About Kaya and Luna

To be revised - Kaya is no longer with us.

Welcome to our photo blog! I'm Kaya, a two year old fawn Great Dane who lives in Australia. I have a sidekick (ok, sister) called Luna. Luna is a Great Dane too, coloured blue (the trendy name for grey) and one year old (nearly one and a half, she reminds me) and used to try and be a show dog. Now she does agility instead!

My special talent is modelling. I get lots of practice because our Mum is a dog photographer, so whenever she doesn't have other dogs to take photos of, she practices on us. I'm very talented at modelling and Luna is well, not quite so talented. She does try though.

We get to do lots of different things with our Mum and Dad - going to the beach is a definite favourite. We love sharing our many adventures with the world through our blog. Oh and we also love receiving comments - hope to hear from you soon!

Me and the Crab

Just a quick little video of me with the the crab I found on the beach the other day!

Chelsea + Shiloh - Cute :)

Amy Francisco - Too cute... those ears are priceless:)

jen hague - Oh my goodness, this is adorable. I love it when our fur babies discover something and explore it with their paws like that!

Testing the Light

You guys probably all know that I’m not the only doggy that Mum takes photos of – she is a special doggy photographer and often takes photos of other doggies for their owners! Anyways, she had a shoot lined up with a lady and her Labrador dog for a really early morning session on the beach – my beach – the Spit. Mum told me that she wanted to ‘test the light’ (whatever that means) and use me as the ‘test subject’ so off we went to the beach one morning, really super early! Before the sun even got up!

When we got there, it was getting light but the moon was still up and the sky was a really deep blue. Mum said that it was perfect, because my full proper name is ‘Hildydane Luna Blue’ – which kind of means blue moon!

There were a few clouds on the horizon but when the sun finally came up above them, it was really pretty.

2009-09-09-0522

There was no one else there to start with, so we had the whole beach to ourselves!

2009-09-09-0513

Mum says that the light is really nice at this time in the morning. You can play around with it and take photos like the one above, where I am all dark, or you can do something different with the camera and take photos where I look normal, and everything else is really bright! This photo was taken about the same time as the one above, look at the difference! Mum says it’s to do with something called ‘exposure’ – but hey, that’s getting just a little too complicated for a doggy like me!

2009-09-09-0516

We moved up into the dunes for some more photos, it was time for me to get to work modelling! That’s how I earn my breakfast, apparently.

2009-09-09-0528

I like being high up in the dunes, cos you can look down on the beach and see everything that’s going on.

2009-09-09-0532

We saw a couple of surfers arrive.

2009-09-09-0534

Mum was really loving the light!

Finally I got to have a lie down and relax and look over my domain.

2009-09-09-0565

If you want to see the results of the shoot that Mum did with the lady and her Labrador, check them out on her blog!

brooke & darwin - great pictures! you're so lucky to have such a pretty beach to go run and take pictures at! I wish we had something near to us like that to take Darwin to. You mom takes such great pictures!

Michelle - Luna, you have a real blue glow in those shots. Your mum is very clever and you make a wonderful model.

Nic Reeves - love the bottom pic sis! great to get the moon pics in there

jon - Love the stylish new collar, Luna!

Boxen and Bella - What a pretty model you are Luna! I have always admired your mom's ability to get some really great pictures. My mom's camera thingy is not really very advanced, the only cool thing it does is take pictures underwater. Be sure and keep an eye on those surfers, you never know when someone might want a new surfer doggy, you could have tried a new sport. hehe love from Boxen and Bella

Ana - Very nice these photos! Luna is a great model, wherever she is!

Jenny - Oh Luna you are always beautiful but I love the pictures that have your "blue" shadow on your sides. Absolutely gorgeous!

Rosalynne - It never fails to amaze me that the pictures you take are absolutely beautiful! Luna - you have such a pretty collar on! I really like the last picture of you!

Rosalynne - Charlotte, I forgot to tell you that I love the new header!

