PAWS AND PICS AT MoRA's Embrace Sculpture

This week I've been getting ready for an upcoming photography event. It's the 2nd annual Mathers Realty Paws and Pics event.

It's on Saturday May 12 from 9am - 12pm at MoRA's (Monroe Road Advocates) Embrace Sculpture. Cynthia Pinkston of Charlotte Life and Home is organizing the event and she and three of her colleagues came up with the idea last year. They wanted to offer a free event to the local Charlotte community as a way of giving back. Anyone can bring their dog to the event and they'll receive a professional photo of their pup! We had a great time last year and I'm really excited for the event this year.

GET CLOSE: Dog Photography 52 Week Project - Week 15

Get close is the topic of week 15 in the dog photography 52 week project. I love close up shots. I take a lot of them. I have a macro lens, the Nikkor 105mm and it allows me to get close to my subject however some dogs don't like the lens that close to them so I tend to back away and give them enough space so they're comfortable. So why then am I struggling to figure out what photos to post here? I am actually asking myself, do I have to post photos this week? Keep reading and you'll understand why I'm asking myself this.

Leading Lines: Dog Photography 52 Week Project - Week 14

Leading lines are the topic of week 14 in the 52 week dog photography project. Using leading lines in photography is a technique where the photographer uses lines to draw the viewer's eye to the subject. Sometimes leading lines can be subtle. Sometimes they are really obvious.

Cake Smash

Have you heard of a cake smash? They are popular for toddler birthday parties and for dog birthday parties.

Well it just so happened that our Moose turned 11 on Friday March 30. We have noticed lately that he is slowing down. We are cherishing every moment with have with him and we (who am I kidding... it wasn't we it was me!) decided he needed to have a birthday party. I decided to try a cake smash with him. I've seen some other dog photographers post adorable cake smash photos. I could do this too, right?

Re-edit: 52 Week Dog Photography Project - Week 12

Re-edit is the theme for the 52 week dog photography project. It occurred to me that I could go in an re-edit some photos I took back in December 2016 of a golden retriever puppy named Ivy. I thought of her because I actually just photographed her again a couple of weeks ago. I thought it'd be fun to see her when she was little and now all grown up.
