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!

Puccini

I wanted to share a couple of shots of Puccini from the weekend of 10/13.

His shoot was a sitting to get shots for the Decopaw art. Whenever I do these sittings I have to switch tracks in my brain from ‘regular’ dog photography to ‘dog photos for art’, which aren’t necessarily the same.

I ended up with several shots of Puccini that would make pretty prints, but not work so well for the art process, so I wanted to share those here.

Puccini is 14 years old going on 14 months, and one of the most interesting looking little guys I had ever met.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Puccini lives in the neatest little condo complex on the top of Queen Anne hill. It looks like something you would find in LA- a small grouping of early 20th century Spanish-style condos surrounding a pretty courtyard complete with fountain and palm trees. I fell in love with Puccini’s home and only wish I had taken more pictures of the complex. But alas, I was there for the pooch so my focus was on him (pun intended, ha ha ha).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Puccini was positively MAD for his frisbee. We had an absolute blast tossing it around for him. I’ve never seen a 14 year old dog move so fast.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Puccini was a former street doggie, and in the shot below he looks like a vagabond that just hopped off a train somewhere and landed on the doorstep of this home. He is so cool….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I will try and remember to post Puccini’s art proofs here when I am done.

Hope you enjoyed this little guy and are having a fabulous Monday! It’s sunny in Seattle- whoopee! :-)
