Here’s the much anticipated BARKography 2021 Year in Review. I always look forward to this blog post and I know my clients do too.

I went through each photo session I had in 2021 and I chose my favorite photo from each one. Sometimes this decision is easy for me to make and other times I debate between a few different photos before I choose my favorite.

Many times my favorite isn’t my client’s.

I always ask my clients which photo is their favorite. I like to know why they chose it too. 9 out of 10 times it’s the favorite because of the dog’s expression.

There is always a story behind why it’s his/her favorite and those stories are exactly why I love being a dog photographer.

I choose my favorites for the same reason usually too. It’s the dog’s expression. Although I do love a good outtake but I find that I also consider the background in the photo when I’m choosing my favorites. Is the light pretty? Is the background really blurred out which I tend to love? Usually though, it is the dog’s expression for me too.

I think some of my clients might be surprised by my choices. Although I know for a fact a few of them already know which are my favorites. If any of my clients are surprised, I’d love to hear from you. Comment below or on my instagram post.

Thank you to all of you for making 2021 so great for me. I appreciate each and every one of you so much.
