Fall is my hands down busiest time of year. But, when I get a call for an Angel Session, I will do everything in my power to squeeze a session in. That's exactly what happened with Jager, Kona, and Bubbles.
Jäger, a very handsome Doberman, was the main focus of our shoot as he was battling the dreaded "C" word...cancer. The cancer had already resulted in the removal of... (click on the image above to continue reading)
Those that have been following my work for a few months may remember Dozer's studio session back in August. Back then, he was way smaller but with the same amount of attitude (in a good way)! Now he is almost full grown and was ready for another photo shoot. Fortunately, his mom was the lucky recipient of a session gift certificate raffled off at the Dogtopia Charity Dog Wash. This time, she got to include her other baby, Sadie, in the photo shoot. I must say...these two make quite the pair! Sadie is a bit older and has never-ending patience for Dozer's Bulldog antics. I was shocked at how tolerable she was as Dozer tried to steal the show! They really compliment each other nicely. Like they say, opposites attract!
We started off the morning at the neighborhood dog park just after the sun came up. We played with tennis balls, stuffed toys, and the ever-popular orange Cuz (a doggy favorite). Afterwards, we headed back to Dozer and Sadie's house, making a pit stop at a neighborhood green space along the way. Overall, the morning was filled with squirrels, toys, digging in flowers, treats, oh, and TONS of slobbery kisses!
This is Dozer (on the right) and Sadie (on the left). Enjoy the sneak peek!
Dozer stops to smell the roses...
Sadie is IN LOVE with her mom. As you can see here, she won't take her eyes off of her...
I'm pretty sure Sadie was staring down a squirrel in this image...
Isn't Dozer a "fine specimen of the breed"? (That's for Dozer's mom) :)
Dozer is true to his name. He doesn't give up and will bulldoze his way to get what he wants. But, he always looks cute doing it!
Sadie's eyes are so gorgeous. Who could say no to a face like this...
Another awesome sample arrived last week using the adorable images from Spanky's studio session! Just like my memory boxes, I have been carrying accordion minis for quite some time. However, because they are one of my most popular items, I wanted to offer an updated book that has even more photo panels to show off more images. These cute little books are sized at just 2 3/8" x 3 3/8", perfect displaying on your desk, toting around in your bag, or giving as gifts. Plus, the new vertical orientation (vs. the old square one) allows me to crop less of each image while designing.
Between the front, back, and internal accordion panel, the new mini book can hold up to 16 of your favorite images. Your custom cover is printed on Lustre paper and protected with a matte laminate finish while the internal spread is printed on eco-friendly Art Recycled paper. An internal magnetic closure keeps the book closed tightly and a frosted slip cover protects the accordion mini from damage.
The new accordion minis are available now and come in sets of 3 identical books. These are available just in time for the holidays!
This little 6-month-old Bulldog has the best name - Dozer - because he bulldozes into everything! Now, just because he's heavy and has a low center of gravity doesn't mean this boy can't move. He can leap with the best of them and has all of his tricks and give-me-food looks down pat...
I think the image on the left shows off Dozer's "I didn't do it, mommy" look...
I love his baby wrinkles!
Stay tuned for more pics of Dozer! His mommy won a Pet Portrait Session at the Dogtopia Dog Wash so I'll be photographing him and his sister in a few months. I'll be curious to see how much he grows! Until then, stay cool Dozer...
