I just love doing dog portraits! The dog I had growing up was part Doberman and I think they are such a beautiful breed of dog, so I was thrilled to take photos of Karen’s “senior citizen” Dobie, Coco. Coco was super mellow and although she was a little stubborn at times, we got some great photos of her. Such a sweet dog! :) (more…)
Cassandra is about to head out to the coast to attend dog training school, and since she needed a pal to bring along and learn with, she adopted Jax! He’s only a year old so he is exploding with energy, but even in her short time with him, he is already really starting to follow her cues; she is definitely going into the right program! He is so adorable, especially with the eye patch (too bad his little black mustache is fading). (more…)
Chris and Sheana were married in Pavan Park on an absolutely beautiful, sunny day with their closest friends and family in attendance. Jan and I got to spend a few hours with them that day and we had a great time!
Everytime I’ve met with Chris and Sheana, I’ve been so impressed with how exceptionally nice they are. And when they are together and can be all lovey, they are so absolutely sweet. They are just such a perfect match! I’m so glad I was able to share your day with you :) (more…)
Last week I met up with Michele, Gilles, Andrew, and Matt, along with their dog Krystal, for some long overdue family photos! Michele said it’s been many years since they last had them done, and the boys are definitely at that stage where they are growing up fast (and will be moving out on their own soon), so it was a great time to capture who they are right now. They were all super easy to work with, and the only challenge came in getting Krystal’s attention; she’s deaf, so it took a lot of arm waving to get her to look the right way! (more…)
This past Saturday Michel and Sara had a small intimate wedding with their immediate family and headed down to Indian Battle Park for a few hours of photos with everyone. This was the first time I got to meet their new baby girl Melina since taking their maternity photos, and I loved that they brought all their doggie babies along too (who behaved way better than at the last session!). Aside from the horrible mosquitoes, we had a gorgeous afternoon while we worked… we literally finished 20 minutes before the huge downpour though!
Everyone was so fun to work with, and there was so much cuteness… from Sara’s funky dress, to Melina huge open-mouthed grins, to Goldie snuggling everyone who held her… I ended up going “Awww!” a lot :)
Thank you for having me take part in your day, and sorry I didn’t bring a bottle of Off! (more…)
This weekend I was able to take dog photos of adorable Deuce, the not-so-puppy Great Dane. I had been looking forward to meeting him for a long time, and he is so awesome! He’s not fully out of his puppy stage yet so he’s still full of hyperactive energy and awkwardness, but since he’s a Great Dane he’s already bigger than most dogs. (When I arrived, I had to clarify if that was him in the backyard, or if they had a new foal. It was him.) He was so fun to work with (as long as I was able to avoid the slobber) and I’m happy I could capture his beautiful blue eyes in some photos :) Such a sweet, loving, big dog! (more…)
