Welcome to the & unlimited dogs photo blog! I'm Meredith, a dog-loving photographer, from Cape Elizabeth, Maine, where I live with my boyfriend, Michael and our totally insane lab, Orvis (who you will get to know quite well!). The best part of my day is when I'm on the ground, rolling around and laughing with a dog!
Please check back often, as I will continue to update the site with each shoot. Thank you for stopping by!
Who can resist a dog in bright, green grass? Especially on St. Patrick’s Day!
Spring, with its beautiful green grass is almost here! Happy Wednesday!

March 17, 2010 - 11:27 am - How wonderful, dogs & green grass on St. Paddy's day and the Golden in the center is just precious, but aren't they all. Looked like a great time at Finish Forward Dogs. We really enjoy your photos.
Last weekend I had the wonderful opportunity to attend the grand opening of southern Maine’s newest dog training & event studio, Finish Forward Dogs. The owners of Finish Forward, Jay & Shannan, contacted me a couple of months ago about hanging some of my canvases on the walls of the studio and invited me to participate in the opening. To say I was flattered to receive both invitations is certainly an understatement…
Shannan & Jay, along with their four dogs, have worked so hard to open this beautiful facility- the only one of its kind in Southern Maine.
I love all of the green!
I love this picture of Nancy Freedman-Smith’s sweet daughter. The Smith girls are always happy to be at these dog events because they get to see all of the cute pups!
I was also excited to offer a drawing for a free dog photography session at the event!
And the winner is . . .
Amanda Johnson!
Thanks, Jay & Shannan, for having me to the studio! It was wonderful to meet all of your clients, friends and family who continue to show their support of your growing business. I had a great time visiting with old friends and making new ones. I’m excited to see what great things you both do with Finish Forward!

Oh, my heart melted when I met this little guy the other day. Copley the golden retriever puppy is a sweet little ball of golden fluff. And he’s only 16 weeks old!
I couldn’t resist posting this picture of Copley as he grabbed my camera strap. Too cute!
Okay, just one more! It’s hard to stop.
I’m off to Palm Beach to photograph a wedding (the couple’s dogs will actually be in the ceremony!), but I will post more pictures of this sweet little polar bear when I return. Happy Thursday!

March 11, 2010 - 9:34 am - Oh Tiny and Copley....almost makes me want another puppy. Can't wait to see hoe the florist dresses up the Palm Beach pups for the wedding!
March 11, 2010 - 9:40 am - AH! Mere, you are full of posts this week! Puppeh says "no!" to canon :) (sorry, had to!) Did you use your new 35 for this? I cannot handle the fluff around the ears on a fresh pup, too much cute!
March 11, 2010 - 9:40 am - The picture of him chewing on the strap is just too cute!
March 11, 2010 - 9:41 am - Tooo cuteee!!
March 11, 2010 - 9:46 am - fuzzzzzzzzzzzzball!
March 11, 2010 - 9:57 am - awhhh Copley! He's adorable! Have fun in Palm Beach; that is SO COOL how the couples' dogs are going to be in the wedding!!
March 11, 2010 - 12:23 pm - We are in love, you can almost smell the puppy breath.
Since starting my business this past year, I’ve met so many lovely and inspiring people. I’ve enjoyed getting to know and networking several with amazing, talented individuals. Julie Bernier is definitely one of those people I’m so fortunate to have connected with, and I feel incredibly lucky to be able to call her a friend.
When Julie, the owner of Maine’s only puppy nursery, Dances with Dogs, contacted me about collaborating with her on a special project, I couldn’t wait to hear more about her ideas and start brainstorming. Our first planning session took place during a lovely hike in Cape Elizabeth’s Robinson Woods while watching our three labs (Orvis, Casco & Tonya) romp through the trails.
I met Tiny the black lab for our project’s first photo shoot this past weekend. You know I cannot resist a little lab puppy who loves to chew (on anything!)…
I couldn’t wait to get home from the session and show Michael the photos. She looks like a mini-Orvis!
Watch out for more of these shots from our ongoing project!

March 10, 2010 - 5:37 pm - pure bliss! I want to snuggle the crap out of her, what a cutie!
March 10, 2010 - 5:47 pm - What a treat to be working with such a fab photographer! I'm so excited about our project, Meredith. You're simply the BEST! Hugs...
March 10, 2010 - 6:41 pm - OMG! SO cute!! If she needs a puppy sitter put me on the list! And as always, the photos are fabulous :)
March 11, 2010 - 9:56 am - Awhhhhhhhhhh what a cutie!!!! She's so pretty! Definitely brings back memories when our pup was that little. :)
Charlie the Labradoodle was a great assistant during my sister’s “She Said Yes” shoot. He happily wore a chalkboard around his furry neck, proudly announcing that his parents were getting married- MacKenzie had said yes to Philip’s proposal!
Since adopting Charlie in December, these two have grown pretty attached to him. After meeting him, it’s easy to see why!
Thanks for checking out more of Charlie the labradoodle!

