South Central PA has so many great spots for dog photography!
And surprisingly enough, you don't always have to choose for the woods.
How about downtown Carlisle during golden hour?
Urban pet photography is a favorite🐾

Dogs leave pawprints on our hearts forever🐾
No matter if they are ours, or our fosters.

Happy National Dog Day!

📸 Capture the Beauty of the Season and the Bond You Share 🌟

As the leaves begin to change and the air turns crisp, it's the perfect time to reflect on the beautiful moments you’ve shared with your senior dog. Our loyal companions fill our lives with so much love and joy, and what better way to honor that bond than by creating timeless art that captures their essence?

🍂 This fall, let's make memories that will last a lifetime. Book your fine art pet photography session and create something truly special – because every moment with your furry friend is precious, especially as they grow older.

Are you smelling it in the air too?
Fall is coming and with that, it is time to go outside with our pups and what is better than to take the opportunity to get beautiful memories of this time with your pet.
My calendar is open for bookings, and willing to travel.

Recently 4 galgos traveled from Spain to the US and 2 of the girls spent some time in front of my camera to get some adoption photos taken.
Aren't these two precious?

We are working hard to set up the studio to open it up for your dogs.
But in the mean time, cooler weather is coming and we can head out for some nice photos of your pups outside.

The schedule opens up towards the end of August, so let us know!

This sweet senior visited us recently, he has a hard time posing, his backlegs will give out, but we managed a shot of his sweet face.
With seniors like him it is important to watch them carefully, keep sessions short and adjust to what that is possible.

Yikes, just did my first serious corporate headshot shoot.
Thats no doggy shoot for sure.
Gonna need an hour on the treadmill to get all these tight muscles loosened up again🤣

Who'd have thought, photographing men in suits😳

Feel free to contact me about pet photography, don't forget to ask about the Spanish hounds 😁

We proudly welcome Rissa Miller to Fang Around the Cauldron! Rissa will lead the opening ceremony promptly at Noon inside the Bond, directly after the witches & cryptids walk. Join us for this special ceremony to kick off the festival!

Rissa's storytelling expertise stems from extensive research into the area of esoteric history, including ghosts, witchcraft, cryptids, and folklore. Rissa believes the most enduring stories teach us not only about humanity's past, but also give reason to reflect on our own present beliefs and realities. She often leads ghost tours and gives lively history talks. Check out Haunted PA Online and find her offerings of insight through Tea and Smoke.

This photo was captured by the ever-talented Petra Postma Photography. You can meet Petra at her booth that will explore Galgos SAGE Save A Galgo Español, and how there is a need to help these precious hounds.

With the help of Rissa Miller, I have been venturing outside of my usual and recently went to do a test shoot with her and Nox, my galgo for her website Haunted PA On Line

There still is much room for improvement, but something I might enjoy.

And please check out Rissa on line, she does some really interesting stuff like ghost tours and tea leaf readings.

Another outtake from the recent photo shoot for Haunted PA Online and my downtown York Ghost Tours.

Want to walk with me? Tours start this week, Friday April 19 and then again on Sunday April 28. We walk from White Rose Bar and Grill at 7pm and tickets are on Eventbrite. Link at bottom of the page. And sure, you can bring your pup.

Last Fall I visited my homeland ad besides taking many pictures in the area in the Netherlands that I was born, I also got the chance to photograph the sweet whippet of a friend in a very historical setting, something I took for granted when I lived there.
It now is one of the things I really miss. Dolmen, centuries old churches and old restored estates.

Did I ever mention that I love black and white?
I know, surprising after those fall pictures, isn't it?

But I have a deep love for black and white, may have to do with my love for reading horror books and old movies.
So on occasion I will play and at times, the owner of the dog is up for it.

Dunia looks particularly royal here, doesn't she?

Today was about perfect, the colors at their highpoint, little wind, great temperature and a beautiful model.

The Dutch word for seal is zeehond, translated seadog, so I am not straying to far from my dog photography 😉

Dogs are not only man's best friend but also each other's. Their incredible companionship and the bond they share are truly heartwarming.

A new blog post, a new Weekly Waggin's

The picture that provided me with my accreditation as a professional animal image maker had a title that was way too long and still, it worked. I already knew it merited and with 2 more merits, I had made my accreditation. But this photograph had 2 more surprises for me. It made the top 10 in the Do...
