Olivia: Graffiti dogs shoot: Harlequin Great Dane

A quick peek at one of my favorite shots from yesterday’s Graffiti Dogs Project shoot with Olivia, the beautiful harlequin Great Dane, owned by my esteemed Seattle colleague and friend, J Nichole Smith, of Dane & Dane Studios fame (Olivia is the Dane & Dane mascot). Our shoot yesterday was, in a word, AWESOME. And Olivia? A Dream.

I promise to post more photos from our shoot soon and give you a behind-the-scenes story, but for now I’ve gotta focus on looking at houses for rent. I’m moving both home and office next month (staying in Seattle of course), and can’t wait to see where I end up. Going to look at an awesome house tomorrow, but it looks like I’ve already got competition. Wish me luck I find the place of Fergie and my dreams!

Kosmo & new baby sister Sophie (Graffiti Dogs Project)

I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph Kosmo and his new baby sister Sophie (the cutest St Bernard puppy you have ever seen) last month for my Graffiti Dogs Project, and feel so lucky that I got to both: a) do something I love, combining three of my favorite things: dogs, graffiti and photography, and b) work with such lovely clients and pets again (Thank you Josh and Ashley!). I look forward to many more photography projects with these kids again, and hope you enjoy their images.

This is funny. Sophie wanted Kosmo’s stick *so. bad.*. I decided to show you the whole sequence here.

Uh, oh, I think someone’s in trouble. I think someone is not supposed to chewing on sticks.

LOL, I busted a gut at this shot. Look at the look on Kosmo’s face!

If tongue length gives any indication of overall size, this girl’s gonna be BIG.

Graffiti dogs project

These are the first in an ongoing personal project aptly titled the Graffiti Dogs Project. This is the fusion of three of my favorite things: dogs, graffiti and photography. Over the next few years, I will be conducting a variety of shoots around the city of Seattle in front of some of the best graffiti walls on the West Coast, with only the raddest looking canine models. If you would like to volunteer your obedient pooch to be a volunteer for one of the shoots, please drop us a line at info@cowbelly.com. I look forward to the culmination of my images in one super awesome product. Although this is mainly just for fun, I have a end goal for a product I think y’all will love.

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!! :-)
