There are those special times, when only a formal portrait will do. Whether it's a head study, an environmental portrait in the landscape, the true picture must show not JUST a dog, but THE dog. It is imperative for us, that each portrait brings out all that makes your dog an individual. The personality, attitude, everything that makes the dog unique, must come through, so that what you  have is not simply a representation of the breed, but the actual dog himself. .

   Good portrait work takes time, something we understand. The right location, choice of poses, and ideas of what you, the client are looking for, all come into our prep time.

   We'll approach the actual shoot, working from a sound background in breed knowledge, as one way or another, we have been showing dogs, and  photographing dogs for nearly 25 years .It's been time well spent.

   We couple our breed knowledge with a personal touch.  We take time to get acquainted with each dog we are to photograph, to fully prepare for the photo session. . We let dogs get to know us, quietly, with  one on one interaction, while we also get to know them, see how they react, how they think, how best to enable their personality and character to be expressed.

    To be successful, a finished portrait must have the essence of the dog, showing clearly in the image. It is true Art...living art.

From unruly pups, through elegant aristocrats and introspective charmers...
it's all in a day's work.



We're looking forward to working with you.
