You are Figgin Awesome 🌱 A pun post from my new friend Tails. Some of you have asked about the hedgehogs that you’ve seen on this account. Some background story: I (Sophia) work as a photographer and Amelia Hedgehog started as a creative project when I moved to Vancouver, Canada to be a photographer. I didn’t know many people in the city back then so I got myself a hedgehog for Christmas in 2014. Amelia was like a business partner, diva, and supportive friend. Amelia passed away last winter and there have been many changes in life and on this account since then. To me — hedgehogs have always been a special positive force in my life. They have always been there for me and in many ways, they remind me that I am not alone. I hope this account is a source of positive inspo for you and a reminder that you are not alone to pursue your goals and share positive vibes with the universe 💫

Hello friends, I’m excited to introduce a member to the Amelia Hedgehog family — Tails the hedgehog, who I adopted last weekend. Tails is an Algerian Pinto Grey hedgehog and just a little over two years old. She is friendly, curious and likes to make a weird snuffling sound, not unlike a hog. We are getting to know each other and it’s great having a hedgehog again. She also her hedgehog squat perfected. I will be staying with the account name Amelia Hedgehog since Amelia was the OG hog artist. I look forward to sharing more about hedgehogs, photos with Tails, and am excited for the next season of Amelia Hedgehog 😊Follow our stories on Instagram @ameliahedgehog

March 8th! That’s the Kickstarter launch date of Amelia’s Hedgehog Book. The title shall be a mystery till then 😊 One thing I am super thankful for in my twenties is making the decision to take risks, explore, and create as much art as possible. I’ve learned so much through making this book and tackled every challenge with as much spirit as a hegehographer can muster. This is definitely a project where I’ve learned to embrace community, to celebrate imperfection (so hard!) and to trust my gut. I’m beyond excited to share it with all of you. March 8th. Women’s Day. Stay tuned ✨

“If you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.” ☀️ A quote from my favourite author Roald Dahl and an update from me: Amelia’s photo book is going on @kickstarter! I’ve been working on it for a while and come to the conclusion that as much of a solo project as making, illustrating, and publishing a book may be — this is a project where I want to invite all of you here to take part in 😊 Amelia’s series started as a personal project between me and her. It started as laughs in my small studio in Vancouver and I can see it being so much more. Hedgehog puns, creativity, words of encouragement, making art and making amigo’s. Fundraising may be scary as heck but I really believe that all these posts and quotes we created over the years can grow into something really big 🙌🏻 I’ll be sharing more progress and behind the scenes in the next few days. Beyond excited to share more about what has been going on and to put something I really stand behind out into the world. Stay tuned and keep up the good vibes 🦔 #AmeliaHedgehogStudio

Thank you ❤️ These are words that best describe my feelings in the last few days. It really took the absence of Amelia to make me realize the community we have all over the world. The messages and comments have overwhelming. I bought Amelia around this time three Christmases ago when I moved to Canada to pursue my art. Amelia Hedgehog came to life during a time where I felt quite alone, in a new environment without family or people that knew much about my work. This week, I discovered that I was the least thing from being alone, and the fact that there are so many people supporting our work means the world to me. The departure of Amelia by no means calls for an end to our work. In time, there will more hedgehogs, animal friends and humans that join our studio. I am excited for that! As for this account, there are many photos I saved for her photo + illustration book which I plan to release next spring. I am excited to start sharing the photos along with these illustrated hedgehog quotes I’ve been working on for some time. I hope you stick around, I’m sure Amelia does too. Much love. See you soon! #AmeliaHedgehog #RIPAmelia
