Brie

Ahh, sweet, sweet Brie. From the looks of her you would never guess she is sick. The poor pup’s body has been overtaken with illness, and her parents focus now is on providing the best quality of life for her possible. Our session took place before the holidays and was a very special Christmas present for Brie’s dad- a large 8×12 hard cover photobook with all 65 images from the session. These are a few of my favorites.

The colors in this next photo make me swoon.

Thank you so much Lori for giving me this special opportunity to capture your cherished companion for posterity. I will never forget her.

Eli & Charlie

Eli and Charlie are two super sweet lab boys who live out in Monroe Washington. We had a beautiful fall day for our shoot and I couldn’t have been happier. We all had a blast and I’m in love with the colors that came from this shoot. Mmmm color. :-)

The boys share their home with a beautiful parrot: Mr Peepers. He cracked me up the entire time we were inside because he mocked everything I said. He’d repeat after me: “noo, sit. Stay. Good Boy!”. Even when I made happy squeaky noises when I got a great shot he’d repeat that too. It was hilarious.

This is Charlie. He was the shy one. But the cute looks he gave me were sooo cute.

And Eli? Well Eli was all ham. (And I’m pretty sure this is the first truly horizontal tongue I have ever captured)

I will show you guys in an upcoming post how easy it is to make silhouettes from custom shapes using a Wacom graphics tablet.

Hope you enjoyed Eli and Charlie! More new dog shots + a contest coming up!

Laughing dog images

I have gotten more shots of dogs laughing in the past week than I have all year. These guys are awesome! The only thing better than a smiling dog is a laughing dog, IMHO. Happy pet photography, yay!

Super swamped with work at the moment but I had to share.

Enjoy!

Oliver, the dog who inspired this post. This shot made me giggle. Hard.
(Oliver has a sister pug and I promise to post more photos of them when I get the chance.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next up- Newman: Mr. Personality!

pardon the bad composition and background on this next one; it came from a decopaw sitting where I don’t pay any attention to what is in the background, hence the junk. Also, I had some exposure issues with Newman’s shoot because he was ready to roll straight out of the gate. Normally I take some test shots for a minute or two at the beginning of a shoot, but Newman was full of Kodak moments just seconds into our shoot. This was one of the first shots I took of him, just after stepping outside. Such is the case with pet photography! Mustalways be ready!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A very windy Seattle day yesterday shooting Hanalei the tricolor beagle. Love this shot. She is just as cute in person as she looks here. Wait till you see all of the flying ears shots of her!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And one more of Newman for the road! I have no idea what made his ears fly up like that.

this shot was horribly overexposed, but I did some quick photoshop work and managed a moderately acceptable save. It will work for the art process anyway! pardon the bad colors for my talented photographer friends. If I had more time I would have done a ‘real’ fix!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope you’re having a terrific Thanksgiving week! :-)
