      <image:title>Blog - Photographing Young Puppies Who Can’t Go On Location Yet - Meet Milo: Small Puppy, Big Studio Energy</image:title>
      <image:caption>Instead of postponing, we made a different plan. Just after Milo came home, we met again – this time at a beautiful studio in Athens, Georgia. Milo could stay safely indoors the entire time, and I could still create the kind of artwork his mom wanted for their home. From the moment he arrived, Milo walked in like he owned the place. We started on a cozy cream sofa layered with a sunny yellow blanket. Milo clambered up the armrest, all fluff and determination, looking so proud of himself. Leo hopped up beside him, the annoyed older brother, tongue out and clearly less than amused by this new little roommate.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Photographing Young Puppies Who Can’t Go On Location Yet - When Should You Schedule a Puppy Session?</image:title>
      <image:caption>If you’re hoping for photos during that very early stage, here’s a good rule of thumb: As soon as you know your puppy is coming home, reach out and get on my calendar. We’ll look at your puppy’s vaccine timeline and plan a session accordingly. For many families, we’ll do it in two parts: Puppy studio session while they’re tiny and staying mostly indoors Outdoor session later in the year once they’re fully vaccinated and ready for a big adventure</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Photographing Young Puppies Who Can’t Go On Location Yet - What This Means for Your Artwork</image:title>
      <image:caption>The goal isn’t just a cute photo for social media. The goal is: A portrait of your puppy on your wall that makes you say, “That’s exactly how small he was when we brought him home.” An album that shows the way they flopped on the sofa, chased their first toy, and looked up at their big brother like he’s their hero.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Of course this is happening. Of course the dog is the one in control. Of course this will now be a core family story forever. Because that’s what dogs do: They push our buttons — literally and emotionally. They derail our plans. And they give us the kind of stories we retell for years.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This year, I care less than ever about “perfect dog” photos. I care about honest ones: The dog who runs your house The dog who steals your spot on the couch The dog who would absolutely lock you out of your own car and grin about it I’m focusing on creating artwork that: Looks like it belongs in a magazine But feels like a private joke between you and your dog</image:caption>

      <image:caption>So here’s my lens for 2026: Not “Is this flawless?” But “Is this them?” Not: “Will Instagram like this?” But: “Will this still make you smile in 10 years when you walk past it on your way to the kitchen?”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>We’ll take a few “everyone-looking-here” photos at first. And sure, I’ll tell you where to sit or stand for the good light. But the best photos? Those come once you stop thinking about the camera. When you kneel down, scratch their ears, hold their paw, rest your forehead against them, talk to them like you always do. That’s when the real expressions come out.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How I Help Shy or Anxious Dogs Shine in Front of the Camera - “My Dog Won’t Cooperate” (And Why That’s OK)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Maybe your dog freezes around strangers. Maybe they bark at new places. Maybe you’re worried they’ll never sit still long enough for a photo. I hear this all the time. And here’s the truth: your dog is not the exception. I’ve photographed hyper pups, nervous seniors, and reactive rescues. Every single one left their session with photos that looked and felt like them. Take Wyatt, a tiny white Havanese with a big personality. He wasn’t the “bounce up to say hi” type. He was anxious, reactive, and overwhelmed in new spaces. His mom told me everything ahead of time, which let us plan a session around who he really was.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>One day your dog is all zoomies and muddy paws. The next, they’re slower to rise, they hesitate before jumping into the car, or their nap lasts a little longer beside you. The gray on their muzzle seems to show up overnight. That moment—when you realize they’ve stepped into their senior years—can hit hard. I see it with so many of my Atlanta clients. They look at their dog and think: I want to remember this exactly as it is.</image:caption>

