You may remember yesterday’s topic: the most versatile lens in your camera bag, the Nifty Fifty, that is – the 50mm prime. Meet Patra. I spoke of her a little yesterday as well. She growled at me when we first met, because she just doesn’t like strangers very much. Also, she’s a momma’s girl. She’s [...]
So you have a nice camera and a fairly nice lens. You want to photograph your pets inside the house, but the only light you have besides ambient is an in-camera flash, and you get the dreaded red or green eyes on your sweet little person. To the naked eye they don’t look anything like [...]
Uh huh, and the road to hell. Well, that’s the road I found myself on for the last three days. And it all began with a computer… The hours I’ve spent with the so-called technical support as well as my cuddle bunny, NO TECHNICAL SUPPORT, added 10 years to my life. YIKES.
Blaze understands. His intentions [...]
We are hurt, but we’re bold and powerful as well. Yes, we still cry, but we laugh too. Just like the sweet and personable Bella, pictured here.

I’ve been discussing high and low key photography of late. I post Dixie today for a few reasons. Notably, she is a Pit Bull, but we’ll get to that shortly.
This image is an example of what I call the high drama of the low key shot. When I set my key and hair lights at [...]
You’ve already met this stiff legged little fella in the Painted Colt post. I thought I’d post him with his mom today to celebrate what is being called a huge victory in the fight to save the wild mustang from near extinction.
The Secretary of the Interior, Ken Salazar, has championed the cause of ranching conglomerates [...]
We have just received word that Jazz, known to those who knew and loved him as Jazzy Boy, crossed the Rainbow Bridge on August 4th. He would have had his 10th birthday in a month. His family knew him as a very funny and goofy guy and have stories to prove it. Terry and I [...]
Here’s an example of rules are meant to be broken. I’ve found that most portraits of groups of animals are more striking when the subjects are posed close together. Touching. These three girls might have been even more stunning if I was able to make that perfect capture with these expressions, but what struck me [...]
Come on, admit it. Sisters Pet Pics gets the prize for the most adorable creatures in our studio. This little girl almost breaks the cute mold, doesn’t she? Rhome has found herself in a home with other Chihuahua mixes and a woman who understands them.
Chihuahuas, for those of you who don’t know any, will break [...]
