I love photographing seniors – and I really love when they bring their dogs :). Madeline, her sister, & I headed to their grandparents’ farm to do her photos in their field west of Bayfield to shoot Madeline’s grad session. We had a great time hiding behind the hay bales to give ourselves some shade […]
I’ve started designing some t shirts over at TeeSpring – and I’m having a blast doing it :). The cool thing with TeeSpring is that the shirts are only available for a few days at a time. That way you can come up with newer and great items. This is my first one: Comfort and […]
When Annie contacted me about her and Andrew’s engagement session, she mentioned that their dog was like family – and he is definitely their child! As my dogs are also my children, I knew I liked these two (and Chevy!) immediately. These three were so great to capture in the moment. We spent our time […]
A few months ago I visited The Humane Society for Seattle/King County for some of my shelter sessions. When Jaime and I were shooting there we met Bart. Bart is such an incredibly sweet special needs puppy with Spina Bifida. Here is Bart’s profile from his Seattle Humane page: Bart is a strikingly handsome 9-month-old […]
About a week ago I went on my Facebook page and saw a note from a woman named Alex looking for photos I had taken at the Watertown Humane Society of her new canine companion, Cooper. I got overly excited (imagine that) and asked if she would write a story about how Cooper came into […]
Come join us for the Dogs of Lake Superior Photography Workshop July 11th, 2015 from 9-1. Dogs, Lake Superior, and fast action – the perfect combination! The July date should be much warmer than this one from May ;). (Yes -those are winter hats!). Despite the cold, we had a great time, and I am excited […]
This past weekend was a crazy road trip all over the state of Wisconsin. On Friday I was at the Oshkosh Are Humane Society to teach a dog photography workshop with their volunteers and some others visiting from other shelters. We discussed dark dogs, fast moving dogs, and shooting without looking in the viewfinder. I […]
Bird dogs are my favorite subject – and I am honored to be the featured photographer for Ruffed Grouse Magazine for their Summer 2015 issue. There is a preview on their site: Ruffed Grouse Society, medicine and here are a few of my picks as well (some are in the magazine, and some are not). […]
On my trip to Seattle last month I met the sweet, sweet old girl Kaia. She loves her trips to the park with her mom Kristin – and snuggling in her backyard after playing in Lake Washington. We had a blast playing in the lake and throwing sticks ;). I love that I got to […]
So, two months ago Al and I lost our two oldest baby dogs in less than 2 weeks. I took photos of Max’s last few days – from the mess on his face from us trying to feed him, to the saline bag while we tried to hydrate him, to the last moments in the […]
