Read MoreVizslas! Boing boing boing at Montrose Dog Beach
As I’ve mentioned in some past posts, once a month I am traveling to locations through out the US to do furkid sessions! What was awesome about Kristi and John’s session in Chicago, though, was that Kristi was a bridesmaid in one of my all time favorite weddings up HERE – Laura & Kane’s wedding on Madeline Island. It was so much fun to catch up and meet her crazy-fun vizslas at Montrose Dog Beach! I had no idea dogs could move so fast . Also – stay tuned for some fun news about some teaching (both in person and online) that I’ll be doing in 2013! So fun Contact ME! |...

Read MoreTravel Sessions and a Visit to the Franklin County Dog Shelter in Columbus, OH
I was already doing furchild sessions when the John & Schoep photo went nuts – but the publicity I have gotten from it has led to some AMAZING opportunities to both travel for sessions, and give back to the rescue community. Last week I traveled to Columbus, OH to take photos of two absolutely gorgeous German Shepherds. While I was there a local photographer, Mike Chambers, invited me to tour the new Franklin County Dog Shelter. This place is amazing! Its bright, beautiful, relaxing for the animals (semi-soundproof rooms – yay!), powered partially by solar, and a LEEDS building. The staff is so friendly, and obviously much happier to be there than...

Read MoreStop Action with Panning – the Monday How-To
Stop action shots are not all about standing still and capturing a moment in time. They are more of an amazing photographic dance with your body showing the moment and rhythm of your subject. (Yes I am a dork, but that’s how I best describe it ) The key to getting these stop action shots are not always fast shutter speeds – its coordinating the movement of your subject with your body movement. You want to match your body movement to the speed of the subject, sweeping along and turning as it moves towards you or by you. This is technically called “panning”. Here are some simple steps to building your “stop action...
