Who wants to see all the bits and pieces of Queso? 🧀

This week was all about the details! Dog details, that is. 🐾 There are lots of super fun bits and pieces of dogs that are endearing, but my current fascination is with Queso’s wet fur. He’s our fifth golden, so I’m not new to soggy doggies, but there’s something different and special abou...

The Farmer's Market post is up!

This week’s photography task: a portrait. That’s my standard fare, so I felt the need to go a little rogue, LOL. I waited until Sunday morning to go on my photography adventure as I was finally able to attend my first Farmer’s Market of the season. (We’ve been camping all the other weekends!...

Another blog post has hit the 'net!

My goal this week was to capture an abstract photo, which is quite out of character for me - I usually prefer clear, perfectly sharp images. My only idea was to take close-up photos of Queso’s damp fur, as I LOVE how all the textures POP! when he’s wet. We camped by a lake again this week (more ...

The cell phone photography post is up!

Once I get the cell phone photo discussion out of the way, this post is going to be much more about our camping trip/lifestyle than dog photography – you’ve been warned. 😝My photography task this week was to take an image with a cell phone, and simply put, that’s just not my jam. 🤷🏻.....

Fiction Beer Parker

06/02/2024

I set up a table at Fiction Beer Parker's anniversary celebration yesterday. National Mill Dog Rescue was onsite too with adoptable dogs. Read how it went here:

Oh my gosh this was SUCH a fun experience!! Fiction Beer Company in Parker, Colorado was celebrating their one year anniversary and planned a plethora of beer & bark activities for the occasion. As such, they invited me to set up a table displaying my dog portraiture services. If you know me at all,...

Want to hear more about Travis the land cloud? Check out his post!

I set out to create a high-key image this week, a photography style where the majority of the frame is light and bright with minimal deep shadows. While these kind of images aren't typically part of my portfolio, I occasionally dabble in them - usually in studio or in the snow. I’m always up for a...

Check out George's (brief!) blog. 🙂

This image wasn’t really planned, so this will be a short post! 🤪 We co-hosted my oldest’s graduation party at a buddy’s home on Saturday. (BIG congrats Aiden – we’re so proud of you! 🎓👊🏻) They have three resident dogs and a visiting one, so a total of four subjects for me to f...

My session with Kenny & Andrew is up!

Holy moly – this seemed like an easy task on the surface, but when I went to actually take the images I had some trouble. 🤪 Even though I typically utilize some negative space during a session, it often has color or “artifacts” that don’t necessarily CONTRIBUTE to the frame. So after I we...

Jordan's session blog post is up!

This location is magnificent!! A hidden gem nestled between office buildings and a few residential structures. I heard a tip about it and immediately hopped in my car to check it out, and WHOA it did NOT disappoint. Because springtime in Colorado can be VERY fickle, as soon as I saw how beautiful it...

Hawkeye's session blog post is up.

I’ve been eyeing the clean lines and industrial vibes of this new office park for a while now, wondering how I could utilize the space to make a striking portrait of a dog. This was the week to make it happen! The star of the photo session? Hawkeye, an Australian Koolie with a personality as capti...

It's a puppy palooza!! Check out the blog post featuring Mosaic Golden Retrievers!

This week I was set on capturing the irresistible charm of puppies. I put out a call for local litters and struck gold when I got in touch with Mosaic Goldens in beautiful Boulder, CO. They had not one, but TWO litters of eight week old golden retrievers. 🤗 Breeder Uli, though totally occupied wi...

Chama's "adventure girl" session...

Hey there, dog-loving pals! Have you ever had an idea in mind, only for Mother Nature to throw a curveball your way? Well, that's precisely what happened right before my recent dog photography session with the adorable Chama! My original vision involved a more summery scene with boulders, but a spri...

Check out Eilah's (short!) blog post:

This week’s session was held in the heart of Castle Rock, Colorado, against the warm backdrop of the new library's rust-colored textures. In the spotlight was Eilah (pronounced eye-lah), an Australian Kelpie. Since you may not be familiar with the breed, Australian Kelpies are an underrated gem in...

Beep’s blog post:

This week, I embarked on an artistic journey attempting to create an engaging photo using intentional camera movement (ICM), more specifically, the challenging technique of panning. For those unfamiliar, panning involves synchronizing the camera's movement with the subject's motion, resulting in a s...

🐾 Attention all dog lovers! 🐾

I'm thrilled to announce that I'm diving back into the world of education to enhance my skills and elevate my business even further! After successfully completing last year's Embark class with a "highly commended" portfolio (check it out below!), I'm now gearing up for the next chapter: Emerge.