March 9, 2010 - 12:36 pm - It certainly is evident that two folks who love their dog as much as they do and allow him to share in their joy are two very special people who will have a wonderful life together. We are sure they will make many furry friends happy throughout their years together.
March 10, 2010 - 10:27 am - Charlie is so adorable, and I love how he was there for their engagement! I love the chalkboard idea, too!!
March 11, 2010 - 10:45 am - too. stinkin. adorable. !!!
March 15, 2010 - 7:20 am - How cute!! Love the chalkboard... and the shots of them cuddling w/ Charlie totally made me smile!
Right before Christmas, my sister, MacKenzie, and her fiancé’, Philip, (read the story of their engagement HERE) adopted a labradoodle named Charlie. As a photographer, I was dying to come down to North Carolina from Maine to meet (and photograph!) Charlie. Had I not been able to photograph MacKenzie & Philip’s proposal last week, I would not have met Charlie until May!
He is such a big sweetheart who could seriously cuddle with humans all day long! I was lucky to be able to photograph Charlie at my parents house on Bald Head Island where there is an abundance of beautiful natural light throughout.
How sweet is this face?
Charlie loves to dance! We tied my mother’s Burberry scarf on him for fun. I had a hard time taking it off, he looked so cute!
I’ll be posting more photos of Charlie soon! He was a great help in my “She Said Yes” photo shoot!
February 24, 2010 - 1:04 pm - Beautiful photos!! I love his eyes/expressions and his oh so cute nose. =D
February 24, 2010 - 3:01 pm - He sure does look like a "Charlie", what a love bug.
February 24, 2010 - 3:14 pm - The photos are absolutely amazing, you have such a fantastic eye. Mackenzie & Philip's proposal is something so special too and something they will be able to cherish forever! Keep it up!!
February 24, 2010 - 10:12 pm - "charlie boy" is a sweet dog and you really got some awesome shots. they are all unbelievably good!
February 25, 2010 - 8:48 am - ...that 2nd shot grabbed me :) love it meredith.
February 25, 2010 - 9:11 pm - Thanks for taking such great shots of our puppers Charlie. He LOVES you Meredith! But then, so do all of us!
March 3, 2010 - 10:32 am - Charlie is adorable! He looks so warm & cuddly!!!
If you follow my other blog, geared more towards humans, you might have seen that I recently photographed my sister getting engaged. Her dog, Charlie, was there and knew from the very beginning that I was hiding behind a tree taking pictures of the whole scene.
Dogs are just too smart.
I’m looking forward to posting several more pictures of Charlie the labradoodle this week!

I picked up my newest lens this past weekend and immediately took Orvis outside to test it out!
I’m anxious to use my new lens at my next shoot this weekend! Stay tuned for more from this fantastic lens.
February 16, 2010 - 12:29 pm - Wow, Those photos are so sharp. You feel you can almost reach out and pet Orvis.
February 16, 2010 - 12:43 pm - Looks like the new lens is treating you well. :) Orvis is so cute!! Love the tennis ball shot.
February 16, 2010 - 3:36 pm - So cute - I really love that first one (his feet look tiny!). :) It's always so fun to get new equipment. :)
February 16, 2010 - 4:09 pm - Nice! Pretty tight DOF eh?
February 17, 2010 - 11:13 am - Meredith, that lens is sweet indeed! The first pic with the dof covering only his eyes is just fab! Enjoy it!
February 17, 2010 - 2:11 pm - Love the photos with the new lense! I am in absolute love with my Nikkor 50mm 1.8. I wouldn't mind a 35mm 1.4 though :). Great shots, so jealous there's no snow on the ground in Maine! We got about 6 inches last night here in NH. Makes me long for my parents' backyard in Scarborough...
Orvis and I cut out of work early last week to go hiking in Wolfe’s Neck State Park, one of our very favorite places in Maine. I brought along my camera and snapped a few slobbery-filled pictures of my crazy black dog.
I’m not sure that it got over 30 degrees that day, but Orvis went for a full-out swim in the water. Crazy dog!
I’m incredibly thankful for the life I have that allows me to ditch work and take my dog hiking in the middle of the day.
February 9, 2010 - 2:35 pm - Hi there.. This is a beautiful site and Orvis is just stunning. The name suits him very well! :) You have a keen eye for capturing a moment. I love it!
Yesterday I decided to work from home because I really wanted to be there the minute the UPS truck came. I would make up reasons to leave the office just so I could pass by our front door and casually take a peek at the front steps. Seriously, this happened no less than fifteen times… The brown box finally found its way to our doorstep and I literally tore it open with excitement and squealed with delight when I saw the book inside.
Luna’s coffee table book arrived yesterday and after snapping a few photos of it, I rushed downtown to the Old Port to share it with my dear friends, Darcy & Carolyn. It was a surprise gift to both of them, to help them in celebrating Luna’s birthday tomorrow. Both Darcy & Carolyn have been so incredibly supportive of me since I started my business, this book was just one small way to express my gratitude.
And, guess what? They loved it!
A few of my favorite spreads from Luna’s Book.
February 5, 2010 - 3:38 pm - It is always SO exciting when products arrive... it's seriously like xmas for me :) I'm sure they love the album!!
