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!

Santa Paws

Another Santa shoot? You may be asking yourself, why yes indeed! A local feed store wanted me to come shoot portraits for them this weekend. So many dogs! There were people lined up out the door. I graciously donated all of the proceeds to a local cat rescue, tis the season! That is the first time I have ever had to photograph more than two dogs at a time, the record for the day was five! Now for the Christmas cheer, here are some images from the day.

Ho Ho Woof!

Merry Christmas in November! I was asked to photograph pet portraits with Santa at a local groomers, and it was quite the experince! Dogs of all shapes and sizes, a couple cats, and the cutest little girl I have ever seen. Here are some of my faves from the day.

The Quintana Wedding

I had an amazing time photographing Johnny and Arciella's wedding. They are a beautiful young couple, and you only have to look at them to know how truly in love they are. Despite the cake falling, and the packed reception room, I couldn't have asked for a better first solo wedding. Thanks Johnny and Arciella!

The Murray Boys

Today I photographed the Murray twins again. These boys were my first baby shoot about a year ago, and I was ecstatic when mom came to me for their next shoot! We had a fun time playing with rocks and shovels, and got some really cute shots. I am already looking forward to their shoot next October!
