Lexie....a rescue with heart.
This fall I had the pleasure of meeting and working with the super-friendly Lexie. Lexie is a rescue that now has all the love a pup could wish for and really how can you not love that face.

Vegas & Chili-Bean....greyhounds striking a pose.
Meet Vegas & Chili-bean. Whether it was running in a field or standing still for their close ups, these two dogs were all heart. It was such a pleasure to get to meet and photograph these amazing pups!

Meet Elly... yes she is a black dog and yes you can take their pictures too.
Meet Elly, diva fantastico and my sidekick at Blinking Cow Photography. Elly is a one year old Jack Russel/Toy Poodle cross and lives every moment to the fullest. She is my inspiration everyday, even the cloudy ones.
Elly is also the example I use to the one comment I hear the most...."you can't take pictures of a black dog..." Well I would like to introduce you to Exhibit A.
Just because your animal is a dark colour does not mean that they cannot have striking, beautiful photos taken of them. It is possible. Here are some tips; use the light to your advantage, try lowering your shutter speed and if all else fails hire a pro.
On that note, there are more black dogs and cats available for adoption then any other color and they usually take the longest to get adopted. Whether it be the myths and legends of old or that people just look them over, they are just as beautiful and have something truly special to give.
Here are a few of the cutie pie adoptables I have met this year that still need homes. When making your decision please consider what will be the perfect pet for your family and not base your decision on colour, you may be missing out on something super special.

Where it all began...and why you shouldn't wait.
My first dog was named Samson, a husky cross and loyal to a fault. Samson was great, he ate pancakes and ice cream, followed us everywhere, sat on our coloring books and loved to swim in the creek (god did he smell after that!). He was our best friend and a member of the family.
Samson was let go at the ripe old age of 14 due to hip dysplasia. This is the only photograph we have of him and it was taken the same year he died. 14 years of memories, that are only in my head. It's almost like a dream that he ever existed at all.
As a professional pet and equine photographer I have this same scenario happen all the time. And I thought I would give my advice.
Don't wait.
Take the time to capture images of your furry family members whether you hire a pro or take thousands of images at home. They changed your life by just being in it and you should be able to share those memories and remember them even when they are gone.
In honor of Kudo (who is in heart failure), Daisy & Sophie, who didn't make it to her session due to cancer.
