First day in the new home

Lazy day

So famous, he has taken to wearing disguises.

People and pet portraits fall into the pet session rate, so I encourage people to come with clothes that match up best with their pets coloring.

Ty strutting big time. When I first meet a pet, I give them some time to show me their personality at play.

Ty's favorite activity - chewing! I'll let the puppy be a bit mischievous to give everyone a chance to show me where the limits are for playfulness and obedience.

Ty waiting to go to his first photo shoot. When the pet has displayed a certain level of calmness, we will go inside to shot some two-light portraits.

Ty posing for the camera. Ty gave me about 20 good minutes of posing, while still letting everyone know that he is still a puppy.

Yorkie puppies

This was my Yorkie of 13 years, Mugsy. Taken with a film camera in 1995.

Chuy hanging out with mom. As always, I want the pet to do all the normal things, which sometimes means being right next to "Mom" while trying to figure what I'm doing.

Chuy wondering what the camera guy is doing, but he has begun to venture out onto his own.

Chuy hangoing out. Chuy eventually feels settled enough to lay down on his favorite blanket and let me take as many pics as I'd like.

Chuy hanging out and enjoying the new comforts of home. I encourage all studio session bookings to bring their pets favorite toy, blanket or snack to help with putting them at ease for the studio shots.
