Is it me, or does Beatrix look like a plush toy? She took a bit to warm up during our session, but once she did, we got some amazing shots like this! As much as I love getting the smiles and tongues out, I love a straight-on, no facial expression photo, too. The eyes say so much.

In my opinion, all homes should have photos of their pets on the walls:) One of the best parts of the photography shoot process is delivery premium art to put up on walls!

Smiling Ghost or Serious Ghost? Which one is your favorite?
Ghost, who lives in Lakewood, Ohio, was rescued and adopted from the Cleveland APL in 2019, a year after the ban on pit-bull type dogs was ended in the city. It's always so fun and meaningful to photograph a dog who lives in my hometown of Lakewood, where they wouldn't have been welcome between 2008-2018.

Once in a while, I'll be out and about and I'll run into a dog or other animal who I immediately want to photograph. That happened a few weeks ago at Edgewater Dog Beach when I ran into Arlo while on a walk with my daughter. Such a handsome pup! Thanks for stopping by with one of the best smiles ever!
