Izzy and Cooper! Valentine's Day Photo shoots!

I hope everyone had a great holiday and enjoying the beginning of 2012. My holiday travels took me to Orlando to visit my mom and to Deep Creek Lake to visit my boyfriend Adam's family. After a busy holiday season photographing so many great dogs (and their owners) I soaked up the relaxation and emerged feeling refreshed for the new year.

So now my work is to post the loveliest of the photographs we took. This series is of Izzy and Cooper, two Vizslas that spent a chilly, sunny morning in December on the Capitol lawn. They are both sweet and exotic and oh my, how they can run! I had to really turn up my shutter speed so I could get more than caramel-colored streaks running across the frame. We got great shot of everyone, including a the quintessential DC portrait in front of the Capitol building.

I also wanted to let you all know that I am organizing mini-portrait sessions at Wylie Wagg in Tyson's on Saturday, February 11th from 12-5pm. Come and get your sweet one photographed! It will work just like before where sessions are $65 (plus $15 for each additional pet) and include either two high-res digital images or $25 to purchase prints. As always owners are photographed for free! Email me at houndstoothphotography@gmail.com for more information or to schedule your appointment.

Also, I am part of a fundraiser for Lucky Dog animal rescue at Wagtime in DC on February 12th. I'll have my studio set up from 10-1pm. Sessions are $35 (100% of which goes to Lucky Dog). You don't have to make an appointment--just show up!