And trust me - the things you’re nervous about now (how you look, if your dog will cooperate, if it’s “too late”)... they fade.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Earlier today, I spoke with Adam Greenbaum—the founder of Love, Baxter, the largest end-of-life pet care platform. We talked about grief, legacy, and the many ways we try to hold on when it’s time to let go. But it was one sentence Adam said that hit me: “I just wish someone had told me sooner what was possible.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How Love, Baxter Is Changing the Way We Say Goodbye to Our Pets - Why Love, Baxter Exists</image:title>
      <image:caption>Adam built Love, Baxter to make sure no one else has to walk that road without a map. It’s a space where pet parents can explore their options long before the moment comes—when their animal is still comfortable, still enjoying treats, still very much present. His experience is exactly why he created Love, Baxter: to help pet parents navigate end-of-life decisions with compassion, clarity, and dignity. Love, Baxter connects people to compassionate resources like: In-home euthanasia services Pet death doulas Cremation support Memorial product creators End-of-life pet photographers (like me) But more than anything, it gives families permission to talk about what’s coming—and how they want to remember it.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How Love, Baxter Is Changing the Way We Say Goodbye to Our Pets - End-of-Life Pet Photography Isn’t Just About Saying Goodbye</image:title>
      <image:caption>As someone who’s photographed many dogs and horses in their final seasons of life, I want to say this clearly: End-of-life sessions are not about capturing decline. They’re about celebrating presence. They’re about honoring the quiet moments that still matter deeply. They are a love letter to your dog - a way to physically show how much your dog means to you. These sessions are slow, patient, and tailored to your animal’s pace and comfort. They’re held with reverence, not rush. And they’re crafted so that the resulting artwork becomes more than a photo—it becomes a tether. A way to revisit the love you’ve shared.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Is My Puppy Too Young for a Professional Photo Session? - “But My Puppy Doesn’t Even Know Sit Yet…”</image:title>
      <image:caption>One of the most common concerns I hear from clients is that their puppy doesn’t have a reliable sit or stay yet. Maybe they’re not leash-trained or still figuring out how to listen when they’re excited. And that’s completely normal. Here’s what you need to know:</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Is My Puppy Too Young for a Professional Photo Session? - Tips for a Great Puppy Photo Session</image:title>
      <image:caption>Here are a few things I’ve learned after photographing wiggly young pups like Hap, and how I structure sessions to make them relaxed, fun, and successful. 1. Choose a Peaceful, Low-Distraction Location Young dogs can get overwhelmed by busy parks or noisy areas. That’s why I love using quiet, spacious spots like Indian Creek Park. Or renting private venues to make sure we don’t have to compete for your puppy's attention in a busy environment full of other people, dogs, noises, and distractions. . When the environment is right, your puppy can explore comfortably - and we can capture moments that truly reflect their personality.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Is My Puppy Too Young for a Professional Photo Session?</image:title>
      <image:caption>2. Prepare Ahead of Time Before your session, I’ll send you everything you need to feel confident: what to bring, when to arrive, and how to help your puppy settle in. Little things like arriving 10 minutes early so they can sniff around and potty make a big difference. My number one goal during your puppy’s session to make sure we do everything we can to make it a positive and fun experience for them. We'll also talk about: Their favorite treats (bringing a few high-value ones) Toys they love right now Games that bring out their playful side Anything they’re nervous or unsure about The more I know, the better I can tailor the session to them. 3. Keep It Short and Sweet Puppies don’t have long attention spans, but that doesn’t mean we’ll get fewer images. Quite the opposite. Because they’re always moving and making new expressions, I find we end up with just as many (if not more) meaningful images from a shorter session. That energy and unpredictability? It’s part of what makes these sessions so full of life. And who doesn’t love a sleepy puppy to nap on the way home from their adventure?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Is My Puppy Too Young for a Professional Photo Session?</image:title>
