Dudley and Mops’ Session is Up!

My work here is done – now it falls to Mops & Dudley’s parents to choose their favorite images from the session they won at PAWS Wagfest 2011. Better them than me! It’s hard to pick a favorite – this is one of mine. Feel free to chime in – what’s yours?

Out of the Mouths of Babes…

“Momma, you ‘upposed to take pictures of DOGS for you work. Where dogs?” My three year old (with a mild speech impediment, but she’s 3, it’s ok) asked in surprise yesterday while I was working on the post with pictures of Baby E (below, if you missed them!). Touche’ Little Bean. Glad to know I’m not the only one enjoying this! Oh, and if anyone knows how I can convince her she’s not getting a “poodle doggie” for her birthday, that would be great. We might have to give the Bichon a creative haircut…

One of these things is not like the others…

Oh, Baby!

 So this sweet thing is not a typical FourFootPhotography client…you will notice an alarming lack of fur and only 2 feet, but isn’t she adorable nonetheless? I was lucky enough to take her 6 month pictures, as she belongs to my neighbor and friend. Can you even stand those blue eyes?

Dudley & Mops – Paws Wagfest 2011 Contest Winners!

Here is a sneak peek from my session with Dudley and Mops, the winners of FourFootPhotography’s Paws Wagfest 2011 Photo Contest! While I had to wait for my supermodels to return from their Mexican vacation for our shoot, it was soooo worth the wait, I think you’ll agree! They came back tan (especially Mops), refreshed and, ahem, ready for their close-ups. Far from being a diva, Mops patiently showed Dudley (the fawn), who is only 6 months old, the ropes. He is obviously both a natural and a quick study. Supermodels just keep getting younger and younger! For those of you who know me personally, how much fun was it for me to get my pug on?!

Tender Touch Clinic

 

Coming up August 20, Tender Touch Animal Hospital in Poulsbo will be having an open house! This is your chance to see the “behind the scenes” at the clinic, sample treats, enter a raffle and have your pet’s photo taken by FourFootPhotography, with proceeds benefitting Kitsap County Humane Society. It was my priviledge to watch Dr Monica and her kind staff in action. Cool beans!

Prancer & Tommie Meet The Pawpurrazzi!

I have to admit, I LOVE a challenge! I firmly believe the only way to learn and grow is to push yourself. When I met Prancer’s mom at Wagfest, she said, “You won’t get a picture of my dog. He won’t look at a camera.” Well, quite frankly, a lot of people say that, but she does have a case! Prancer is a darling, sweet little guy. Not oppositional at all – until you pull out a camera! He was NOT going to do it, but I hope you’ll agree, we convinced him. He actually went a little “Vogue” on us in the end. His cousin, Tommie Tequila, is a rescued greyhound, and extraordinarily shy. He is one lucky dog – his mom works with a rescue group and fosters other dogs. Aren’t they beautiful? I had such a lovely time with them, their moms, and THEIR mom. I love my job.
