Dingo & Spirit

Some of you may remember Spirit from her photo here a few posts back, that also serves as the avatar for the Cowbelly fan page on facebook. She is the sweetest, cutest older pooch I have ever had the pleasure of working with. And her brother Dingo is pretty rad too.

Whoever said dogs don’t smile probably also thinks the earth is flat.

Dingo has the coolest collar. I love it.

Thank you Donna for coming and joining us in Atlanta. I had a fabulous time with your kids. Prints to come very soon!

Rocco

I’ve been super busy lately, as anyone who follows me on twitter or facebook knows. I’ve been trying furiously to catch up with regular clients, editing images and placing orders, starting on new art commissions and working with return clients. I also just got back from a 3 day trip out of town and off the grid for a fun editorial project you will see more of soon. Because of all of these things, I’ve had little time to blog. So I’m now embarrasingly behind in posting these images, but better late than never, right? I do hope you will agree. As it’s my mission to honor each pet I photograph, I will introduce you to each dog I met in Atlanta and Austin, then catch you up with what’s going on now.

This is Rocco. He was first in our series of dog models in Atlanta last month. He had a full fledged photo shoot on a dry Friday afternoon. So. Cute.

We shot at this great park in downtown Atlanta: Centennial Olympic Park. There were these cool waterfall things, which were perfect to cool off in during the hot day.

I’m a big fan of showing dogs smiling from the nose up, if you can’t tell. :-)

This next pair of shots gives me warm fuzzies inside. Love. them. Love Rocco. Loved this session. Swear to god I have the best job in the world.

Thank you Melissa for bringing Rocco and sharing his joy for life with us. He is such a special little guy and I was lucky to have been able to work with him!

Branimir the handsome dalmation

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. :-)

Willow- RIP

Never before have I witnessed as close a relationship between an animal and a human than Willow and his mom. It was a connection so profound that it was hard for me to even photograph. At the ripe old age of 19, Willow’s time had come, and 7 days following our shoot he was gone.

I feel deeply honored that I was able to participate in and honor such an amazing bond. Willow this post is my tribute to you little buddy. May you dream of fish and butterflies for all time and may your heart be alight with the love for you that continues on now and forever.

A gorgeous stained glass art piece Willow’s mom had made of her little buddy who had been with her since middle school.
