Is Your Dog a Candidate for a Dog Photography Session?

Are you concerned that your dog can’t be off leash for a photo session therefore he can’t be photographed? Would you believe that most of the dogs I photograph are on leash? I remove it in the editing process. I, along with most of professional photographers typically only post “fully edited” photos.

I realize doing that certainly doesn’t tell the whole story and it can actually give clients the wrong impression so keep reading to see some before and after photos.

Your dog doesn’t have to be the most well trained dog ever to be photographed!

2018 - My Year in Review

2018 was an amazing year and I think the best way for me to explain it is through my photos. I decided to “try” and choose a favorite photo from each session I had. These are my favorites… because of a memory they helped create or because of a feeling I get when I see them. I’d love to know if you have a favorite. Maybe from these or from my instagram page.

In 2018, I had the privilege of photographing a lot of dogs. Most of them were in Charlotte NC but I also traveled and photographed dogs in Vancouver British Columbia, Dataw Island SC, Nashville, St Louis, Salt Lake City, Reno NV, San Francisco, San Diego, Asheville NC, and New York City.

Getting that picture perfect dog photo

Would you like to have your dogs photographed but are afraid they might not behave or won’t sit still long enough to pose? I understand your concern and want to explain how I am able to get that picture perfect photo.

Visit Asheville NC

Recently I had the good fortune of being invited to join a couple of other dog photographer friends in Asheville NC. Of course when dog photographer friends get together, we must find dogs to photograph. In a gorgeous setting, right?

Photography Tips from a Pro about "Bokeh"

Have you ever noticed how photographers like me blur out the background in their photos? If you look through the gallery photos on my page or on my Instagram page, you’ll notice most of the backgrounds are pretty blurry.

That’s intentional. I do it so that my subject stands out.

That blurry part of the photo actually has a name. It’s called “bokeh.”
