Michele Copen
has perfectly captured the whimsical, sassy, irreverent, and
oh-so loving charm of the French Bulldog in this stunning
book. In the almost 20 years I have been smitten with
Frenchies, no one has ever perfectly photographed French
Bulldogs moving, jumping, running, and playing like Michele
has. The photographs - the captions, everything is
wonderfully done and evokes such a range of emotion. I
caught myself smiling, laughing, and even wiping a tear away
as I pored over the pages. |

Yes, Michele
has taken the essence of everything that is French Bulldog
and enclosed it within the pages of this treasure. Michele,
thank you for this priceless gift to the world of French
Bulldogs. |

Just forget
the show photos and studio portraits. Michele Copen has,
with this remarkable book, showed us the proper way to
convey Frenchieness in images. Whether eating, sleeping,
playing, cuddling, hassling each other, or engaged in any of
their other myriad activities, the French Bulldogs in these
photographs perfectly illustrate why those of us with
Frenchies consider them the best breed of dog in the world.
With this book, Michele has given our breed, and our fancy a
precious gift and we all owe her our thanks. |

Michele Copen,
one of our very talented members has created a book about
French Bulldogs called “A French Bulldog for Every
Season.” Let me say her book goes beyond the usual
health and care of Frenchies and enters into their own
wonderful world through some of the most stunning photos you
will ever see. This is definitely a book all Frenchie lovers
should have. It’s absolutely beautiful. |

Michele,
As always, those photos are just great! I’m not an art
critic by any stretch, but I love art or photos that make
you FEEL something....and your photos do that. And your
photos invariably evoke some kind of emotion......laughing,
a feeling of awe, or whatever....and many of them make you
want to keep looking at them, which I think is a sign of a
great photograph (or work of art). |

Michele,
The photos brought tears to my eyes. It is almost as if my
love for my dogs individuality shines thru in each picture,
absolutely stunning!! I keep going back and looking at each
picture again and again. Thank you. |

| I have had
the pleasure of accompanying Michele while shooting in our
parts of Canada. The resulting pictures have exceeded my
expectations, showing off our dogs with amazing details and
capturing the essence of their moods and actions. A very
exciting perspective on Frenchies! |

| They say an
artist’s work is a window to their soul. This book not only
presents the beauty and fun loving side of Frenchies but it
also clearly reveals the deep love Michele has for the
breed. I’ve been fortunate enough to watch her perform magic
with her camera. Her gift is the ability to capture these
amazing dogs in action and make you “feel” it in the photo.
I think it’s very rare to actually be moved by photography
talent such as this. When you reach the last page of this
book . . .deep sigh! |

Michele,
It was a treat watching you work. The photos are FABULOUS.
You have captured their human side with the expression and
movement that makes them such little clowns. Thank you for
allowing me and my Frenchies to be a part of your book.
Always a friend because of one little Frenchie. |
