call me crazy but I couldn’t resist crowning these superadorable Boston terriers with their very own matching his and hers crowns before putting them on the homepage of my website. Expect to see more design elements like this in my blog photos from now on, and keep the blog bookmarked for more of this delightful pair.
Branimir’s shoot was done recently on the waterfront on a beautiful cloudless sky. Brani is owned by the nicest couple you will ever meet- Bill and Nicki Walters, owners of the fabulous and popular Pooper Trooper service. Bill and Nicki have a fantastic business with just about the best customer service in the greater Seattle area, and are passionate about the environment, which makes me love them even more. And it is no surprise that their pooch is a loverboy as well. If you are in need of yard cleaning services, please please give them a shout. You might even get to meet their sweet boy Brani.
I love the colors in the ones against the concrete, with just the blue sky in the background for color, and mostly shades of black white and grey in the rest of the frame.
Running dogs shots are some of my very favorites! I’m a big fan of dynamic pet images with movement. 
Check out the black heart spot he has below his ear. Awww. Totally fits this sweet boy.
As if the upcoming Chicago workshop wasn’t exciting enough, there are some super exciting things in the works behind the scenes. Probably won’t be able to post on them until mid September, but one of them will be coming up this week! (Maybe even later today). Stay tuned.
These are all shots from the Boston Cowbelly Workshop that took place this last weekend (Friday through Sunday) in the Beacon Hill neighborhood in Boston. I have lots more to share with you guys of each dog, but wanted to show you my top favorites first to whet your whistle.
Ginger. Boxer. Friday’s model.
Ginger is the sweetest dog, so it makes sense that she has the sweetest family.
Thatcher. Bulldog girl. Sunday’s first model. That second shot on the right is one of my very favorites from the weekend. That’s the amazing Liberty Hotel behind her, where we held the workshop in an incredible Charles River Suite. More hotel pics later.
Ginger was a *fantastic* model. I’ve got ‘behind the scenes’ shots of this shot, with all 16 of us photographers gathered around the sidewalk each taking our version of this photograph. It was a riot and stopped pretty much everyone passing by in their tracks.
Remi, short for Remington. Puggle. Sunday model. Here he is standing in front of one of the Liberty walls, which had the coolest historical information on it in stone.
LOL. can you see the smiles on everyone’s faces behind him below? I love how his eye is closed in the shot on the right. I have another one of him running with both eyes closed. Remi is a riot!
This is Marley. She is a miniature chocolate brown poodle. She is the spunkiest, friendliest, most social mini poodle I have ever met, and has the *best* personality. Plus she is a very pretty girl, which I love. We did Marley’s shoot at Lederman Field, on the north end of the Esplanade.
Awwww, love her pretty pink tag. And yes, I covered up her phone number, lest any of Marley’s new fans try and track her down. A photo shoot star does need their privacy you know.
And last but not least we have Buddy. Buddy carved his way into my heart instantly. I am a huge lover of big labs, especially labs that may be mixed with mastiff or another giant breed. I suspect Buddy has some English Mastiff going on. His feet are enormous, and he sort of saunters when he walks just like a mastiff does. Plus he has a really laid back, easygoing personality, just like a mastiff. I want a ‘Buddy’ for Fergie so bad it hurts. I hope I find one someday! Buddy is a rescue dog, which is the only kind of dog I will ever get, so it gives me hope.
I have many, many more shots to share with you guys. But first I have a boatload of stuff to do before the Chicago workshop this weekend! I’m back in Seattle to steal a few precious moments with my Fergie girl, and hopefully swim in the pool if the sun comes back out, then off to Chicago on Thursday. Hopefully I can post more shots before I leave. I have some Boston Terrier pics I am dying to show you guys!
Just wanted to give everyone a heads-up that I will be headed to Boston this Thursday, staying through Monday morning, for my Boston workshop, then flying to Chicago next Thursday-Sunday for my Chicago workshop. I had planned to stay in Boston and Chicago next week but the thought of leaving Fergie for 12 days was absolutely killing me, so I decided to swallow hard and book the super expensive plane fare home and back to spend a few more precious days with my girl. The way I see it, Boston and Chicago aren’t going anywhere, but my dog only has one life.
My sincere apologies to those who I was hoping to meet up with while there! I hope you understand that 12 days is just too heartbreaking a length of time to be away from my doggie daughter. Perhaps next year I can fly for pleasure and really get to experience the cities as they are meant to be enjoyed. This trip will be all business, 100%.
Will be offline for a bit starting tomorrow, but back with new photos! Hope y’all are having a great week. It’s sunny again in Seattle, whoopee!
Oh, and a few pics of my sweet girl who is my raison d’etre.
