Photographing a Food Chain…

Note to self:  Do not let bird out of cage with dogs in same room again.  Results not good… Tonight’s session was quite the crowd!  Mom, Dad, 2 kids, 2 giant schnauzers, a poodle, and a very terrified parrot.  I love working with showdogs and “dog people” though.  As far as pet sessions go – […]

Monica’s Pet Session

Monica came in today with two dogs:  Her terrier-mix, Cowgirl, and her mom’s Newfie-Lab mix, Chester.  Here are just a few from today.  Cowgirl was all about the photographs… Chester, well… notsomuch.  Actually, come to think of it, Cowgirl wasn’t so much into the photographs as she was playing with the fabric remnants and backdrops.  […]

Mary & her Boykin Spaniels

Ok, so I’m just getting to post this now…  This is Mary and her three gorgeous (and oh-so-sweet!) Boykin Spaniels:  Buster, Moe, and Gilbert.  What’s so cute is they all have very distinct personalities even though they look so similar.  I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to tell the three dogs apart when I […]

Jessica & Logan

This is by far the biggest dog I have ever seen…  easily.  Talk about a gentle giant though!  Logan’s a cane corso (apparently a breed related to the mastiff) and he’s the biggest baby ever.  Just look at those (HUGE) eyes!  Hailey, however, didn’t feel the same way and promptly got herself stashed in the […]

Kirsten & Abbie

These are just a few from tonight’s session with Kirsten & her blue-merle sheltie Abbie.  First, I have to say I was so relieved to see another sheltie as tiny as Hailey.  Our neighbors have possibly the world’s biggest shetland sheepdog, and I was starting to worry ours might be abnormally small.  Oh, and the […]

Snakes don’t have a scent, and other things I learned today…

Today was a very educational day for me. I learned a few things. First, I learned that you don’t schedule an 8:00am shoot for the day after a wedding. Then I learned that snakes can hear without ears, and that dogs often don’t care about them since they don’t give off a scent. And finally, […]

Bailey’s Engagement Session (with Valerie & Jim too.)

Here are a few from last night’s engagement session with a nice couple I met a few weeks ago. And they brought their dog… who kinda stole the show. 🙂 Meet Valerie, Jim, and their happy pup Bailey – to date, the best-behaved dog I have ever photographed. She needs to give Hailey lessons on […]
