Bevo 2011!

bluemutt — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 05:15:07 +0000

This past weekend was Texas vs. Oklahoma weekend here in Dallas, and if you are from around here you know exactly what that means! The State Fair of Texas, BBQ, parties, rivalries, friends, and of course some Longhorn football. I was so excited to be invited back to Bevo’s party for the third year in a row – he and I are definitely buddies now The party was a huge success and tons of people and kiddos had their photo taken with this famous mascot. Thank you to the Silver Spurs for doing such a great job keeping Bevo happy!

If you attended this years party with Bevo you can see all of the photos at this link: Bevo 2011.

Baby Smiles!

I am absolutely in love with this photo of newborn baby Graham! He is such a happy baby and this big grin shows it. And his owl hat is just the cutest thing around… I’m sure I let out a squeal when his mom pulled it out! Enjoy the smiles… many, many more to come!

Bella & Sophie

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…”

Blue Mutt Photography is in Living Magazine!

After working with Pet Resort Dallas to give their clients an amazing Photo Day, I was pleased to be contacted by them once more! They were being featured in a local Dallas Magazine: Living Magazine and needed a photographer for the article. I was so excited – I was dancing around in my office and could hardly wait to go back to their amazing facility and capture it in photos. Then the hard part stated… waiting for the article to come out.

Well the wait is up and I am so excited to share it with everyone!! Love it! Let me know what you think

Tucker’s Surprise

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!

More Meows on Blue Mutt!

I was so excited to hear that my friend Blair, and her husband, who have been in the market for a new home – finally ended their long search… because they ended it in MY neighborhood here in Dallas. I couldn’t be more happy to have a great friend so close and as a new neighbor. My excitement reached a new level when she called me to let me know they had adopted a teeny-tiny little kitten. I ran over to snap a few photos of their cat as a housewarming gift and a great blog post!

Meet Honey, the sweetest little kitten in my neighborhood. She was a natural at getting her photo taken, but I did get a good laugh when her Dad asked me if – as a pet photographer – I knew how to talk to animals since she was behaving so well.

Another special fact about Honey (full name Honey-Mustard) is that somewhere out there, maybe not even born yet, she has a brother on the way! Her parents are looking to adopt a sheepdog, who already has a name… Ketchup! I’m sure that Honey-Mustard and Ketchup will be fast friends! Welcome to the neighborhood

Murray & Lucy

Every now and then I am lucky enough to get to spend an afternoon with a gorgeous cat or two. And that is exactly what Murray and Lucy are for sure! Talk about a change of pace. Photographing two beautiful cats could not be more different than photographing two dogs. The first thing I always tell my cat clients is “The cat is in charge of this session.” Murray and Lucy were definitely in charge of their own session and it couldn’t have turned out better. They were a bit cautious at first, but with a little patience and some loving coaxing they eventually came out of their shells and showed me their curious personalities That is Murray on the left and Lucy on the right!

I just love cat whiskers! Check out Lucy’s long white whiskers

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!!
