Meet Violet. In the below photos, she was 8 weeks old. This wee boxer puppy traveled from Indianapolis to Columbus for a quick summer time puppy shoot. Who doesn’t love a floppy, happy, cute puppy face?

Here is part II of Sarah + Andrew’s engagement session. We reschedule the sunset photos as the thunder and rain rolled in. Finally a day occurred without a massive thunder/rain/lightening deluge and we were able to wrap up our session.
Sarah and Andrew have two adorable dachshunds. One being a tiny puppy so I had them bring the two along as if you know me I love dogs and have 5 of my own Barbet.
We met at the Mill Race park in Columbus, Indiana right when the sun began to show it’s golden glory.

There is a great new company out of Columbus, Indiana called the Dog Bone Gourmet Bakery. They are providing natural homemade treats for dogs. Some are specifically made for dogs with allergies. The owner, Lindsey Turner, contacted me as she wanted to showcase some clean photos of her products as well as her new packaging and logo.
Right away I knew Lola, my chihuahua, had to be the model. Her expressions are always hilarious and for this shoot she did not let me down. She was patient and waited for her command to eat the treat. Also modeling was Treasure and Cleo my Barbet. They were not keen on waiting to eat the treat so there were crumbs all over after their pet photography modeling debut.
Lola! America’s Next Top Dog-al?
Cleo, Treasure, and Lola get a sample bite

While in Italy, my husband met me in Florence to start our belated honeymoon. We chose to wait a year as we were wed in Guatemala on Nov 1, 2009 and after that trip and the holidays we were exhausted. While in Italy, we headed to the northwestern part of La Spezia and Cinque Terre which is known as the Italian Rivera. Besides wanting to hike between the villages of Cinque Terre, we were there to visit a Barbet breeder (and now friend) Ezia. Ezia is responsible for my male, Cinna who I got in France over 2 years ago. She has several beautiful Barbet and is working hard to preserve the old Barbet bloodlines. Not only is she a great breeder, Ezia is a amazing groomer with the most muscular arms I have ever seen. She taught me some tips and techniques to manage my pack of Barbet in America.
If you do not know what Barbet are that is quite ok as there are around 1100 in the world and around 50 in The United States of America. They are French Water Dogs and said to be the ancestor of the Briar and Bichon, and close cousins with the Poodle, Portuguese Water Dog and Spanish Water Dog. Besides photography, Barbet are my passion. My sister-in-law brought one back almost 10 years ago and ever since then I’ve been in love and used my design abilities to make a website to promote the Barbet. Now I am the President of the Barbet Fanciers Club of America and am working diligently for full recognition for the Barbet in the AKC. You can read more about Barbet at www.americanbarbet.com or at www.barbetfanciers.com

I was fortunate to meet up with Jessica and Matt on a gorgeous warm fall day to photograph their adorable Yorkshire Terrier, Chanel. This tiny ball of energy was a joy to photograph. She watched her parents and followed their lead enabling me to capture her personality or I like to say dog-ality. Chanel weighs all of 3.5 pounds but her intelligence is through the roof. She knows how to sit, stay, lay down, bark loud and soft, roll over, and several other adorable tricks.
With her fluffy ears, deep brown eyes, and energetic happy demeanor, Chanel was a great subject and I can not wait to get some prints made of her for my doggy portfolio.

A couple weeks ago I visited a friend who had a lovely dog park near her home. Among other shoots we did, she took me to the dog park and of I couldn’t help but capture some of the doggy personalities there. Two crazy-eyed (I call dogs with different colored eyed “crazy-eyed”) huskies were there, Abby, Marshay’s lab mix, and several other furry friends. My favorite shots are of Abby drinking out of a water bottle. She’s one goofy pooch.
Erin is an avid horse rider and is a talented artist in drawing portraits of people. Check out her website: eaportraits.webs.com. Kenny is her handsome, outdoorsy fiancee. We met for their engagement photography session in Brown County near Nashville, Indiana as they go mountain bike riding there frequently.
This session was really about Erin and Kenny and I adore when I incorporate aspects of the couples life and passions into their photos. With the brown county hills, trails, lakes, and their pup, their personalities shine through that cloudy afternoon.