      <image:caption>4. Include Their Favorites If your puppy has a toy they’re bonded to or a treat they go nuts for, bring it along. These little details are part of their story - and they add to the story of our session together. I especially love capturing your pup with the things they love most while they’re still tiny. One day, you’ll look up at that photo over the couch and remember how little they were. And how they used to carry that toy around everywhere even though it was as big as they are, or how their ears flipped and flopped when they galloped through the grass.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Is My Puppy Too Young for a Professional Photo Session? - Ready to Photograph Your Puppy?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Why Puppy Photos Matter That squishy, adorable, razor toothed stage when your dog is still discovering the world only lasts a few months. From eight weeks old to just eight months later, their look changes drastically - and so do their behaviors, expressions, even how they hold their paws when they sit. Photographing this stage is about holding onto this short, precious time before they grow into their paws. It’s about bottling up the zoomies, the nose freckles, the way their whole body wags when they’re happy - all the little things that disappear too fast so you can relive them over and over as they grow. And, so you can flip through the pages of your album and remember just how cute they really are when they are being total teenagers and driving you crazy! You’ll never regret having these images to look back on. Not perfect, not stiffly posed - just your puppy, exactly as they are. If you’ve been waiting for the "perfect time" to have your puppy photographed, this is your permission slip: that time is now. You deserve a session are designed for real puppies - wiggly, playful, sometimes distracted - and I’d be honored to photograph your puppy.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How Minimalist Backgrounds Make Dog Photography Stand Outs - Why a Simple Background Makes a Big Impact</image:title>
      <image:caption>As a dog photographer, I hear this all the time: “Can we take Spot’s picture in front of some landmark?” And while those kinds of places (the Instagramable hot spots, gazebos, bridges, cool tree, funky buildings, etc) might seem like a logical choice, they often compete with what really matters - your dog. Too much detail in the background can make a photo feel like a tourist snapshot: your pup sitting next to a landmark rather than starring in their own portrait. Minimalist settings shift the focus back to what you love most - your connection, their expression, that little way they look at you. I work frequently with natural backdrops: soft greens and browns of trees, weathered wood on a quiet dock, or simple stonework. These backdrops don’t feel blank. They feel gentle, intentional, and rich in tone. With a shallow depth of field (where the background blurs softly), everything outside of your dog's presence just melts away - and we’re left with something truly powerful.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How Minimalist Backgrounds Make Dog Photography Stand Outs - Why It Matters</image:title>
      <image:caption>The goal with every session is to create images that feel like your dog - not stiff, not overly posed, but deeply personal and emotionally connected. Minimalist backgrounds help us get there by eliminating the noise and letting your pup’s presence take center stage.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Milo (the squeaky toy OBSESSED Corgi, Shepherd, Boxer mix) has been by Stephany’s side since law school—her emotional support through the pandemic and a constant source of love. In fact, when Stephany met Francisco, she says that she knew he was “the one” because Milo fell in love first. When Stephany &amp; Francisco made it official and got married in 2024, they knew their little family wasn’t quite complete. Milo needed a brother! And they found the perfect addition to their family with Walt. Milo's mom especially loves when he perks up his adorable ears, but Milo's a pretty chill guy that usually keeps them relaxed. The secret to getting those perfect ears up? My rabbit distress call—which had both boys perking up their ears in curiosity. What do you think? Has your dog ever heard a rabbit distress hunting call?</image:caption>

That's exactly why I specialize in heirloom-quality prints, framed wall art, and albums because your favorite pictures deserve something better.

