Beloved pets don't always have fur! Meet Eden, a glorious young boa constrictor! He took a very artistic pose showing his shape and markings beautifully!

I'm in love with a new set of digital backgrounds from Heather the Painter called Classical Neutrals and Golds 2024. Heather's backgrounds have been part of my digital editing process for many years. These painterly backgrounds perfectly complement the classic style I love to create in pet portraits. https://www.heatherthepainter.com/

This sweet young fellow is available for adoption. 8-month-old Pirhana had a spine injury as a young puppy that left him unable to use his back legs, but that doesn't slow him down! Whether running with his wheels or bouncing along on his bottom, Pirhana is full of playful fun and doggy kisses. At his foster home, he plays with other dogs and loves kitties too. Pirhana's wheelchair will be provided to his new forever family. If you have room in your heart and home for a very special dog, please contact Joseph's Legacy https://www.facebook.com/josephslegacyrescue/

Delighted to have caught this fierce kitten moment! Get that feather, Panini!

Such a face! The darling Panini

Friendly reminder to fellow photographers of just how narrow the depth of field can be, even at f14, if you are close to your subject. See how Carmen's eye is in focus but not her nose? The depth of field is less than 2 inches, and even her little face is longer than that.

Fun times being the photographer's dog and testing backdrops, lol

These seven beautiful puppies from Doodle Patch Farm will go to their families in just a few weeks!

I love the snapshots Obi's and Lulu's mom posts, and I asked her if I could create a fun portrait of Lulu giving baby brother Obi the stink eye!
