MEET ROXY - The Creative
SO, who is Roxy?
Originally hailing from Ukraine, I found my heart in Scotland after marrying a Scot and settling here permanently in 2000. Life as a mum to three wonderful kids and a beautiful black standard schnauzer is filled with joy, laughter, and the everyday adventures of motherhood.
In my ‘day job,’ I work for two non-profit organizations, where I thrive on connecting with people in my local community. But beyond that, I’m deeply passionate about the beauty of animals and find my creative outlet in the art of photography.
Eternally curious and committed to living life to its fullest, I’m an avid reader (or, more accurately, an Audible enthusiast), always seeking the bright side of things. Health and well-being are important to me, and I keep my balance through yoga and a dedicated self-care routine. Personal development is my secret obsession, while a delightful cup of chai latte and dark chocolate (the darker, the better!) are my cherished guilty pleasures.
I bring a diverse set of skills to the table—I’m a trained vet who can handle your banking, bookkeeping, offer you some counseling therapy, and even teach your dogs a few tricks—all while brewing a fantastic cup of coffee! My connection with animals is innate, stemming from my teenage years spent among dog lovers, showing and training dogs in obedience, single-handedly delivering and raising three litters of pups, and finding them loving homes. It was a rewarding yet heart-wrenching experience to let them go.
After graduating with honors as a vet, I realized that the path I had chosen was not where my heart truly lay. Losing my heart dog left a void I couldn’t ignore, and that’s when my lifelong journey of self-discovery began.
The experience
This rich tapestry of life and educational experiences gives me a unique ability to connect with dogs and their owners on a deeper level. By keenly reading a dog’s body language, I ensure that your furry friend remains happy and comfortable throughout our photo session, while you can feel at ease. This connection often blossoms into lifelong friendships with many of my clients—a delightful side effect, if I may say so! ☺️
During our sessions, I take a relaxed and natural approach, ensuring the experience is fun and enjoyable for everyone, especially the dogs. We’ll embark on a leisurely stroll, turning the session into a day out—a treat for both you and your companion. You get to be yourself, unwind, and walk away with not just magical memories, but a keepsake to cherish for years to come.
