A good friend lost her friend last week. His name was Barkley and he developed hemangiosarcoma in his heart and lungs. Fortunately I was able to get him into my studio (currently my living room) and we did a little photoshoot a few days before he passed. Here are a few favorites.
Trying to shoot more randoms this year and sometimes you just gotta go to the old standby of shooting your pets… Here’s my dog Charlee enjoying her Valentines day bone from her secret admirer. Below that is Widget, the mischievous cat from upstairs.
Awhile back my mother decided to start raising a unique breed of cats called “Naked” sphynx, called that because they actually have little or no hair. Perfect for people who are allergic to cats! So anyway, I snapped a few pics when I was in town last month. You can look at the whole gallery by clicking here. Or you can find more pictures and a lot more information, including available kittens and prices by checking out her cattery site: […]
So last weekend I went to a livestock show with fellow Portfolio Center photographer CJ Isaac. It was fun and interesting and obviously a good place to get some fun pictures. What amazed me about the pigs was how muscular they were. I guess it makes perfect sense, but I always thought of pigs as fat. These pigs were ripped! I liked their ears!

This isn’t a great picture, but I couldn’t risk trying to get a better one because I might not have been able to resist his cuteness. I refused even to pick him up. He’s a mix between Golden Retriever and Collie. I love […]
On Sunday the Maine Media Workshops had their second annual Open House. This is the event where people can come from anywhere in the world to check out the facilities and learn about what happens here. I was pretty busy most of the day, but I did manage to snap a few pictures of the Dog Portrait studio. This was setup using Canon’s wifi system to send pictures straight to the computer as they were taken and then they would […]
I was inspired by a photographer from Seattle named Erin Vey to try taking some nice portraits of Charlie. I was trying to capture some personality and for those of you who know my pooch, I think I did. I used autofocus and a few of these aren’t quite perfect. oh well… She was a terrible model. She was camera shy and wouldn’t hold still. It was fun though. These are my sister’s poodles. I had treats to try and […]
