Bella & Sophie

bluemutt — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 21:52:37 +0000

Bella & Sophie are two of the sweetest Chihuahua sister’s in Dallas. Bella, who is the older of the two at 7 years old, was my immediate friend… well I’m not exactly sure if she loved me or my pocket full of treats to be exact, but she turned out to be a natural in front of the camera. Her little sister, Sophie – who is 3 years old, needed a little more coaxing than my pocket full of treats. She wasn’t sure of my “huge” camera that was almost the same size as her! But after a few of my tricks she was ready for her close up as well. I had such a great time getting to know these two love bugs! I just love photographing Chihuahua’s (or Chihua-la’s as my 3 year old niece would say ) They have the best expressions!

That is Sophie on the left and Bella on the right. Gotta love those summer photo shoots with blue skies!

Best buds… One paw up and one paw down

I thought this was hysterical! Sophie has a “peep” hole in her fence where she can check on the neighbors dog. It is exactly the right height!

“We are the two best friends that anyone could have… Yes the two best friends that anyone could have…”

Tucker’s Surprise

bluemutt — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 20:57:40 +0000

Have I ever told you that I love being in on a surprise?? Well I absolutely, positively, with out a doubt DO!! Tucker’s photo session was a surprise Happy Birthday for his dad and keeping it a secret was a close call… But we were able to make it happen and he was beyond surprised from what I hear

Tucker is an older guy but you would never know it from the energy he had through the session. He was loving the park and was so excited to get into the cool water. While at home, he was such a sweat boy who just wanted to lean on whoever was closest! I definitely feel in love with this lovable golden retriever.

Tucker also has a cat-brother named Mittens. Mittens comes and goes as he pleases so we weren’t sure if we would be able to get any photos of him. But he turned out to be pretty curious of my camera and even gave us some posing!

Love the one on the right… one of my all time favorites!

Photo Day: Pet Resort Dallas

bluemutt — Thu, 05 May 2011 20:20:11 +0000

Blue Mutt Photography recently teamed up with Pet Resort Dallas for a fun filled Photo Day! Talk about some characters! I fell in love with each and everyone of these guys in an instant. From some of the goofiest to the shy ones, they all had a personality of their own. I met Phoebe – the sweet blind schnauzer; Mia – who has graced the pages of Modern Dog; Paris – who has her very own hot-pink wheelchair; Sammy – who is looking for his forever home; Snow – the deaf boxer; Easy (as in “The Big Easy”) – one of the biggest dogs I’ve ever met; the brother and sister team named Guns and Roses; Sadie – who’s missing half an ear; Freddie – who’s ears look as though she is always wearing pigtails; and so many more lovable fur-monsters!

Pet Resort Dallas is an incredible facility full of very happy dogs! The employees treat each dog as if they were their own and each day is topped off with an ice cream cone full of doggie ice cream! Talk about the life The best part of our photo day at Pet Resort Dallas is that 30% of the revenue from each photo went to Paws in the City, a local animal rescue group!! Thank you to Pet Resort Dallas and all their clients who helped raise funds for animals in need!

Oh, and be sure to tell me who your favorite is, especially if one of these is your fur-monster!!

Jackson the Tibetan

bluemutt — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 19:05:54 +0000

Meet Jackson, the most adorable Tibetan Terrier I’ve ever met. Okay well, the only Tibetan Terrier I’ve ever met – but he is sure to be the most adorable! Jackson’s pet session was nothing short of a dream. A top secret surprise session, with an extremely well behaved little man, in an increadible house. I felt like I was shooting for “D Home.” It was just perfect. Jackson’s parents were surprised with a beautiful photobook and I heard that a tear or two might have been shed

It was hard for me to narrow down my favorites from Jackson’s photo shoot… Love, love love!!

rosko!

bluemutt — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 00:34:03 +0000

Rosko… Hollywood is calling! I was filled with giddiness when Rosko, a 71 pound basset hound, pulled up with his mom in a bright pink Volkswagen convertible bug. A big entrance matched perfectly by Rosko’s big personality. He was the talk of the park and had many admirers. Everyone was drawn to him as if he was already the star he was born to be. I’ve never been around such a large Basset hound and I am in love with this guy from nose to tail! I even have a new addition to my warm and fuzzy, makes me want to squeal with joy list… you know: puppy kisses, warm chocolate chip cookies, and now Basset Hound paws

jessica & spencer: deep ellum

bluemutt — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 22:37:48 +0000

I first met Spencer at Camp Bow Wow Valentine’s photo day (4th row down… what a cutie, huh?) It wasn’t long before I got a call from Spencer’s mom saying she was dying to set up a photo session of her and Spencer down in Deep Ellum. They have been living in downtown Dallas for many years and wanted to document their life in the big city. I was so super excited to see Spencer again. I photographed many, many, dogs that day but I actually remembered Spencer being such a sweet boy and well behaved to boot We ended up with some amazing weather, a little wind, and a wild goose chase to find the roof of a building to get some skyline photos but we managed to capture it all. The vibrant colors of Dallas’s Deep Ellum were perfect with Spencers beautiful black and white markings. I just love these two as a pair, Jessica adopted Spencer as a stray 10 years ago and have been inseparable ever since!

Mitchell & Marin

bluemutt — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 21:32:30 +0000

I’ve meet many a dog breed in my years of being a pet photographer and all around animal lover – but it always surprises me to meet a totally new breed that I have never even heard of. Mitchell and Marin are two beautiful Manchester Terriers – a beautiful, sleek, and strong breed that is super athletic and full of life. Marin is the smaller “little sister” of the two and was extremely curious about my camera – her smile is almost contagious. While Mitchell, the more watchful “older brother” was handsome and striking. What a pair these two make! And I can’t say enough wonderful things about their parents who can’t hide their love for these two pups.

Check out Marin’s little grin

Remy

bluemutt — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 21:32:25 +0000

My friend Remy has one of the sweetest personalities and an incredible family to go with it. I actually took Remy’s photos quite some time ago but it was a huge secret because Remy’s parents were surprised with a gorgeous photobook of Remy on Christmas morning. Surprises are my favorite… I love to hear about the owner’s reactions (I heard there might have been a tear or two shed…)

I am so excited to finally share all of his beautiful photos with everyone! He is a striking black lab with a silver face showing his years. Such a sweet old dog with a great heart who is loved very, very much!

happy valentine’s day!

bluemutt — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 18:13:23 +0000

Ever spent a Valentine’s day getting hugs, kisses, tail wags, and love from over 75 dogs?? Well I have and it just might be one of my favorites as of yet. These pups are full of love for their owners and I was thrilled to capture each and every one of them. Camp Bow Wow, one of Dallas’s premier doggie daycares set up a special pet photography day for all their pups – so that they would have a gift to take home to their mom or dad. Just too darn cute if you ask me!

Thank you to Camp Bow Wow for providing such an excellent service and being such a great friend!
