CNIB Guide Dogs of 2021 | Danica Oliva Dog Photography

This past year I had the unique opportunity to work with CNIB Guide Dogs! When I first started working as a dog walker to build my photography business I never imagined that I would be helping foundations as big as CNIB to help such a specific and important group of individuals. Investing in pet photography and specializing in dog photography was a dream I didn’t know I had. Seeing my work grow has been the most rewarding thing. But seeing myself grow into this professional dog photographer who can highlight and capture any and every dog no matter what their challenges, THAT’S what I’m most proud of. THAT’S what got me here. So when the amazing Amanda from CNIB reached out about having my skills and care working with dogs catch her attention, it was a moment in my career in dog photography I will never forget.

Yes I get to be a part of some really cool things. And yes I have the BEST clients/dogs to work with. But THIS is something that will always stand out to me. Working with Amanda and the team at CNIB has been a dream. So let me tell you more about them.

“Founded in 1918, the CNIB Foundation is a non-profit organization driven to change what it is to be blind today. We deliver innovative programs and powerful advocacy that empower people impacted by blindness to live their dreams and tear down barriers to inclusion. Our work as a blind foundation is powered by a network of volunteers, donors and partners from coast to coast to coast.”

Last year I documented the puppy growth of 4 future guide dogs before they enrolled into their schooling. Jamie, Scout, Calah and Graham. I can’t wait to see their journey through the program. A huge shoutout to the amazing caretakers for each that were a part of our sessions. And if you want to know more about the great things CNIB Guide Dogs are doing be sure to check them out here
