My first dog as an away-from-the-nest young adult must have been of Spaniel descent. She looked very much like Pedro, pictured here. Loyal and true with an almost knightly honor, Moya was my friend, my confidant, who joined me willingly on roads less traveled in the late ’60s.
I haven’t met many Cavs, but I have [...]
Meet Bosco. He arrived with his doting mom, and though he would have preferred having her closer to him…like, touching…he did quite well while she stood behind me. He’s saying, “Should I stay right here mom, and how long?” What a guy.
Sometimes when a client describes the coloring of their dog to me when they [...]
Will ya looka da size a deese? So sweet. So young; 7 weeks. Not even jumping around much. But they didn’t quite know what to make of the photog and all her equipment. We had plenty of help with this shoot. The more subjects…the more assistance needed, unless you opt to pays ya money and [...]
Posing your pet in the studio can create challenges that shooting in the field doesn’t. It may be a lot easier to have your assistant either throw a ball or toy out and have your dog run after it or have your assistant walk your dog out and call your dog back. Head on action [...]

The idea is to show the subject in tack-sharp focus and the background as a motion blur. This is accomplished by using slow shutter speeds, like 1/60 [...]
I’ve always admired the form of a Greyhound. Just standing, looking across the room, they might curl their necks in an almost giraffe-ian way, making the most elegant lines. Although I probably wouldn’t recommend this proof to my client, I couldn’t help but notice that even their tongues curl in an elegant manner. For some [...]
Don’t you just want to wrap your arms around this little guy and kiss him all over? He’s just as charming a guy as he can be. It’s a little difficult to see here, but an unshod horse, as is this baby, of course, moves by placing the heel of his foot down first, and [...]
Meet Tabitha Scout, known to those who love her as Tabby. You’ve already met her house-brother, Addy, another gorgeous Persian cat. See the Atticus Finch post. They are a couple of showy heavy-weights, for sure.
I post Tabby today to inspire discussion about photographing cats. Most pet photographers will tell you – I won’t disagree – [...]
We have just learned that Gidget, the Taco Bell dog, has passed away at a whopping 15 years old. Yep, 15. We know that the family…the real family…of this dog is grieving today and we send our condolences. Sue Chipperton, the trainer, said that Gidget would delight the crew on the set with her antics. [...]
