Pawz to Pose Photography

12/15/2024

I am always so happy when some of my favorite images from an event are ordered :)
I always worry about some of the tighter crops, especially when I "break the rules" and cut off some of the subject. But sometimes, being able to focus in on the expression, or just the parts of the subject that are moving towards the lens has a different feel to it that I appreciate. Sometimes even a little more dimension. I have another great example of this that I will share later.

Regardless, I am so glad these images found their way home to be appreciated by the owner ❤ What a handsome dog!

Did you know it is the last week of fall? Ohio sure doesn't 🥶
Luckily, we still have some fall pup portraits to share :)

This session was pretty special, I got to meet my friend Ben's (top right corner) brother and sisters. They were so well behaved, their mom and I were able to complete their session with just the two of us. I would have two of their leashes while photographing the other two mom would position, and then we would switch.
Not going to lie, I was pretty proud of myself for being able to photograph while handling two dogs, but these guys made it super easy so I can't take all the credit ;)

The Holiday Portrait Event at Alpha K9 U Gallery is now live!
Emails have been sent out with instructions and the coupon code for the included digital download so check your inbox :)

As always, finer details and more intricate editing will be processed after images are chosen. That way I can give them the time and attention they deserve.

I hope you all enjoy your images, and Happy Holidays!

I am having way too much fun editing our Black Mirror Minis 😜
Can't wait to share all of them, but here is a favorite ;)

The Schaumburg IL NADD Gallery with Lakes Mobile Dock is live!

I am so excited for you all to see these images, and even more excited to edit them :)

Please share this link or post with your friends who also jumped dogs! Or tag them in the comments! Not a lot of cards were taken, so I hope everyone knows where to find the gallery. It seems like quite a few people registered online so I am hopeful! Even if you dont usually love indoor dock images, this location's lighting was actually really cool so I want everyone to at least see the images we created!

The Alpha K9 U dogs rocked their Holiday Portraits this weekend! I was so impressed ( but not surprised!) with how well the dogs did! Dallas had the time of his life as always, and ended the weekend with some dock time. If you are in the Indianapolis area, you seriously need to check this place out. Especially in the winter, they have training, boarding, agility, and an indoor dock. Plus, the owners and staff are just amazing people all around. Cannot recommend enough!

UPDATE: We are back home in Ohio and will be getting out most (if not all) of the outstanding orders tomorrow, especially prioritizing holiday images, and print orders. We are also almost done with the Great American Dog Show Gallery.
I truly thank everyone for their patience during the holidays! The cold shift has been ruff!

For now enjoy these adorable pups 😍 I know they put a big smile on my face!

He definitely understood the assignment. Cutest ever? Maybe!
Working through these edits, we will see if anyone beats him for portrait of the day ;)

A favorite from our annual Holiday Portraits with Dog Training Club, Inc. this year!
We will be using this set up at our Alpha K9 U Holiday Portrait Event in IN, as well as our pop up event Holiday Pup Up Sessions at Pet Supplies Plus benefiting Paw Patrol Dayton at :)
I am in love with the backdrop! (text was added in editing)

Thank you to everyone who came out and joined us at K9 Splash Zone for our Black Mirror Minis today, and a huge thank you to K9 Splash Zone for helping make it happen! We will definitely do another one soon for those who missed this first event.

I have so much fun editing these, I knew I was going to do at least one when I got home. Tomorrow I will be working on the Great American Dog Show Gallery and the Hamilton Obedience Holiday Gallery to get those out by the end of the week :)

It's all about perspective 🤩

The highest compliment a photographer can receive is a repeat client ❤

It makes my heart so happy to see clients the next year and be able to give them a whole new experience. You will see a few familiar faces in our 2024 Pet of the Year Album! One returning client, Winnie did a studio holiday session with me last year, and her mom had holiday cards made. Her coworkers proudly displayed them in her office, and were asking about new ones this year :) Heart melted when I heard that☺️

I think Winnie blew it out of the park this year, don't you?

Love them like family, photograph them like family ❤

Our 2025 Dog Sport Planners have been sent off to the printer!

Our estimated delivery date is December 10th, a little later than i hoped, but it's ok! We will still be able to get them out for the holidays. They would make a super fun gift.

As soon as i have them in my possession and can make sure they printed perfectly, I will list them for sale :) Everyone who filled out our interest form will have the first opportunity to purchase.

The feedback from those who saw the digital proof has been amazing! I think you guys will really enjoy them!

*they will be spiral bound not as shown in image

Can't wait to share the physical copies!