      <image:title>Blog - Where do you draw the line on Photoshop? - I have a love/hate relationship with Photoshop.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Obviously, it's an incredible tool, but it's also at least partly responsible for an entire generation of people (ahem - women) who compare their bodies and faces to unreal standards created on a computer screen and feel somehow… less than. I can't tell you how often I hear "You can just photoshop that out, right?" during a session, almost always intoned in a kidding, but-not-kidding kind of way. But here's the thing: just because I CAN doesn't mean I WILL. I'll happily use photoshop to remove leashes and eye boogers and random distractions and the handful of treats creating a bulge in your pocket…</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Yes, Cell Phone Photos are Important - Ansel Adams once said that "The single most important component of a camera is the twelve inches behind it."</image:title>
      <image:caption>A while ago, I posted a reel on Instagram showing what my phone captured vs the final photo from my camera I delivered for my client. (There's actually a few phone vs camera reels if you scroll through.) And although I agree with Ansel - that it's the vision, not the gear, that makes the image - the truth is that even those of us who do this for a living have phones full of nothing-special snapshots (17,849 at last count). I wouldn’t trade these images for anything even if they are a bit blurry, poorly composed, and very blue. But, they also aren’t images I’ll be hanging on my walls.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Yes, Cell Phone Photos are Important - They're created with intention, artistry, and the goal of preserving a moment in a way that lasts forever.</image:title>
      <image:caption>They're the ones we print, frame, and revisit now - and in 15 years.  So here's my reminder for the year ahead: keep making snapshots every day, grabbing those images of them playing with their favorite toys, those hundreds of photos of them sleeping, and 1,000 other moments.  But also… Let's set an intention - even a date! - for photos that will be on our walls.</image:caption>

It reminds me why I love what I do and keeps me inspired to keep creating with purpose. January is generally a quieter season for photography and I’m using this time to rest, reflect, and dream up what’s next. I have some big ideas for 2025 - I can't wait to share them soon!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Why Canine Body Language is Key to Your Dog’s Photo Session - Why Canine Body Language Matters for Your Pet’s Photo Session</image:title>
      <image:caption>Every dog has a unique personality, and they also share a universal language of gestures and cues. Being fluent in “dog” means more than taking great pictures—it means ensuring your dog feels comfortable and safe in front of the camera. This approach creates a positive experience and beautiful images that you’ll love. When your dog feels relaxed and happy, their true personality shines through. Here’s a few of the canine signals I always watch for: Yawning: Not just a sign of tiredness—dogs yawn when they’re stressed or overwhelmed. A yawn lets me know to ease up, giving them a moment to adjust. Ears Back: Pinned-back ears can mean a dog feels nervous or uncertain. This cue tells me to pause and give them a little time to settle. Tail Position: A loose, wagging tail signals relaxation, but a high, stiff tail may indicate alertness, while a tucked tail shows fear. Lip Licking or Eye Contact Avoidance: Signs of unease, indicating it might be time to change location or give the dog a break. As I’m looking through my viewfinder - these are things I am constantly looking for so I can make adjustments. We can take a break, you &amp; your dog can take a little sniff walk, I can give more space, I can change a lens, you can offer a delicious treat.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Why Canine Body Language is Key to Your Dog’s Photo Session - Crafting a Dog-Friendly Photography Session</image:title>
      <image:caption>When we plan your session - you’ll hear me say, “We work at dog pace.” Here are a few ways I tailor each session to your dog’s individual needs, making sure they feel comfortable and safe: Letting Your Dog Lead: Every dog is different. Some dive into the action, while others prefer to explore and adjust. By letting your dog set the pace, we create a positive, enjoyable experience. Incorporating Their Favorite Things: Bringing along your dog’s favorite toy and super special occasion treats helps keep your dog engaged and willing to work with us. Embracing Patience: Great photos can’t be rushed. Some dogs need extra time to settle, and that’s perfectly okay. The best moments happen when we let your dog be themselves. Trust Makes All the Difference At the heart of every great pet photography session is trust. When I read and respond to your dog’s cues, I build trust between them, you, and me. This trust is the key to those magical moments—the ones where your dog is truly themselves, ears perked &amp; tail wagging, showing the spirit that makes them unique. As an Atlanta dog photographer, my goal is more than just taking pretty pictures. It’s about capturing your dog’s true personality and the connection you share. And that comes down to making sure they’re comfortable, happy, and, most importantly, feeling like themselves.