There’s just something about Boston Terriers that makes them really photogenic. Is it the smooshed face? The wrinkles? The googly eyes? Whatever it is, it’s magic.


This one is weird and I like it. Tippy-toes.



A girl and her dogs. This session definitely reminded me of when I was a kid, and the special bond I had with my pets. Anna was such a great model and so good with these guys, it made the session really fun! Freddy is the Basenji/German Shepherd, and Robbie is the Finnish Spitz. This was another case of not being able to narrow down my favorites, so get ready for a long post! Doesn’t she have a gorgeous smile!

This was Freddy’s m.o. for most of our session….. looking away and striking handsome poses.


Robbie was a little more into it….

And I did get a nice one of Freddy…..





Thanks for a wonderful session guys!

So the previous post featured a German Shorthair Pointer… this big scruffle-muffin is a German Wirehair Pointer. I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love scruff. The wirey, crazy eyebrows, beard, mohawk…. Love it. I had alot of favorites of this guy, but here’s just a sampling of them. (isn’t he cute!!)


He’s totally laughing in this one….

Here’s a close-up of the scruff I can’t get enough of….


It was, of course, a Holiday Session….

Thank you Rufus! If anyone knows you out there, I hope they don’t spoil these surprise photos for your dad!
Hi blog-friends! I’ve noticed a few of my artsy-friends in town are getting nominations for the Metro Mag 2010 Keeper Awards, and I thought I should try to nab some votes too. Here’s a little blurb from the site:
A “Keeper” is an up-and-coming Twin Cities artist who is so bananas-talented that we never want him/her to leave. To keep (get it?) these future art stars from skipping town, we’re writing a splashy story about them in our January 2010 issue, giving them a killer trophy (designed by 2009 Keeper Andrea Stanislav) and throwing a party in their honor (details to come).
So if you think I’m “bananas-talented” I’d love for you (and your friends!) to nominate me! The deadline is next Thursday, October 29th. To sweeten the pot a bit, if I’m chosen as one of the Keepers, there’s going to be a fabulous prize for one of YOU! (details, of course, to come)
The two gorgeous old girls won a Studio Session from a Home For Life silent auction earlier this spring! I love the endearing, grey face of a dog who’s been loved for so many years. Benelli is the Pointer and Lady is the Schipperke, and they’re both so spunky, you wouldn’t guess they were seniors.
