Meet the sweetest chocolate lab in Dallas - Liberty Belle, or Libby for short. Brought home on the Fourth of July, a patriotic name was only too fitting! Libby is actually 12 years old, but you would never guess it as she is so full of love and energy - I could still see some puppy in her eyes. Libby’s photo shoot was a Father’s Day gift for her Dad. They have been best friends for 12 years… a fantastic pair 
Sadly, Libby recently tore her ACL and the vet says that surgery is not the answer for this sweet gal. Libby’s family loves her so much and they are doing everything they can to keep Libby young at heart!

Best. Ears. Ever.
June 25, 2009 – 10:38 pm
This little girls name is Lola, and she has the best set of ears I’ve ever come across! I met her at the SPCA this morning and she sure did brighten my day. I think she is trying to balance out her ears with her tongue.
And this little lady is sugar - she was doing her own thing this morning so I got this great silhouette shot. She’s a sweetie!

I love that first one on the left! Lola’s got ‘tude! Great shots!
-
I think that Lola might have some coyote in her background. We laughed and laughed…. and, of course, Phillip wants to adopt her. I like the silhouette shot….very thought provoking.
-
I was giggling the entire time… even while I was editing them!
-
I am cracking up at the photos of Lola. She is hilariously cute!!!

Awesome Ears ! Love the first two shots. My Fav

Blue Mutt is excited to announce that we will be branching out into children and family photography. Keeping in the same candid style - capturing the moments of your little one’s childhood. Stay tuned for more announcements and the launch of my new website!
Oh, and for all you dog lovers out there, just like me, I plan to focus just as much attention on the little furry ones as well!
SPCA Thursday… Hot!
June 18, 2009 – 3:36 pm
Today is SPCA Thursday One of my favorite days. However, today it is officially hot. We are up to about 98 or 100 degrees here in Dallas. No complaining from these adoptable furry friends at the shelter, they were ready for their close-up.
First up meet Weavel and Harry. Weavel needs a little work on the leash, he only has two speeds: sprint and stop! Good thing he’s so tiny. And Mr. Harry on the left is just as cute as he can be with some of the softest fur in town.
On the right is Squatty - not sure why she’s named that… maybe she was shorter than all of her brothers and sisters. I feel in love with her big brown eyes, what a sweet face. And on the right is Goldie, I can tell she will be someone’s loyal puppy till the end - she would just sit there and look at me while I talked to her, and she loves a good ear rub!
Summer Bath
June 16, 2009 – 10:41 am
In Mr. Blue Mutt’s mind, summer bath time has got to be just about the best thing around. We spend at least 20 minutes soaking him down while he chases the water and tries to eat it or catch it. He loves every minute of it. Then we suds him up as fast as possible and let him loose again, only to play in the water until all the soap is gone. I was lucky enough to have my husband do all the work while I took some photographs.
By the way - don’t tell Willie he’s actually getting a bath… Just makes me smile Hope it brightens your day!
And no bath would be complete without a good shake…
Rain, Rain, Go Away!
June 11, 2009 – 5:42 pm
Today is SPCA Thursday, but it poured here in Dallas all night and all morning. So all the puppies were very sad to find out that they couldn’t go out into the thunderstorm to play. Willie was also sad, so he decided to go back to bed - great sleeping weather!
I spent my morning inside, photographing some cats in need of a good home. They were so sweet, most of them started purring when I opened the door to their kennel, ready to get a good rub down!

These are really lovely. Great captures!

Awwwwwwwwwwww! I want to take them all home!
Photobook!!
June 9, 2009 – 4:05 pm
Imagine this, you have a dinner party and all of your friends are gathered around. Someone picks up the coffee table book that you have perfectly arranged on your coffee table and starts to flip through it. Only to realize that the pups in the book are yours! And now everyone is crowded around the couch trying to get a peak!
No joke - these photobooks are awesome. They are a hardback book with a wrap around laminated cover. Each page is high gloss and super thick (no bending). All you have to do is tell me what photos you want to include in your one of a kind book.
Maggie and Dixie were lucky enough to have their very own book made.
I LOVE these books… I even made one for my own wedding!! I can promise you that Willie will have his own very soon.
Looking for a Home
June 4, 2009 – 5:42 pm
It’s SPCA Thursday again - sorry I haven’t been able to post these adoptable furry friends every Thursday. I am going to start trying my best to put out a post every Thursday! Today was a blast. Dogs, dogs, everywhere! One pup in particular made my day - I couldn’t stop laughing the entire time I was photographing him…you’ll meet him a little later.
All of these guys are for adoption at the Dallas SPCA.
Up first - meet Gunther, the 9 month old Australian Shepherd mix. He has the most beautiful eyes, with perfectly applied eye liner - such a sweet little boy!
Here are two Terrier mixes you’ve gotta love! Lucky on the left, and Mr. Spinner on the right - who will be featured on Channel 8 this Saturday! A Star!
This beautiful girl is named Sneekers, she is so calm and absolutely loved my camera! Super soft with a great fluffy tail to wag.
So here she is… Mitzi: the dog you need if you love to laugh! She was running circles around me with her ears and tounge doing their own thing. Prancing, dancing, running, jumping - Mitzi might need a yard but she will keep a smile on your face… I promise.
And last but not least: Lucy - A good old Cattle Dog. Now Lucy knows she needs to drop a couple pounds so she’s looking for someone active to play and run with! She loves the tennis ball and is well trained.
And finally a parting shot of Mitzi and Lucy giving me their best pose! Go Adopt Today!
My Little Ansley
June 3, 2009 – 1:58 pm
Gasp… could it be two legs instead of four??
Yes… it’s my beautiful niece, Ansley. I was lucky enough to have a mini photo shoot with her at the Dallas Arboretum while my family was in town for a quick visit. Ansley will be two in September - always talking and giggling. Such a beauty!
That’s my sister, Michele, tossing Ansley up into the air - what a great mom.
I couldn’t resist posting this one! It’s hard to see, but Ansley is trying to give her pacifier to the baby deer statue… too cute!
Harry & Coco
May 28, 2009 – 6:02 pm
Have you ever come across a puppy who just melts your heart? Well I found two of them. Meet Harry & Coco - both were rescue dogs and couldn’t have been rescued by a better, more caring mom. Harry & Coco’s mom is devoted to helping every last shelter dog she can. She loves these two so much, it made it that much more of a delight to photograph them for her. Harry is part Chinese Crested and a lot of mutt (which is the best kind of dog in my book!). He has quite a story: he was found on a construction site, and was so stressed out by the noise, that he had lost all of his hair. He’s come a long way since those days! His sister, Coco, is part chihuahua and part terrier – so she’s been nicknamed Coco”nut” (I’m sure many terrier and Chihuahua owners would agree that they can get a little nutty sometimes)! Love it!
Oh, and if you happen to know Harry & Coco’s soon to be dad… mums the word, it’s a surprise!
Harry & Coco have such expressive faces… not to mention eyebrows and lashes that go on for days!
By the end of the photo shoot it was lights out for little Harry… I think Coco could have kept going for days - so much energy and love to give. Both just too sweet for words!
allison, you have captured our girl beautifully. you are such a wonderful artist! thank you for gracing us with such a gift as these photos. we’ll always have our liberty belle with us…
This is a great tribute to a great family pet. I love shots 2, 4, 6, 10 & 11. Gosh — they are all good. I know these photos will be treasured for years to come. They made me think of my long ago, long-time pet chow. Wish I had even one good photo of him!