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>As I worked on Sissy’s portrait for my own home, I knew this could be a meaningful solution—not just for me, but for so many pet parents who didn’t have the chance to commission professional portraits of their pets before they passed. With today’s digital tools, your cherished, everyday snapshots—whether they’re on your phone or Facebook or even prints slipped into old albums—and turn them into custom, hand-painted artwork. Together we’ll select the perfect background, design, and frame to create a portrait that reflects your pet’s personality and the love you shared.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - From Cell Phone Photos to Fine Art: Memorializing Your Beloved Dog in a Custom Painting - The Process</image:title>
      <image:caption>Share Your Photos: We’ll start with whatever images you have. From cell phone photos, to Facebook posts, to pictures of a picture - we can take what you have to create a final image. Paint: We’ll plan your portrait and I’ll start the digital painting process. I’ll guide you through every step and you’ll approve the digital painting to ensure the portrait perfectly reflects your pet. Final Touches &amp; Framing: Once completed, your portrait will be finished with hand painted acrylic brush strokes to truly bring it to life as a paining, beautifully framed, and delivered ready to take its place in your home.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The Surprising Costs of Caring for Our Dogs: A Real-Life Story - Lira’s Paco V-Neck Collar</image:title>
      <image:caption>So, TLDR, I finally decided to get her a V-neck collar like Lira’s. This unique collar design has the tag fitted into the leather of the collar, so they won’t dangle or make noise when she eats or drinks. As I completed my purchase, I couldn’t help but notice... the price of that same collar had increased by 71% since I last bought one just 3 years ago!</image:caption>

She didn’t know if she she could handle an end-of-life session; it felt too sad, too final. But after some thought, she realized she didn’t want to miss the chance to honor the love they shared while Peanut was still here.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Photographing Perfect Dogs - I don’t know when we decided that our dogs had to be perfect before we were worthy of having photographs of them.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Perfectly trained with perfect off leash manners… Perfectly groomed &amp; bathed with not a fur out of place… I mean, I love my dogs freshly bathed and being perfectly behaved (you know, when they’re sleeping)—don’t get me wrong …</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Photographing Perfect Dogs - I'm not photographing perfect dogs…</image:title>
      <image:caption>… or stuffed animals… … or only champion obedience dogs… … or even dogs off leash. I photograph dogs - imperfect dogs, stinky dogs that spent the first 10 minutes of our session rolling in a dead animal, dogs that only work for bribes (the GOOD treats), silly dogs, wild dogs, happy dogs, anxious dogs, reactive dogs, show dogs, sports dogs, working dogs, your best friend dog, real perfectly LOVED dogs.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Photographing Dogs on Rocks - The Up Ups Dog Photography Challenge</image:title>
      <image:caption>Photographing Hana the German Shepherd dog on rocks for Up Ups wasn’t my original plan. If you read the last post about Dogscapes - photographing dogs in landscapes - you know my original plan was to photograph Hana with the view off Preachers Rock at sunrise as the background. Alas, despite 4 AM alarms, 2.5 hour drives, and mountain hikes at sunrise - heavy cloud cover foiled our efforts, but I wasn’t going to let a few clouds keep us from creating a beautiful photograph.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - A Private Location for Dog Photography in Eatonton, GA - A note from Wyatt's Mom:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Thank you for doing such a great job with Wyatt's photos and album. I am so thankful to have photos of Wyatt that capture his joy and that I'll be able to enjoy for years to come. Advocating for him has been hard for me to do/learn, and you certainly made it easy and comfortable. Thanks again for being a safe stranger for Wyatt.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - A Private Location for Dog Photography in Eatonton, GA - Most of the private dog photography locations I have available for photo sessions moonlight as wedding venues on the weekend — ok, ok… really they are wedding venues that moonlight as dog photography locations for me.</image:title>
