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.
Here are the winners of the Marley & Me DVD contest. The winners were chosen based on how much trouble was displayed in the image(s).
Thank you to everyone who shared their Marley(s). I loved seeing each and every one of them.
Winner #1: The one that made me laugh the most because I can relate to plant dirt + carpets!
Winner #2
And a few others that I loved and had to share!
- I'm sorry I missed this contest! I have some great destruction photos. I love the fact that the Labrador dominates in this photo thread!!
- I just saw "Marley and Me" last night; cried like a baby and laughed real hard. These are great pictures of wonderfully cute dogs.
- I love winner #2, but these are all great shots!
- Oh Erin, these are so cute. Thanks for sharing them. When I saw #2, it reminded me of the time Colt tore up a library book. http://www.flickr.com/photos/teriaphotography/2226343622/in/set-72157616467990805/
