I can still hardly believe it. One of my photos will be in Canadian Geographic! I am really excited to share this supreme honour on my blog, as getting into a Geographic magazine has been a life long goal. In November, one of my images will actually be gracing the pages of the prestigious magazine.
Only thing is … it’s a pic of my dog, Benson. Hahahaha! I will take it though and celebrate regardless!
Canadian Geographic is publishing a special ‘pets’ issue, hence the dog pic.
Benson must be my lucky charm though because it’s the second iPhone/Instagram image of mine (with him in it) to be published in print within the last year.
This is the one they chose to include – it was the first picture I ever took of him. We had just met him and as soon as my husband picked him up, Benson hugged him which is something he still does to this day!
Benson hugging Stephen for the first time.
And, in case you are curious here is the other one that was published last year.
Photo of Benson and Finn – published in the Leader-Post, 2012.

I love the photo that’s going into the magazine and I think it’s a combo of the close-up, expression and unusual angle. Great job.