      <image:caption>What you might not know about wedding venues is that many of them are designed around evening light for portraits. I just love this gorgeous evening light filtering through the trees onto Wyatt highlighting all that beautiful fur. Heartwood Acres in Eatonton has a beautiful grassy lawn area with a split rail fencing that adds beautiful rustic charm to backlit portraits. The yard is large enough for a few action shots too. We were able to capture Wyatt in all his fur flying glory running happily though the field. (And PS. Wyatt remained leashed throughout his entire session. Leashes were removed in Photoshop.)</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - A Private Location for Dog Photography in Eatonton, GA - I love finding florals to use as a background in most every session when I can find them.</image:title>
      <image:caption>After we spent some time getting Wyatt warmed up to me and the camera, we moved over to the roses growing alongside Heartwood Acres. Wyatt’s images near the knockout roses remind me of a painted portrait and I love how soft the light is at this part of our private location.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - A Private Location for Dog Photography in Eatonton, GA - Having Wyatt’s session at Heartwood Acres, a private dog photography location in Eatonton, GA, allowed us to really create an environment for Wyatt that let us set him up for success.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Wyatt’s mom had brought all his favorite treats and his support grandma to help too during his session as we worked to keep him enjoying his time with me. And I never touched Wyatt. I mostly ignored him - keeping myself neutral. A few times he approached me for a sniff and we just let him do his own thing, no pressure. And Wyatt had a great time! He’s happy and relaxed in his portraits. He ate tasty snacks and quickly learned the click of the shutter worked like clicker training and the treat was on the way.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - What You Should Know Before You Schedule A Memorial Photography Session for Your Dog - All your emotions are ok to feel</image:title>
      <image:caption>Memorial dog photography sessions have a lot of different emotions. There is joy at spending time with your pet. There is laughter as you share the adventures you've shared. There is sadness knowing things will be changing. There can be anger because it’s unfair. All of those emotions are ok and it’s ok to feel all of them, some of them, none of them, or more than one emotion at the same time. Our goal for an end of life pet photography session isn’t to make your memorial session an only sad occasion. Yes, there may be some sad moments and acknowledgement of the loss you’re preparing for, but your memorial pet session is also a celebration of the life your pet has lived, the journey you have been on together, and the relationship you have shared. As we plan for your session I’ll ask you about your favorite memories, the things your pet most loves, and their most unique physical traits. I’ll use these to design a custom session that will help create a new favorite memory for you with your dog and let you hold on to those memories with an album of your most loved images. The end of life pet photography sessions that mean the most are filled with time to snuggle close, favorite treats &amp; toys, and most importantly - time you’ve set aside to reflect on the relationship you share.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - What You Should Know Before You Schedule A Memorial Photography Session for Your Dog - The images become more important with time</image:title>
      <image:caption>I had an end of life session for my horse a few months before she passed, but the image box of portraits I had ordered didn’t arrive until a week after her death. I picked up my portraits and put them on a shelf in my office. I couldn’t even open the box until weeks later. I needed some space between the loss and the memories represented by the photos. And it’s ok. Now that box and those images mean the world to me. I am so glad I have them, but for several months after her passing I couldn’t even acknowledge them - the hole in my heart just felt too big. I now find myself smiling when I see them displayed on the bookcase and can let myself remember all the hours we spent together.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 90% of Pet Parents Choose An Album from their Dog Photo Session - Choosing an Album Let’s You Display More of Your Dog’s Photos</image:title>
      <image:caption>The most exciting part of working together is getting to see your images for the first time, but it’s also the hardest part as you make decisions about how you want to enjoy your favorites. After all, art is meant to be lived with! Most of my clients find a few stand out portraits they immediately know are perfect for creating a gallery wall or a statement piece of wall art. But, there are so many other great images that you love too. Choosing a photo album from your dog’s session lets you display your favorite 20, 40, or more images. And the photo album means enjoying all the details, bloopers, and story telling images in addition to the portraits!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 90% of Pet Parents Choose An Album from their Dog Photo Session - Every Album is Custom Designed For You</image:title>
