    EMERGE SESSIONS

     

    12 challenges to create gorgeous photographs of dogs. 

    In 2022 I set out on a Herculean task – participating in Unleashed’s Embark dog photography challenge.

    As one of hundreds of incredibly talented pet photographers across the globe, we were presented with 12 challenges – each a different theme of image to create, enter, and compete. While the primary goal was competition with myself – pushing myself creatively and improving the craft of pet photography – we also competed with each other. In each challenge you could receive a Top 20 or a Top 10 placement – as well as feedback on your work and suggestions for improvement.

    In the end I finished with a “Highly Commended Portfolio” highlighting work of a professional standard for my final 12 submissions, 4 Top 10 images, 1 Top 20 image. Now as we enter 2023, I’m going to do it again!

    The next round of Unleashed Challenges are called Emerge and there are 12 brand new challenges and I’m looking for the right dogs to participate.

      Trish & Hazel

      "I am thrilled with the outcome! This will get a very special place in my home."

      Krista & Scarlett

      "I had such a great experience with Courtney! She ensured not only that the pups were prepared but that I was also. I had a detailed checklist of what to do to prepare before the shoot. From how far in advance to get the groomed/bathed to Coloring/cutting my hair in advance (if needed), what color and texture of clothing to wear for the best results, recommended collars for the pups. I think she had everything covered. Courtney was very patient with all of us :). If you are looking for photos with your furry family, I would absolutely recommend her!"

      Liz, Kaos, & Kali

      "We were lucky enough to attend the Love Barks event at Pet Pleasers Bakery in Gainesville, and Courtney captured some amazing photos of my dogs. It can be challenging to get them to sit still, but Courtney is a pro! Everything was set up perfectly to maximize our time there, and she is so fast with that camera. She was even able to Photoshop my hand + the leash out of several of the photos. It was a great experience, and we look forward to doing another session with Courtney soon!"
