Al’s Car

August 25, 2008 – 9:03 am

I got to meet sweet Al last week. At 13 years old, he has refined with age into a very distinguished gentleman.

I have a big soft spot for older dogs and love shooting them. They are a little bit more mellow and have a lot of life experience under their belt … or I guess I should say collar.

I could have shot Al in his car all day long. Isn’t it fantastic?

    Love it! What a cool dude!

  2. Casia Fletcher   -  

    This is my FAVORITE pic of all time! It includes a vintage car, it’s colorful, and has HIP personality! What I wouldn’t give to have an image like this of my little monsters. Freakin cool!

  3. Laurie Luck, CPDT   -  

    Perfect car for such a gentleman.

  4. Kate Mefford   -  

    It is fantastic times infinity. Should be your new signature image.

  5. Annie   -  

    That shot is perfection!

  6. Melissa   -  

    Absolutely love the car! Great and unique!

The Stairs

August 24, 2008 – 1:43 pm

As a puppy, she used to sit here on the stairs, because she fit nicely there. She can still squeeze herself onto her favorite spot, although it doesn’t look very comfortable!

  2. Rachel   -  

    I have such a soft spot for older dogs. He looks so well behaved in the car.

  3. Laurie Luck, CPDT   -  

    Love the old dogs. Al’s an especially nice looking gent.

Tonka In 10

August 22, 2008 – 8:49 am

Due to a number of circumstances beyond my control, I had just under 10 minutes to shoot Tonka.

Good thing she had the most incredible and expressive face ever! I swear she has wrinkles that go on for days. I am a sucker for dog wrinkles given my Basset background, and of course Miss Gracie’s forehead wrinkles. Love them.

    Love the eyes! So expressive.

    How do you stop the flash from turning their pupils red or blue when indoors?

  2. Laurie Luck, CPDT   -  

    Love the wrinkles and the drool. Living with a drooley dog, you come to love (ok, tolerate) the drool. It’s comical sometimes. Like when he shakes his head and the drool lands in some obscure spot (or heaven forbid, on someone!). Or when it loops over his own muzzle.

  3. Angele   -  

    That profile image is wonderful.

  4. Heidi   -  

    tonka, perfect name. beautiful face. wonderful images.

  5. robyn   -  

    I’m a major sucker for wrinkles on doggies too (although I DO NOT like them on myself). THESE photos rock it of course! I want to kiss her lips! LOL I’m one of the few that doesn’t mind dog drool at all…gross I know.

  6. rik   -  

    that profile rocks, erin! way to knock on out with just 10 minutes…wow.

  7. Josh Solar   -  

    That 2nd shot is beautiful! I couldn’t imagine only having 10 minutes for some doggie pics.

  8. Beth   -  

    2nd photo is my fav.
    Her wrinkles look like coral!
    Too cute this big mushy dog

  9. Dennis   -  

    Love the profile on the third one Erin.

Pug in the City

August 21, 2008 – 8:33 am

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!

    these are just fantastic!

  2. Angele   -  

    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.

  3. Susan Dodd   -  

    Very cool, Erin, very very cool!!! Love ‘em!

    …And the pug!

  7. Melissa   -  

    Love the orange couch.

  8. kristie kulik   -  

    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!

  9. Wendy   -  

    What a great name - especially for a girl that loves her food. I love the picture of her reaching up for her food.

  10. Bonnie Berry   -  

    Don’t pugs just KILL you? The first one on the couch is priceless.

  11. Dennis   -  

    Oh my gosh I love pugs! They are so full of personality…