      <image:caption>This isn’t your grandmama’s photo album! (And I say that lovingly because I cherish my grandmama’s photo albums full of lovingly glued in prints). Once you’ve decided on an album from your dog’s photo session, we’ll start customizing! I’ll design an album layout highlighting your favorite images and telling the story of our session. And then we’ll go over covers. From cameo covers that showcase a favorite image like a frame to subtly beautiful blind debossing on the cover with your dog’s name we can make your album cover a perfect fit for your home. As an extra special detail we can foil stamp a special message on the inside back cover. It’s a the perfect place for the year of the session, your dog’s “official” name, or a favorite nickname!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - End of Life Pet Photography - The list of challenges can be daunting as you face the end of life for your beloved dog, cat, or horse</image:title>
      <image:caption>Anticipatory grief People dismissing your loss as “just a dog” Navigating difficult veterinary diagnoses Juggling specialist appointments for your pet Dealing with lost mobility Preparing for life after the loss For so many of us, our pets are who we spend the most time with, who we come home to every day, and our source of truly unconditional love. End of life pet photography can help you celebrate the life of your pet and create artwork you’ll treasure in the years to come.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - End of Life Pet Photography - Where to have your end of life pet photography session will depend on what you envision for the final artwork as well as the needs of your pet.</image:title>
      <image:caption>An Outdoor Location: Many of my clients celebrating the life of their dog choose to have their session at an outdoor location. Local parks offer beautiful natural settings and many can be accessible even for dogs with limited mobility. I compiled a few of my favorite places for dog photography in a comprehensive Location Guide. Click here to download the guide.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - End of Life Pet Photography - Your Home:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Your home can also make a great location. My clients with cats often choose to have their end of life session in their home as cats traditionally don’t enjoy traveling. Dogs with more advanced conditions or more severely limited mobility may also be best suited for an at home end of life pet photography session.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How to Hang Wall Art - Portraits, Photographs, &amp; Paintings - Like a Pro - Impact for Over Most Couches</image:title>
      <image:caption>Generally your wall art should be about 60% of the size of the piece of furniture it hangs over - or about 60% of the wall space if there isn’t furniture. If your couch is about 70 inches in length which means your art should be at least 40 inches wide - which is why a Impact size wall art (about 30 x 44 inches) is my most recommended size to hang over a couch.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>If you love the look of a gallery wall (a collection of wall art hanging together) the 60% rule still applies, but you’ll want to measure the outside dimensions of the full gallery. Here with this long sectional 4 Grand (20 x 40) size pieces look at home and the height of the vertical artwork balances the high ceilings.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Most mantels are between 55 - 75 inches in width which means your art should be at least 36 inches wide - which is why a Grand size wall art (about 36 x 24 inches) seems well suited for most mantels.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Yes, Even Your Dog Can Have Professional Pet Photos - Do most of your dog photos look like a blur?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Having a dog that seems to be always bouncing off the walls can be tough. You’ve probably found that the best photos you’ve managed with your phone are sleeping pictures because everything else you try results in a blur across the screen. Here’s where working with a professional pet photographer with professional level gear will really make a difference in photographing your dog. Super fast shutter speeds are capable of almost literally freezing time - we’re talking freezing the flutter of a hummingbird wing fast. There’s a reason camera bodies &amp; lenses matter - and a super fast shutter speed for your hyperactive dog is one of them!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Wyatt is a dog for whom life can be scary. He’s tiny and cute and fluffy and really flipping adorable, and that means people cross his boundaries a lot. They want to touch and cuddle and smoosh his fluff. But that’s really scary to Wyatt, and he wants to say no, and he can’t. So Wyatt’s mom is his voice and his advocate. Wyatt’s mom detailed during our planning that Wyatt is nervous of strangers and he battles a lot of anxiety and reactivity. And then before she got Wyatt out of the car she spoke to me again so I would be prepared for Wyatt’s needs. She brought all his favorite treats and his emotional support grandma to help too. We rented Heartwood Acres, a beautiful private wedding venue in Eatonton, Georgia for his session so we didn’t have to worry about strangers or other dogs during his photo session. I never touched Wyatt during our time together. In fact, I mostly ignored him. A few times he approached me for a sniff and we just let him do his own thing, no pressure. And Wyatt had a great time! He’s happy and relaxed in his portraits. He ate tasty snacks and quickly learned the click of the shutter worked like clicker training and the treat was on the way right from mom who was just feet away on the other the end of the leash. Working with a professional dog photographer means working with someone who has the skills and understanding to let your dog be themselves.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Yes, Even Your Dog Can Have Professional Pet Photos - “But my dog doesn’t even know how to sit!”</image:title>
