Celebrating National Dog Day with a behind-the-scenes look at some amazing pups I’ve had the pleasure of photographing since bouncing back from spinal surgery. It’s been a journey, but these furry faces have made every moment worth it. From the goofy grins to those soulful stares, there’s nothing quite like capturing the bond between a dog and their human. Ready to create some lasting memories with your pup? Let’s make it happen—book your session today!
NAME THAT MOVIE!
I have never been a button person but it kicked off last year with the Shutterhound pin, then the Momo pin, now there’s a Crystal Coast Dog one and my favorite are the Eames and Maddox ones that Anne Green Designs illustrated and I had made into acrylic pins via @stickermule.
Now I want to trade! Kinda like the whole Disney pin trading thing. IYKYK. Those people take it serious.
I’m in LOVE with this frame. It may be small but it’s such a statement! Plus the little details like the torn edges on the print, swoon! 😍
Bronze frame and poppies , I’m here for it!
Tell me, do you still frame your portraits?!? Don’t let them just live on your phone.

We got this image in less than 5 minutes; it took us longer to talk to the tree stump. We had those gorgeous blue skies behind Wild the Wolfdog and rain on top of us.
It’s not often that I could have a 6 month old off leash, but Wild’s mom is a dog trainer and he really likes making mom happy. Or maybe it’s the yummy treats keeping him there. 🤣
What motivates your dog? Toy or treats?
I have people say, “my dog is too young, not obedient, can’t be off leash..” and the list goes on. Believe it or not most of the dogs I photograph are just regular pets, not award winning trick dogs. I have lots of tool to work with even the most challenging of dogs.Our cute model, Muffin, is only 4 months old and we were able to use the leash to guide her where we needed for the photo, but don’t worry. We took lots of breaks with little Ms Muffin and gave her plenty of yummy treats! #dogphotographer #beforeandafter #crystalcoastdog
Since my surgery it’s been hard to give the boys the attention they are used to from me. So, today we had some yummy treats just for the fun of it. As soon as I grabbed the bag of @stellaandchewys Eames started dancing.
I wish I got that on video but only so many hands, ya know.
Maddox even have a few old man barks of excitement!
Forget the milkshakes, just the sound of that red bag brings the boys (well, boy dogs) running. Okay, that was corny. But they do love their @stellaandchewys.
Is there a sound that your dogs recognize that makes them come running?! Let me know in the comments.

Running some quick errands and Eames was happy to tagalong. We worked on his obedience first then he got some love before we left for being a good boy.

This goofy pup hates to have a bath but loves chasing waves and gets super excited to bite the water from the hose.
