Champ

December 7, 2009 – 8:14 pm

Champ is a superadorable little tiny boxer mix. Just the right size to fit in your pocket, stick in your Cooper Mini or smuggle through airports. Ok, he might not be *that* small, but he sure is superadorable.

I like laying in front of the fire too Champ! Especially on nights like tonight, where it is below freezing in Seattle. Brrr..

I big time love this next shot. To me it speaks 100% boxer.

champ-07

Champ has his very own yellow rain slicker. Hee hee.

Wanna see what it looks like on? Champ proves that you *can* have fun in the rain while wearing a plastic hoodie.

I have no words for this next one.

I nearly peed myself when I spied this graffiti covered wall in the alley behind their backyard. “Can we, can we? Pleeeze?” I asked his parents. “Sure!” came their reply. Game On!

If you have a super well-behaved dog that will sit and stay on command for big chunks of time in unfamiliar environments, and would like to have your pooch involved in my graffiti dogs project, please shoot me an email to info@cowbelly.com with a photo attached and we’ll see what we can set up!

Dog. Snuggle. Heaven. :-)

Nicole thank you so much for having me out to photograph Champ! I look forward to getting your prints to you. :-)

Maddie

November 24, 2009 – 3:50 pm

I have wanted to do a shoot at the UW campus for *years*, and finally had the opportunity to when a client said “I’m totally open to locations- you pick!”. I’ve had plenty of clients say this to me before, but always forgot about campus. I couldn’t have had a better day (a break in the rain) or a better subject. I love Maddie!

Here Maddie’s mom was playing hide-and-go-seek behind the pillars. Maddie is trying to figure out where she is. So. Cute.

maddie-05

I nearly deleted the shot on the right because it was so dark, but was really glad I didn’t after I had lightened it up. Lol,

maddie-09

FYI: Maddie is an older pitbull mix gal. Super sweet and fairly shy temperament. Total momma’s girl.

Poor girl is losing her vision, but loved playing fetch. This resulted in some tentativeness when the ball was falling out of the sky, but boy was she happy once she got it in her mouth.

This shoot totally took me back to my days as a student there. You can bet this won’t be the last shoot I do on campus. Next time when there aren’t so many students I’ll get more shots in front of the gorgeous buildings. It’s such a beautiful place to photograph.

Thanks so much Sarah and Maddie for a wonderful shoot! :-)

Eli & Charlie

November 18, 2009 – 3:31 pm

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.

eli-charlie-16

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

eli-charlie-53

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

eli-charlie-33

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

Both boys with their favorite toys. These shots make me smile.

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

Willow- RIP

May 17, 2009 – 11:37 pm

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.
