Hank: Dog Session!

For my brother-in-law Steven's birthday my mother-in-law asked if I would be willing to do a Dog portrait session and of course I jumped at the opportunity! So meet Mr. Hank Akin....Hank is a Lab/mastiff Mix..oh yes that's right just like our Dog Molly! We loved Hank so much when I found Molly I couldn't resist! Hank is so sweet and gentle, but also is a great playmate for Molly. Not to mention he puts up a mean fight for catch with the tennis ball actually a few weeks ago he beat molly to the ball every time and Hank is twice the age of Molly! He loves to go in the back of Steven's truck and go anywhere with his Dad! so my Mother-in-law, Jackie and myself headed out to Wildwood park in Puyallup.....

Quincy: Dog Session!

Quincy is such a loveable dog and is always happy to see everyone! She lives in Tacoma with her buddy Jackson. While Michelle ( Quincy's owner) and I were in Salem, Oregon we found a park and took some portraits of Quincy. The last dog session I did was with Piper and Mable who are neighbors to Quincy. Michelle feels that if people can take their kids places why not be allowed to take Quincy! Truly Quincy is Michelle's baby and enjoys spending time at the park everyday with Jackson and Michelle! I was explaining to Michelle coffee table books that I'm working on and yes Michelle is ordering a coffee table book of Quincy that should explain the love Michelle has for her baby Quincy!

Soon Quincy and Michelle will be moving to Wenatchee together.

I want to wish Michelle and Quincy the best of luck in Wenatchee. Michelle will be starting a new job and she doesn't have any family in the area she is just adventourous! I'm sure there will be more fun portrait sessions together in the future!

Piper & Mable: Dog Session

It is so funny how these dogs let their personalities shine through these images. Piper you might remember is younger and has more energy than Mable. Mable is willing to sit and wait for piper to stop running circles around her! When we were letting the dogs play and just get some of their energy out Piper believed that it was her duty to stop every person who walked by us and smell them! This session started showing me that even dogs can express their feelings through photography.

Piper was loving the camera after she learne that Mable was getting attention while just sitting there.

She wanted to make sure we captured her "good" side.

I just love these dog paws!

Carrie & Piper!

These were some tired dogs!

Piper & Mable Teaser: Dog session

To many people their dogs are like their children Piper & Mable are no exception to this saying! Yesterday I met up with a good friend Carrie Brown who wanted pictures of her two basset hounds together. Carrie and Jeremy added Pipper to the family when she was a pup and they recently added Mable to the mix. Mable was rescued and is now 4 years old while Pipper is still a puppy at just over a year old! So we loaded up the dogs and headed out....
