Hooray! We’re in!
Yes, we’re recovered from our wonderful Grand Opening Bark Bash. The only complaint I have is only 9 doggies came. Apparently the dog parents wanted to have all the treats to themselves. I hope the four-legged folks gave them what-for when the peeps got home! But we were tickled and humbled by the [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
I’m aware that the trend in pet photography is more journalistic in style. When dogs are free to roam and play at their homes, or in the parks, they exude joy. Those are moments that family members wish to document and save, for sure. In the studio it may be a little more difficult to [...]
You’ve met our Frida before. Befitting of her stature, hers was the first photo posted on this blog, Let’s Talk About Frida Kahlo. Although she’s kind of new to us – we adopted her about 2½ years ago – this week was the first presentation of her senior-ness. We knew she had a little age [...]
Easy to see who is it here, isn’t it? This isn’t one of the proofs my customer chose, but it’s one of my favorites. I happen to know the Chihuahua (so do you-see The Mothering Kind). Yep, it’s Phoebe. She is looking at her mom and dad, not at the jumping, noise-making, toy-waving photographer, as [...]
To a photographer, it’s much more important to know the color of the animal than the breed or size. When planning for a shoot, I need to know how many subjects are coming, and who is to be in the shots. That information will get you started to planning for a backdrop. If you’re learning [...]
Meet Hope. Don’t let her butter-wouldn’t-melt-in-my-mouth head tilt fool you. She’s a tough cookie and very protective of her mom (her mom is protective of her as well ) But she was sweet, cooperative and willing during our time with her. Though this isn’t a get-up your dog would wear in everyday life, [...]
This personable little guy has the most faaaabulous tail! This is Coco. In some of the proofs his tail obscured his body! But in this one it’s just right. Coco’s tail reminds me to wonder if life is a coin flip. Remember the trick phrase, heads I win, tails you lose? Is life a predestined [...]
