I am a dog lover first.
A photographer second.
By some random chance of fate, I was able to combine the two loves into the coolest job ever: A Dog Photographer
I grew up in a family where dogs were always an integral part of our lives and most importantly, members of the family. Most of my childhood was spent with various Basset Hounds of the lovable but extremely stubborn variety. We never had less than 2 at any given time, sometimes 3, and the occasional stray that one of us would bring home for a visit.
After a short stint doing portrait work, which I still love, I realized my true calling is capturing the essence and personality of dogs. Upon reflection, I feel that my time doing portrait work was not wasted. Because of it, my experience with portrait work flows beautifully into working with people and their dogs.
My husband and I are owned by the fabulous Miss Gracie, a 5 year old Great Dane who brings energy and life into our house. You’ll see her around here a lot, she loves having her portrait taken (at least I like to think so). She is a complete Diva and if you stick around long enough, you'll know what I'm talking about!
What an amazing adventure this has been so far. I’m so glad you are here experiencing it with me.
Snack is definitely a City Girl. She lives on Queen Anne and has the very hard decision of deciding what to do each day.
Hang out on my ultra modern, very fun, orange couch?
Play with my Squirrel or go for a walk?
I think I’ll stick with my favorite activity of all. Eating. Or waiting to eat. Or thinking about eating. The girl loves her food!
- This pug looks like my Laney! Always with the tongue sticking out! Great photos!
- I love them all!!!
- these are just fantastic!
- Love these shots, Erin. :) What a cutie this little girl is. You should let someone follow you around and film a couple shots of you shooting puppies! I would love to see that. :D Thank you, again, for sharing these.
- Very cool, Erin, very very cool!!! Love 'em!
- I love the orange couch too! Such a great photo.
- the orange compliments her fur very nicely =)
- ...And the pug!
- Love the orange couch.
- since I am completely and totally owned by a pug, I have to say these are some of my favorite photos from you!!! That first shot is to-die-for!!! That would look awesome on a huge canvas!
- What a great name - especially for a girl that loves her food. I love the picture of her reaching up for her food.
- Don't pugs just KILL you? The first one on the couch is priceless.
- Oh my gosh I love pugs! They are so full of personality...
