For the past 15+ years, I’ve been working as a professional dog photographer and I’ve been sharing dog stories, photographs, and shoots for many years on the Dutch version of this website and blog. After organizing a series of workshops I discovered the joy of......
The Quest
DOGvision =creativity + adventure + dogs
Look at those happy faces! Only a few weeks ago, in early May, the world around us was still blah. Everything was still dead. Brown. Beige. Cold. But as always, when you start to get restless about the never-ending cold, everything suddenly explodes into bright......
Most of my sketchbook pages appear on www.Fenne.be, my art/illustration website, but as dogs were sneaking more and more into my work, I decided to start an extra notebook for dog sketches and doodles. See it as drawing out loud. Random thoughts quickly scribbled down.......
Just loving the cheeky face of a wet but very happy girl X...
We can’t wait to hit the road, explore new places, and find some peculiar treasures. As I’m packing, I thought it would be fun to share the dog gear we take when we travel. Just as what we pack for ourselves depends on the season......
I’ve been drawing my whole life, and an illustrator since 2017, but until now, two things were missing: dogs and digital drawings. Honestly, I have no idea why I haven’t been drawing any dogs, except for some sketches of my own dogs in sketchbooks. A......
Look at that abundance of light coming in at the studio! We’re loving it! The dogs snooze in the sun, and I move their pillows around in between work haha. But we start the day with a cup of tea, feeding the birds, and on......
It was a random day in the middle of the week, only a few weeks ago, when I checked the Geocaching website and discovered that there were a lot more caches than I initially thought- since we’re living outside of a very quiet village. It......
There is a good probability that according to my dogs, I’m seriously complicating life by dragging along poo bags, leashes, or fresh water. “We’re tough dogs!” -they think of themselves. They happily drink from dirty puddles, roll in the dirt, chew on old sticks, and......
I had been dreaming of a perfect Christmas and finding that sparkling magical feeling again for years. In my mind, it would start with hot chocolate + pancakes in the morning while “We wish you a Merry Christmas” joyfully fills the air, just like when......
When getting ready for winter here up north, anything and everything is a great reason to create and celebrate. Halloween or Samhain marks the end of the harvest season (I’ve just cut the last bits of mint to dry), and the start of the dark......
“Would you mind looking after a dog?” my friend texted, and I could barely temper my excitement, especially after learning that it would be a young Border Collie who would visit me. I absolutely love having dog guests, only my dogs (especially Oona) don’t match......
ISO 320: not too much noise. 25sec: long exposure so I have enough time for playing with the light. f22 for the starburst effect 16mm on Nikon. Edited in Lightroom to pull the shadows....
Enchanting midsummer nights, insanely long days. Yesterday I was still taking pictures at 10 o’clock in the evening and afterward I worked in the garden for another hour. Today we celebrate, we pick flowers, make a fire to chase away dark monstrosities, and place birch......
1. Don’t worry about leashes/ collars or harnasses. One thing that I find extremely annoying when reading dog photography discussions, is people whining about collars or harnesses. Sure, I think it’s great to have a beautiful portrait of your dog all-natural and without any......

It’s no secret that we love adventure stories with exciting treasure hunts, scruffy smugglers, hidden caves, and shipwrecks. Those ingredients aren’t part of our daily life, but we found a few modern (and risk-free) alternatives to go hunting for treasures- together with the dogs. Because,......
It wasn’t that long ago that I wasn’t a fan of harnesses. At the time, the city was our daily environment and we were constantly searching for space to let the dogs run free, play, and run. Harnesses, I thought, only make dogs pull more,......
Belgium, we still love you! And perhaps even more after some wonderful walks we did recently. When we still lived in Belgium, we barely ever visited nature reserves, mainly because we constantly looked for places where our dogs could run off-leash. These days we have......

Making a leather dog collar has been on my list for a long time, and now I finally did. The hardest part is without any doubt deciding on the technique/style. With our without stitches, one layer or multiple, buckles, hardware, with or without padding,… so......
These cookies are super easy but my dogs adore them, and, of course, they also love ‘helping’ by cleaning tools or the empty peanut butter jar 🙂 You’ll need: • 2 ½ cups flour • 1 banana • 3 tablespoons of peanut butter • 1......
I was looking for a solution for the dog toys that would be 1) easy to access for the dogs, 2) easy for me to dump the toys when passing by, 3) easy to move when cleaning. This solution is working great for us and......
Leashes, collars, jackets, grooming products, the stock of dog poop bags… the collection of dog supplies always seemed to be somewhere we didn’t look. We no longer had room for our own coats, Joeri always thought there were no more poo-bags and never found the......

Meet the heroes
The smallest changes in her surroundings are noticed by Oona. She uses her Bosnian street-dog-skills to get the group safely back home after adventures. She loves to go on squirrel patrol and practicing her camouflage techniques. At home she loves sleeping on the biggest pillow she can find and snores loudly (and we love that). She's allergic to fish but loves carrots.<br /> A DNA test showed that she's a 'European Village Dog'.
Running through the forest, jumping in lakes, swimming and long long hikes across frozen lakes are the best things in the world to Mogwai and she always goes 100% for it. Mogwai is energetic, loyal, very focused and sensitive. She doesn't like vegetables unless she can play with them. She might be a whirlwind outdoors but indoors she's very calm and loves to sleep at our feet.
A small, scared rescue dog flew over from Crete, not knowing what was going on and how much her life would change. The first few weeks, we carried her through the big and overwhelming world but quickly she discovered her adventurous self and by now her curiosity is unstoppable! She loves to go first on new paths and dives deep in the snow. She runs fast as the wind and loves sleeping in the sun.
Dog lover, visual artist, and photographer. Unstoppable wanderlust and creative curiosity with a huge fascination for ice. Loving personal challenges, collaborating with fellow creatives and inspiring others to seek their limits, live the creative life and develop a visual style. Art & Illustration on: www.Fenne.be
Dog lover. Runner. Can't say no to the sweet eyes of Mogwai. Cooks the most delicious veggie food. Looking for digital Easter eggs.

The muse who started the DOGvision-adventure. A rescue dog with a heart of gold and eyes that always understand. 15/03/2002 - 04/01/2017
2805/2005 - 22/05/2018<br /> Eating is serious business according to Ravasz and it doesn't even have to be food. Ravasz is brave, has a strong opinion and always looks after his group. Since September 2016 he's fighting cancer (the reason why he doesn't have a tail anymore) but for now it doesn't make him any less hungry and life loving.

Fenne took amazing pictures of her dogs and my products. Her photography style is very unique and stands out from afar! I love working with her and couldn't be any happier!! Elli from @Betty.woof
I love the photo content ❤️ We are collaborating through @FireflyCanineOutfitters and she delivers on her promises 200% with amazing photos ?
Fenne is a fantastic photographer. Not only does her photos have a fantastic crisp quality, she goes above and beyond in providing me way more photos than I requested. I loved that! Fenne is the rare combination of quantity with quality. I love her work so much, I've extended our agreement so we could further work together! ❤️
I love the photos Fenne takes, and I get really inspired when I see them. Fenne wrote a quick photo guide for the magazine I work for, Hund & Fritid, here in Norway. It was a great guide, and I think our readers learned a lot from it.
