Diesel





You know it was a successful shoot when you drive home smelling like dog food with grass stains on your jeans! Photographing Diesel was such a blast! Diesel is a one year old boxer whose owners got him from a truck stop, hence his awesome name. At first he was very hyper and excited to see me, but after a few minutes he calmed down and I got so many awesome shots! Here are a few of my favorites.

Bev and Jerry


My mothers friend Beverly recently contacted me about getting a portrait done of her and her husband. After finding time in my crazy schedule, we set up to do the shoot. It was a simple, relaxed shoot in their lovely home. I got in some practice with my studio lights, and got to know them a little better. Thank you both for allowing me to do your portraits!

Kitty and Bunny


I have just met two of the most well behaved dogs on the planet! Kitty and Bunny's mom contacted me about doing some Christmas photos for their yearly Christmas card. When she told me both her girls were young lab mixes I braced myself. Having grown up in a household with labs, I instantly thought of our happy rambunctious young dogs. When I got to the shoot, they totally blew me out of the water! Mom had the idea to put them in a cute decorated box in front of the tree, and Kitty stayed in the box the whole time! Bunny patiently laid down in front of the box, and even almost fell asleep! All of this with only 6 weeks of puppy classes! Absolutely incredible!
