Dog and Blue Jeans…In Black & White

Posted on April 15, 2015

This dog was precious! I took this while 2nd shooter on an engagement shoot – this couple was adorable, but I couldn’t take my eyes off their pup. This was taken with my old Canon 30D, but edited using my new LR/PS CC subscription 🙂

Here’s another one – the lighting was harsh and the dog’s nose a little blurry, but I still like this photo:

Dog, contemplating.

I couldn’t resist sharing another shot of this photogenic guy. He seems to be contemplating the meaning of Christmas, but really he is just trying to move his face away from the camera. This was taken with my Samsung Note 3 (again – I can’t wait until my new camera arrives!).

Time to clean ears

Posted on December 8, 2014 Updated on December 8, 2014

Franky has such an amazing, expressive face. I love photographing him, but unfortunately he does not love cameras, so my photos of him typically consist of him looking away or off to the side.

In this photo, he is suspiciously eyeing the ear cleaning solution we are about to administer. The way he looks, you’d think we were about to torture him.

Fur and Paws

Posted on December 6, 2014 Updated on December 6, 2014

Whenever any furry critter is around, I will be the first person to focus in and attempt to cuddle, kiss, and of course take photos of them. I have 5 pets myself, so I have a lot of opportunity to practice. It can be very tricky, especially when they don’t trust the big metal contraption you keep trying to shove in front of their face. But, in the end, the reward of the perfect (or almost perfect… Or flawed-but-strangely-perfect) photo is enough.

Again, these photos were taken on my phone and filters were used. Not all of them turned out the way I hoped, but I still loved each one.

Fifi

IMG_7540small — While I love to photograph just about anything, I really love taking photos of pets. This dog, Fifi, could be seen with his owner just about every night on the Piazza in Cagli, Italy. If you look closely, you will see my shape in his eyes as well as two of the buildings surrounding the piazza.

Black & White and Tone on Tone

Posted on January 11, 2013 Updated on September 22, 2013

Franky (dog) is rarely willing to pose for photos, so I have to catch him when he is utterly exhausted. Ralph (cat), on the other hand, grew up with a lens in his face, so he tends to ham it up. That is why I love taking pet photos so much – even when they hate cameras, their personality permeates the shot.