This year's course presents a fresh set of challenges that will build upon the foundation laid in Embark. To tackle these challenges, I'm on the lookout for a diverse range of doggy models. I'm particularly interested in working with dogs who have more than just the basic "sit" under their collars – those who can confidently navigate certain settings off-leash would be ideal, but all are welcome to apply!

For your furry friend's participation in this exciting adventure, you'll receive a complimentary digital file as a token of my appreciation for their time and talent. If you think your dog has what it takes to shine in front of the camera and you'd like to be a part of this magical journey, please fill out this application:
https://forms.gle/kUBAWtzzfqACaa2h9

And hey, feel free to spread the word to all your fellow dog enthusiasts! Together, I'm confident we'll capture some truly special moments.

Raven's session blog.

For many of us, our furry companions are more than just pets—they're family. When children grow and leave the nest, our dogs step into the role of beloved children, filling our lives with joy, companionship, and boundless energy. And what better way to capture the spirit of our canine companions t...

Here's Part II of Franklin's blog:

Last week, I introduced you to the adorable pug Franklin, and this week, he's back for another round of photography fun. Why the encore? Well, for starters, I couldn't resist bookending last week's "From Below" shot with a complementary "From Above" image. Plus, I wanted to showcase how a single loc...

I just realized I never shared Franklin's blog post here. 🫢 Better late than never!

Let me introduce you to the one and only Franklin, a redonkulously adorable six-month-old pug. This little dude has more s***k in his tiny body than a caffeinated kangaroo on a trampoline. 🤣 "Pug Patrol" Oftentimes people tell me after-the-fact that they were worried about how their dog was going...

The Lady and the Tramp blog post is up, go give it a look-see. 🕯️🍝 🐶📸

After noodling on this idea for two long years (pun definitely intended! 🤣), I’m thrilled to share the outcome of that effort. It stands as my second most ambitious endeavor to date. (For the other four, check out the links below.) "Bella Notte" DOG STARS Kenna, seen as “Tramp” here, may ap...

Scout's session is up:

52Frames Week 03: The challenge prompt: “Black and White”, with an extra challenge of “Shoot With Film” Black and white images are pretty, but I much prefer color, so I usually struggle a bit with this theme and usually resort to choosing a black and white model. But, I’m aware of this tre...

New blog post is up:

52Frames Week 02: The challenge prompt: “A New Technique”, with an extra challenge of “Shoot In Manual Mode” I've been immersed in the world of photography for quite some time now, and the quest to explore a new technique, particularly with a furry companion (a dog, to be precise! 😉), pro...

For 2024, I'd like to blog a little about each of my sessions, sharing a bit more info than I usually do on my regular socials. I'm already behind 😅, but I just caught up by posting my Self-Portrait session from the first week in January. Take a look:

Hellllooooooo 2024! It’s a new year so I thought I’d try something new-to-me: blogging! 🤗 For each session I photograph this year, I’d like to create a quick blog post about the experience to share online. I’m undertaking a weekly photography challenge (this’ll be my EIGHTH year partici...

Hey everyone-
A creative opportunity popped into my head, and I'm posting to see if any of you (or someone you know) has dogs that match the specific criteria for the project. I'm on the lookout for two dogs:
1) a large, gray, scruffy mixed breed dog with adorable flippity-top ears (preferably male) and
2) a sable, golden, red, or tan Cocker Spaniel (preferably female) to bring life to the concept.

Gender is flexible as long as your dog is up for some role-playing fun. 😉

You may have already guessed… I'm aiming to recreate the iconic spaghetti scene from Disney's Lady and the Tramp movie. I don't want to provide an image due to copyright concerns, but I hope you can picture it in your mind's eye. I've been dreaming of bringing this concept to life for over two years, and I'm thrilled to finally make it happen at the end of January. Although the details are sparse - no specific date, time, location, or dogs lined up - I plan to create this magic during the week of January 22-27, 2024.

Please help me spread the word far and wide to find the perfect canine duo! (I'm thinking Tramp will be difficult to find.) Additionally, if you know someone with a (safe) back alley that could serve as the backdrop for this project, I'd greatly appreciate an introduction. 😊

Note: The two dogs don't necessarily need to be from the same household, and if they aren't the best playmates, I can certainly photograph them separately.

Please reach out if you know the perfect candidate(s)! Thank you for your continued support, and let's make this project pawsitively amazing! 🐾
