallery needs to be updated, I have testimonials from clients that aren’t even advertised, I have no products page and my website content is starting to sound like the content on websites of new pet photographers that have surfaced after me! Thank you for the compliment!

I want to extend a warm thank you to all my clients, family and supporters. For the first time in my life I feel a purpose and I really enjoy doing what I do, photographing animals! I’m blessed to all my clients who trust me with their furkids and have referred me to their family and friends. Your support allows me to continue to do what I love, I’m extremely appreciative! I have had one of the busiest Winter season’s so far, I cannot wait for the great weather! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Here is a photo from the archives, I hope it puts a smile on your face!!! LOVE THE PUG!

Meet Ryder!

Sandro Avila — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 17:20:25 +0000

Meet Ryder, a mountain biking partner, water loving, bird watching Vizsla! I had the pleasure of photographing this stud muffin yesterday! I had a blast photographing Ryder, except he was way too fast for me and my camera!!!! I really enjoyed this photo shoot because Zaira our dog is part Vizsla and I loved seeing a lot of the same characteristics in Ryder! What a dude!

Enjoy a sneak peek of his modeling session!

Heart Warming Testimonial

Sandro Avila — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 21:34:59 +0000

My saddest moments is walking into a clients home to photograph their dog knowing they only have a few days left on Earth. I want to photograph their dog as they see them and do the photos justice. It’s also very difficult being in the clients shoes know they are going to lose their pup, I know, I have been there. This is the situation I was in with Scamper and when I met him he put me at ease and I enjoyed photographing him. It was an honour being part f this intimate moment and it’s a memory that will treasure forever.

I recently received a testimonial from Jill, Scamper’s mom. It was so nice and every word she wrote down is what I strive for and I’m glad that I succeeded. It was an honour Scamper and we will miss you!
