Creative Ninja / Founder of Great Ideas
If your ideal weekend includes long walkies with your dog, endless boops on the nose and maybe a bit too much time scrolling through adorable dog photos on your phone, you're in for a treat!
Hey fellow dog lovers and treat dispensers!
I'm the creative mastermind behind Aubri Poon Photography. Where I’m all about your fur baby taking centre stage as they have the time of their life. I'm pretty sure I'll love your dog just as much as you do by the end of our experience.
My sessions with you are curated to be easy peasy lemon squeezy. I prioritize safety, patience, treats and above all, FUN. Because your pup deserves a photo session that feels like an adventure, not a chore.
If you're as lucky as I am to be based in the beautiful city of Calgary, you know it's just a short drive to so many epic locations that allow for the opportunity to capture some unique and stunning photographs. If you're not from around here, throw me a message and I can point you in the right direction.
I get it - life is busy and your dog’s story deserves more than just snaps on your camera roll. That’s why I’ve designed your experience to be effortless, so you can focus on the important stuff (like making sure your pup gets the best spot on the couch but not so much that you can't squeeze in).
Are you ready to Paw-ty?
(Because apparently you want to know all the awkward things about me? Weird. But, OK.)
Short answer... Yes. Wine just happens to be my zinfin-angel.
Long answer, I love the smell, the tasting notes, the way it pairs well with different foods. It brings people together in times of celebration, grief and commonality. Yes, I like wine.
Beef, green pepper and black bean chow fun. Every day. All day. If anyone can pair a wine with it, HMU.
Because I'm not a monster. Don't get me wrong, ethical breeding is 100% a good thing. I have absolutely nothing against responsible breeders who health test, care deeply about their dogs, and are committed to producing healthy, well-adjusted animals.
BUT there are also animals sitting in shelters, rescues overflowing with dogs, and backyard breeders abusing animals to turn a profit. I can't fix all of that, but I can use my little corner of the internet, my camera, and my business to help where I can.
Plus... I like big mutts and I cannot lie.
Nope. I have a favourite type. Weird, maybe slightly wonky, and definitely convinced they're a lap dog. Basically, if there's a mutt with one ear that doesn't quite cooperate and a personality bigger than its body, I'm probably already in love.
Reigning president of getting away with things he absolutely should not get away with. His performance reviews are questionable, but morale remains excellent.
First of all, define “badly behaved.” Does your dog sit politely and wait for instructions? Lovely. Does your dog scream at squirrels, refuse to look at the camera, roll in something horrifying and then suddenly become convinced they are a professional model? Also lovely. I photograph dogs.
Dogs are weird and feral. That's kind of the point. Chaos = personality.
Nope. I don't believe in “good pain” either. But I do this for the following reasons: sometimes for photography, sometimes because there is a mountain involved, and sometimes because free aromatherapy from the outdoors sounds pretty damn good to me. Mostly, though, I do it because Stanley has informed me that sitting inside is unacceptable.
I have a lot of favourite memories in different hiking spots, and they can't be compared. Some have epic views, some have made me question every life decision that led me there, and all of them have a story.
I hike-ish. I travel. I camp. I make and eat good food. I drink wine, a lot of it. I take approximately 2,437 photos of Stanley that will never see the light of day, just like you. And I think about dogs probably more than is necessary for any one human.
I'll see a great sunset and immediately think, damn, this would be better with a dog in front of me if I had my camera.
That they don't care who you are, what you look like, what you do for a living, what your house looks like, or whether you remembered to answer that email. They just want to know they're there for you, and ready for a pet at any moment. Honestly, they're onto something.

Flippity-flap ears, jowls and tiny teefies. The ridiculous little faces they make when they're concentrating. Basically, all the weird bits that make a dog look like your dog.
Unfortunately, more so. With a large dose of dark humour. It's just not particularly professional to inject all of that directly into a website when you're trying to attract clients, is it?
I will nitpick an edit for hours. If your gallery is late, this is why. I'm sorry. I'm in therapy for it.
Yes. If anything, the website is exercising restraint.
I'm working on it.