Spot - Oww sweet friend, I so so sooo miss being there with you. Barking, chasing birds, splashing in the water and running a muck. Especially that fresh time of morning :)

New Friend at the Beach – Part 3

Loki was also there with her Dad. He had a sore leg, so he mostly stayed standing in the water cos it felt nice. I don’t blame him, I would stay in the water all day if I could! Here he is with Loki.

2009-06-28-0096

I think Loki was a bit scared of me to start with, but by the end of the day, she was playing with me heaps! I loved chasing her…

2009-06-28-0108

She could run really fast, and sprayed lots of sand up into my face! Ha – that’s usually what I do to other doggies when they chase me, so I suppose that’s fair.

2009-06-28-0110

Look, we’re matching again…

2009-06-28-0111

Once Loki decided she wanted to play properly, she was up for bitey chasey games – I love those games!

2009-06-28-0118

We look really angry with each other, but we’re just playing.

2009-06-28-0124

Body slams are fun too – need another big dog to do it with though.

2009-06-28-0125

Raaarrrr!

2009-06-28-0133

Yikes! Loki can look scary too when she wants to! I’m outa here!

2009-06-28-0134

Loki and me had heaps of fun playing together. Hopefully the next time we meet, she’ll want to play with me straight away, now that we are friends!

Oh by the way, Mum’s been meaning to do a post about going out to see the horsies, so hopefully that won’t be too far away. I get to go out with Mum when she goes riding now, it’s so fun and I can’t wait to share it with you!

Love and licks, Luna xoxo

Ahliah - Loki looks like me when I play, evil dog my dads calls me...

Jenny - Looks like you had so much fun Luna!

Allison (Dog Mom) - Haha! Eeeevil doggie faces! Looks like a great day with Loki! Wuv, Gus and Waldo

Boxen n Bella - We love to play just like that Luna! Body slams and chases and everything. Wish we could come play with you sometime but we are kinda far. Have fun playing with your new friend!

Denise Lewandowski - Hello, I'm new to your site...found you through Honey. Love your pictures and your dogs are beautiful. I just love the beach photos and the water is just brilliant! Denise

Angela (Mako & Koda) - Haha.. What great fun !! Awesome photo's & wonderful storyline as always :o)

New Friend at the Beach – Part 2

I love it when I spot Great Danes at the beach who I already know! Like this guy – he’s usually always at the beach hanging out with his big brother (also a big black boy) but this time he was alone with just his Dad. Mum told me later that his big brother was now up in the same place Kaya is. I hope they found each other!

Anyway, I just luuurrrve boys and cos I already knew this one, we started playing right away! Ready, set…

2009-06-28-0073

Go!!!

2009-06-28-0074

He is a really big boy, he makes me look little! (ok, so I am pretty small for a Dane)

2009-06-28-0064

Then, another friend turned up! This time it was Zeta the harlequin Great Dane. We see her quite a bit at the beach with her little brother the English Pointer Zac. There was lots of chasing going on!

2009-06-28-0066

Argh! Help, I’m sandwiched!

2009-06-28-0069

The other two had to go, but me and Loki kept the game going – check out our matching flying ears!

2009-06-28-0076

That’s not all that we had matching. When we finished running around, Mum noticed that I had a slobber string on my nose!

2009-06-28-0088

How undignified! Oh well, at least Loki had a matching one. I closed my eyes and pretended I didn’t see it.

2009-06-28-0090

Then it was time to play again!

2009-06-28-0091

Stay tuned for an epic play session between me and my new friend Loki!

Loki - Hi Lluna!!1! I had such a great time playing with you the other day - seems like weeks ago already. It was a great day to be a Great Dane, as they say down at Klub Kennel(slobber string required for entry)...I really look forward to going to the beach again and will do my beast to persuade Boss A and Boss B to drive my van down to Southport for another play. I love all the photos, even those without me in them - I hope we meet some more normal sized doggies on the beach again so we can all play together. Maybe we can get Ahliah sent up here in the mail so she can have a holidane on the beach. ^Oo^Loki

Cheryl - Luna you are a peach, I adore you and miss you sissy so much

Jenny - Luna that looked like so much fun! I love to see pics of you playing on the beach... well I just love to see pics of you.

Charlotte Reeves - We miss her too, Cheryl. :)
