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!

springtime

It really doesn’t get better than the weather this time of year and for Dallas – spring has definitely sprung. Blue skies, cool breezes, new flowers, green grass, and sunshine!

I snapped this photo on a trip to the Dallas Arboretum with my family. If you are in the Dallas area you must check out their Spring Blooms. Hope everyone has a great weekend outdoors!!

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!

happy valentine’s day!

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!

snow day!

bluemutt — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 16:06:28 +0000

Make that three ice days and one snow day to top it all off! Yes I know the entire country is covered in ice and snow but it becomes a holiday/celebration type ordeal when it happens in Texas. Plus my dogs LOVE the snow. They can’t get enough of it and I can’t seem to understand how their toes and tummies don’t freeze, but then again I’m not a dog… I caught Layla (on the left) and Mr. Blue Mutt in action this morning here in the Dallas snow. Hope everyone is staying warm and having fun this winter 2011!!

BEVO is BACK

bluemutt — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 14:35:43 +0000

As many of you already know it is TX-OU weekends here in the big D. Once a year Dallas is filled with Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners for one of the biggest college football rivalries around, and that means one thing… BEVO is BACK! Tonight I am headed out to photograph Bevo for the second year in a row and I couldn’t be more excited – I am a graduate of The University of Texas so it means that much more to me. As for the big game? I’ll be there in my burnt orange cheering for my horns… Hook’em!

Good Morning Texas Video

Here is the video (or segment as they say in the TV biz) from yesterday’s Good Morning Texas. I think I’ve watched it about 20 time, no joke! I really do feel like I am living in a pet photographer’s dream! Hope these tips help you get some great shots of your furry ones.

A big thank you to Buster’s Grandpa for helping me with all the technical aspects to working with video clips! He even made me DVD copies to send to all my family members! Also, thank you to everyone for all the positive feedback – you really do make me feel like a superstar And last but not least – wfaa channel 8 & the GMT team – you rock!

The words Deep Ellum and kids usually don’t go together but I decided to give it a go – and I am absolutely in love with the results! Of course it helps when you have two cool kiddos with some awesome sunglasses

Here is a quick sneak peak to wet your appetite. There are many, many more to come. I just couldn’t resist putting these up right away!

Summer at Camp Bow Wow

bluemutt — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 16:54:56 +0000

Camp Bow Wow is one of the best doggie daycares in the Dallas area. They really do love their doggy clients and treat them to fun and treats all day long! We joined up to provide a summer mini session to all the pups at camp. Ever met 50 dogs all at once? Well I have and I loved every minute of it. Each one has their very own personality and are just too cute for words. How could I ever call being a pet photographer a job?? There are a lot of photos here but it brings a smile to my face… almost like school pictures!

Thank you Camp Bow Wow for being such a great pet business and friend!

Scout & Casper

bluemutt — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 15:25:02 +0000

Scout and Casper are two super laid back brothers who I first met at my favorite Dallas Doggie Daycare: Camp Bow Wow. I actually photographed Scout during our Valentines Day Photos last year!

I was so excited to see him again and meet his brother Casper, with his beautiful blue eyes! Scout is the older of the two at 10 years old, but you would never know it – aside from the presence of his white eyebrows(so cute). You can even see a difference in his “aging” from February 2009 (above) to today. He is a “happy-go-lucky” guy, who really loves his Dad… and chasing squirrels. Casper, on the other hand, is only 2 and 1/2 years old – and very careful and shy. He is named Casper for a couple different reasons. First of all he is super friendly – lots of love for everyone around (that is once he knows you’re a dog lover) but holds a special place in his heart for his Mom. He also likes to hide and peak around corners to see what’s going on before joining in the fun. Also, you can never overlook his beautiful ice-blue eyes!

I love these two photos together. If I had to caption them… 1. Awe, mmmoooom – why do you have to embarrass me all the time. 2. Okay, I love you too and give kisses now! You embarrassed? (okay so I’m no comedian – check out I Has a Hot Dog for some real laughs!)

Action time – I wanted to highlight the ball that Casper is about to snag out of the air, can you find it? I just love Scouts face in his action shot – very determined!

I’m so happy I caught this candid moment of their little family.
