TGIF! Everyone love Friday…especially when it’s a dog as handsome and unique as this Blue Merle Catahoula who, by the way, was rescued from Palmetto Paws. I’ve never photographed a dog that looks anything like Friday so I was beyond thrilled to have him in front of my camera. On a gorgeous day. With fun people. In Charleston. Word.
He really knows how to work his angles…
A cute, wet, orange face with a huge smile was send in an email and three girls instantly fell in love. No, it wasn’t a picture of some hot model guy coming out of the ocean with a fake tan. This is what happened when Brittani, Dana, and I got Lilian’s submission for our Charleston model call.
Lilian is a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever who apparently spends as much free time as possible getting wet and going swimming. Her mom was super excited at the thought of getting pictures of her when she was actually dry! Luckily for her, we were more than happy to oblige. :)
Lilian, aka Lily, often causes quite a stir when she’s out in public and people tend to flock to her because of her unique qualities. I’m personally a sucker for her happy smile…
Awesome!
I’m a budding intermediate amateur photographer and recently stumbled upon your Facebook page… Just wanted to let you know how much I absolutely love your work; your photos are positively gorgeous! I too love photographing dogs and am working with a local rescue organization here in southern California, along with having periodic practice photo shoots with my sister’s dog. My goal is to eventually be able to produce photos that convey a similar beauty and appeal that yours consistenly radiate. Thank you for your Q&A page too! What I wouldn’t give to be a fly on the wall at one of your shoots (but I totally get why you don’t allow that). I really look forward to viewing more of your photography… simply marvelous!!!
Beautiful set for a beautiful dog! :)
Simply beautiful! I love her frilly feet!
What a pretty dog! And I totally love the location too.
[...] sure to check Sarah’s pet photography blog as well as Brittani’s and Dana’s to see more photos of [...]
Last week I had the pleasure of making a trip down to Charleston, SC to hang out with fellow pet photog friends Brittani (from Brittani Croft Photography) and Dana (from Dana Cubbage Photography). Of course, what are is a group of pet photographers to do when they get together? Well, take pictures of dogs of course!
We put out a call for models and we had a wonderful response. It was REALLY hard to turn any down but we had to consider what we were looking for in each of our portfolios. In the end, we had four doggy models work it for our cameras.
We got to explore some of downtown Charleston during our shooting. To be honest, I was pretty jealous of the greenery and flowers they have there already…especially since I was following the dwindling trail of leftover snow on the trip down there. Soon Spring will be here too! Yay!
Anyway, I’ll start the showcase with Bentley. This little Frenchie cracked us up. He was certainly into exploring Charleston too but had a great attitude with the camera. I love how his tongue is a little too big for his mouth. Cutie pie!!!
Oh my gosh these are SO cute and I love how you captured his playful side! The one with his head through the railing is my favorite, and I love the little toosh shot! Awesome Sarah!
Thank you so much for these gorgeous pics! You did an amazing job and have so much patience! Thx again, Yvonne
This past Saturday we had a surprise snow shower that left a couple inches in our yard! This rare occurrence brought out all of the dogs, kids, and adults in our neighborhood. Lucky for us, we have a huge green space behind our house that is usually reserved for Eva’s and Sadie’s frisbee and ball time. However, when the snow comes, it is gathering central for everyone!
Of course I grabbed my camera to document the fun!
This was Sadie’s first snow event and she wasn’t quite sure what to think of it at first…
These are awesome! You aren’t supposed to be so good at snow photos when you hardly see snow. ;) Great! The dogs are having so much fun.
We just got dumped on & I know I should get out and photograph the dogs in the snow, but I can’t bare the freezing cold air! Kuddos to you. Oh, and the one of the three dogs running with the stick in their mouths is just awesome!
These are fantastic! I especially love the one of all 3 of them running side by side with the stick in their mouths!
Sarah, thank you so much for capturing all the fun! The pictures are wonderful and just make me smile, they are truly heart-warming:)
