Murphy & Hoover

Meet Murphy and Hoover, a couple of great dogs. These boys are Wheaten Terriers and have very fun, energetic personalities. I have not had the opportunity to work with many Wheatens, as there just aren't that many in this area, but they were a blast and it was a fun challenge to find their eyes under that wonderful tuft of hair on their foreheads! On the day of our studio session, it was raining and we weren't able to shoot anything outdoors. Luckily we were able to meet back up at Nathaniel Greene Park a few days later– it's an absolutely gorgeous place to shoot. We even had some Canadian Geese make a guest appearance.

 

Mitsey & Shadow Sneak Peek

These two little ladies were so much fun! Shadow earned her name by following her big sister Mitsey everywhere. You can just look at them and see how much they adore one another. I had such a great time working with them, many thanks to Mitsey, Shadow and their Mom for a fun Saturday morning!!

Calli

Whew! It's been so busy lately that I've neglected my blog a bit. Look for lots of new posts in coming weeks- I've got a TON of new photos to share. We'll start here with little miss Calli. Isn't she adorable? She reminds me of a fluffy little teddy bear and has the sweetest, happiest personality ever. Love her!

Also, many thanks to everyone who called and sent notes of sympathy about the loss of our Kitty Wyatt. All the love and support sent our way has made a sad time much easier. Thank you!!

A sad day at UTurn Studios...

Today we lost the eldest member of our animal family. Our kitty Wyatt passed away quietly today after a brief illness. I can't begin to express how I am feeling right now, other than sad...but this does make me think of something I wanted to share with my friends and clients. When I made the decision to become a professional pet photographer, a major part of that decision was the loss of our first cat, Purpy. He was a beautiful Snowshoe Siamese, and he was always my favorite photo subject. When we lost him to cancer, I was thankful that I had so many photos to remember him by. I wanted to share that with everyone who has had their life touched by a furry friend. Which brings me to my point...while I never, ever mind to work with an ill pet, I want to strongly encourage you to get your photos done in the good times. So many people don't realize that they want photos until their pet is already sick, and by then the animal often feels bad enough that their true personality does not shine in the photos. I want to provide you with photos that you will be able to treasure and remember your pet by for a lifetime, and the best way to do that is to photograph a happy, healthy pet. Here's one of my favorite photos that I have of Wyatt. He was a very regal, "king of the realm" kind of kitty and I think this shows that pretty well. 

Foggy Fall Morning

I love Fall. Although Spring is hard to beat... Fall is probably my favorite time to take outdoor photos. It's starting to cool off, and the leaves are just beginning to show a little color. For those of  you who were waiting for some Fall color before booking your outdoor portraits, now's the time! I have a (very) few openings left before the leaves start to fall, so give me a call if you'd like an Autumn session. No post is complete without a photo...so I'll share a few fun ones I took with my dogs over the weekend. When I went to take them for their morning walk on Sunday, I noticed the sunrise shining through the thinning fog....so of course I had to grab the camera and make the pooches pose!!