      <image:caption>I hear this all the time - and guess what? Your dog doesn’t have to know any commands to have a successful professional pet photography session. Sure, having some basics can help move the session along, but there are beautiful images to be had of your dog just doing their dog thing. Dogs standing, walking, running, climbing, and exploring all make for beautiful natural poses - with NO training required. I’ve spent years working with shelter &amp; rescue dogs photographing them for their adoption pictures - like Dunkin pictured here. Many of these dogs not only have no training, they are dealing with a new place, new situation, and new people. My experience getting photos of these</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I’m an introvert and my wife says she spent the first 6 months of our courtship just trying to get me to talk to her. Meeting new people in new situations can be hard for us as people - even when it’s something we want to do and when we understand that it’s just butterflies in our stomach and the new thing is actually going to eat us. Dogs don’t experience that the same way. Shy dogs can’t reason that if they just get brave and say hi they might be rewarded with a new friend (or some tasty morsel). And your dog probably isn’t thinking about the beautiful pictures you’re going to have together. So here’s what I do as a professional dog photographer: I focus first on making this a fun &amp; positive experience for your dog.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - What to Wear - A Guide for Photos with Your Dog - Comfy &amp; Confident</image:title>
      <image:caption>Choose Your Photo Shoot Clothes that are Comfy &amp; Confident First What does that mean? It means don’t worry about trying to become someone completely new just for photos. If you’re a t-shirt and jeans kind of person - you can elevate your jeans and T’s, but maybe don’t switch to a lycra mini dress and stilettos for the photo. Take a look at your favorite items in your closet - if they fit great, make you feel good, and aren’t too worn consider wearing those. Or, maybe buy something new that still has that same feel.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - What to Wear - A Guide for Photos with Your Dog - Match Your Clothes to the Location &amp; the Season</image:title>
      <image:caption>Think about the conditions at the location where we’ll be photographing you &amp; your dog. You’ll want to be warm enough (or cool enough - Georgia summers anyone?!), have pain-free feet, and look comfortable in the environment. Be sure to check my location guide for details on how much walking, hiking, hill climbing, or paved paths are involved at your chosen spot! Plan for kneeling, leaning down, &amp; sitting to be closer to dog height throughout the session, so make sure your clothes don’t have any wardrobe malfunctions when you’re moving around.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - What to Wear - A Guide for Photos with Your Dog - Create A Color Story</image:title>
      <image:caption>I’m not saying we should live in a sad beige world, but neutrals are always a great idea - especially when we’re all trying to complement the star of this photo shoot — your dog! Earthy tones and neutrals go with pretty much every dog’s fur and every location. Choose a palette of 3-4 colors. Start with a couple neutrals: cream, white, black, gray, tan, khaki and then add 1-2 other colors found in the environment: navy, hunter green, mustard, blush, rose, sky blue. Jewel tones are beautiful for fall and winter while pastels are great for spring and summer. By choosing one or two colors that blend nicely together, and having the rest in neturals, the whole family will photograph beautifully together.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - What to Wear - A Guide for Photos with Your Dog - Prints &amp; Patterns - A Cautionary Tale</image:title>
      <image:caption>Mixing &amp; matching patterns &amp; prints is a tricky task, and it’s super difficult to do well. It can also compete with the pattern of your dog’s fur. Avoid large scale bold patterns and prints all together as they draw the eye in the photo. Subtle smaller patterns work best. Classic patterns are usually best - swiss dots, polka dots, plaid, flannels, and florals are great options - and work really well when the colors aren’t high contrast. BEWARE - Some fine details and small prints can even create a moiré pattern in the image which is a large-scale interference pattern on the image that can’t be edited out!</image:caption>
