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.
How can you be anything BUT incredibly cool when you have a name like Biscuits Jackson?
It is arguably the best dog name ever, don’t you think?
Biscuits loves to find baby slugs and roll on them. You go girl!
I saw the sign…I couldn’t resist.
- Yes! That's my new favorite name! I love the frog legs shot in the last photo. I like it when dogs lay like that.
- Yes this is the coolest name ever! :) Biscuits is also very cute love the shot of B looking over the fence!
- I love his name! The fence shot is my favorite. Your black & whites are amazing.
- Another lovely session :D
- Biscuits Jackson pretty much just ROCKS!! Love the photos Erin :-)
- gosh, what a noble face he has!! i too think the last one is my fav ;)
- can i have biscuits jackson, please? PLEASE??? ::makes puppy eyes::
- Love the processing in the Boxer Crossing photo.
- They are all great but 3 + 4 have no words. Yum.
- yes, that has got to be one of the best dog names around! Love the window shot!
- Kevin: Yes. My client told me that her grandmother said dogs choose their own names. I love it.
- That is a great name. Do you ask your clients how they came up with the names they give their pets? I really like the colors in the couch photo.
- Love that last one. It has always amazed me how some dogs can spread out like that. They should be little doggie gymnasts.
- Love the one looking over the fence.
