annie & riley!

Last week, photographers in Maine hit the jackpot, as far as I’m concerned, for weather! I had shoots each night of the week and the weather was absolutely gorgeous for each one. Annie & Riley, the spunky yellow labs from Falmouth, live in a beautiful wooded neighborhood. Coupled with the fantastic weather, the Lyons’ yard was the perfect spot for an evening dog photo shoot!

Riley & Annie

Within the first five minutes of my arrival (which is always the most exciting time for the dog and the photographer!), Riley ate a bag of baby carrots. And by bag of carrots, I mean the plastic baggie was gone too! What a lab!

Annie has slightly less of an appetite (only slightly) than her big brother. She is much more content to tug, chew and fetch! Again, what a lab!

Dog & the newspaper. A classic!

Riley really likes to help out around the house by carrying things!

Sweet Annie loves riding in her Lexus!

Cooling off in the house…

Thank you, Pat & Mike, for inviting me into your beautiful home to document your two special pups!

When Calle & Hazel’s mom, Allison, e-mailed me about scheduling a session she referred to her two chocolate lab puppies as “scrumptious.” Boy, was I excited to schedule that session! I’m quite positive you will agree with her (and me!) once you’ve seen the photos of these two!

Calle is 100% retriever. While she’s relatively calm for a young lab puppy, Calle LOVES playing, tugging, fetching, swimming, running- you name it!

Hazel has the same appreciation for all things fun & exciting, but she would much rather be given lots of love, preferably in your lap, in the form of belly rubs, ear scratches and kisses.

Thank you, Allison and Emma, for bringing your two “scrumptious” chocolates into the studio! I can think of no better way to spend a morning than laughing at two adorable dogs like Calle & Hazel!

Dan & Aubrey Martin from the lovely Damariscotta pet supply shop, The Animal House, brought their sweet border collie mix, Loki, down to the studio last week for an afternoon photo shoot! She had a blast doing all sorts of fun tricks for us and was rewarded with plenty of Maine-made Barkwheats treats! The three of us had a great time watching her perform in front of the camera and talking about all things pet related!

Loki has a fantastic energy about her and was a joy to be around! She might make an appearance at this year’s Woofstock on September 12th. If you’re in or around Damariscotta, you must stop by and meet this sweet little pup! Thank you both, Aubrey & Dan! I’m so glad you made the trip down to South Portland! See you at Woofstock!

Evan and Keely live in the Willard neighborhood and often walk by the studio with their two dogs, Cassius and King. I was delighted to be able to schedule an impromptu photo shoot with them at Fort Williams last week. Both dogs have their own incredibly unique personalities. I’m surprised I was able to pull myself together to take photographs, because I spent most of the evening giggling and laughing at these two.

Meet Cassius …

& King!

Thank you for a wonderful evening, Evan and Keely! I had a blast with you and your insanely fun dogs. You are a great family!

Dogs at Work Festival: Portland, Maine

Michael and I are incredibly lucky, as we get to celebrate “Take Your Dog to Work Day” everyday of the week! Some folks, on the other hand, aren’t as lucky, but were able to spend Friday working with their dogs by their side. I stopped by the Old Port’s Dogs at Work Festival on Friday and had a great time meeting all of the rescue dogs available for adoption and chatting with the various vendors and organizations.

Logan, one of my favorite service dogs, takes a break from the excitement!

Suzan Morris was there representing Team DogPowered!

Planet Dog helped the town celebrate Take Your Dog to Work Day by tying these orange balloons along Middle Street.

You might have read about (and fallen in love with!) the shop dogs of Maine in the June issue of Downeast Dog News. Loyal Biscuit’s Orli was featured, and so was Maine’s newest pet supply shop dog, Sydney, of Sooper Dogs. I drove down to Sooper Dogs, one of Saco’s newest stores, last week and fell in love with the store, its lovely owners and its beyond adorable Goldendoodle, Sydney. If you’re in the area, I urge you to stop in the shop and talk to the very knowledgeable Tim and Amy Lambert. You might also see some familiar & unlimited dogs canvases on the wall behind the checkout counter!

Amy and Tim have set up a wonderful display of dog treats made in Maine: Barkwheats, The Growlin’ Gourmet and Bite O’ Blue treats

One of my favorite companies, West Paw!

Here’s what I’ve been up to in the last 24 hours! More pictures to come very very soon!

Happy Friday!

This morning I realized, yet again, just how awesome my job as a photographer is. I spent a couple of hours walking along beautiful trails, enjoying great conversation, while documenting two spunky dogs enjoy their morning to its fullest!

Meet Lexy and Gilbert:

Lexy is an absolute sweetheart! A tad bit shy in the beginning, she gradually warmed up to the idea of being photographed. While we were at Twin Brooks this morning, she seemed so at ease- everything just seemed right in her world!

Gilbert is full of life and absolutely fearless! He introduced us to nearly a dozen other dogs who instantly took to his spunky personality. He and Lexy seem to be the perfect complements!

They are two peas in a pod!

Thank you, Marie, Lexy and Gilbert! I cannot wait to return to Twin Brooks and enjoy its natural beauty. Somehow I just don’t think it will be the same without watching Lexy and Gilbert run all over the place!
