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.
This morning Gracie came in from outside with the sweetest little cherry blossom stuck to her nose. She walked around with it on so long that I had to take a shot of it. There might be a little leftover yogurt from breakfast further up the snout too :)
Have a lovely weekend.
- love it! close up doggie nose shots are my favorite...especially when they have something stuck on it!
- Spring is here!
- Dang it. That is precious.
- Danielle says: No fair! You have spring already!
- ...sweetheart...
- This is adorable! Love her!
- Erin, Gracie is the sweetest dog. I love that you share her with us. :)
