Graffiti dogs project

A little personal project I have been working on, inspired early this year by this post on Rebecca Lansdowne (Art Paw)’s blog. Unlike my normally verbose posts, I will let the images here speak for themselves. (ok, and give you a little info in between).

BTW: my new favorite photo I have ever taken (yes, I said ever) is below. Can you guess which one it is?

That’s Fergie’s tail on the left. “Furr-gee-ee!”

I promise you this shot wasn’t staged (nor cropped). I was just capturing what I was seeing. 

Fergie & Jada.

Words cannot express how much I love dogs and graffiti. The combination of both here has me seriously swooning. 

Charlie, Seymour. (AKA Chaos and Trouble)

For my pet photographer friends, we were using a reflector under Charlie and Seymour to get some light underneath them. 

Jada does cross-eyed so well. 

(ok, I can’t contain myself, I will give you a hint on my favorite shot ever taken- I always save the best for last). Can you say WALL-SIZED canvas? WHOOPEE!! I LOVE YOU FERGIE!! :-)

 

Seymour & Charlie- precious puggie pies!

These adorable pugs are Seymour and Charlie. Their shoot was last Friday, and I sent their mom her gallery link this morning. She said: “oh my goodness!!!!!! thank you! we love them :)” Yay.

I had so much fun shooting these guys! I know I always say that, because there is never a shoot where I don’t have fun, but these guys were special because they are pugs.

For those who don’t know, I adore pugs, and wanted to adopt one before Fergie came into my life. I still dream of having a gaggle of them someday. I’d like a black pug and a fawn pug and a mastiff. And an English Bulldog. And a French Bulldog. And another Fergie. And a bigger house. :-P

Seymour. A cutie-patootie.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Charlie. Very outgoing little guy, although he looks pretty mellow in this shot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Goin’ for a walk and clearly having a good time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“All the better to eat you with my dear” Seymour seems to be saying.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wait- Charlie is a cutie-patootie too! He looks like he is being punished here, lol. Trust me when I say there are no punishments that take place in my photo shoots.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Normally I would take issue with the warm color balance in this next shot but I actually really like it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy, running, playful, precious PUGS!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Love the little corkscrew tail on Charlie.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ha! Can’t stop laughing! In this next shot, Charlie looks like he wants to kill me, but it’s just because his lips were stuck and I caught him turning his head toward me. Thank god for my fast lens! Hee hee hee…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Awww, and the little puggy paw-paw. And teeth. Two of my favorite things.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I personally find this next shot hilarious. Why? Look at the ground they are sitting on. The shot is totally tilted. But the boys’ heads are straight up and down, which means that they were tilted too. Too funny.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And one of my top favorites of them. There is something about a pug against a solid blue sky backdrop that I find immensely appealing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope you enjoyed my darling new puggy friends!
