Some of our favorite moments include: watching a Labrador get frustrated they couldn’t fit every tennis ball in their mouth, seeing an owner sit patiently with their dog who wasn’t comfortable joining the play and getting soaked by a stampede of dogs running through the shallow end.
So here is part two, which mostly contains the medium size dog group. This group loved the water and loved running up to us to shake their wet fur all over our equipment. We knew what we were getting into.
We have been on the lookout for a dog pool party to document. Not only is it a wonderful opportunity to practice some action photography skills, but witnessing dogs having the time of their lives is kind of intoxicating. We also love getting involved with Toledo area pet owners. When we noticed Glass City Dog Park share their event on social media, we reached out to see if they would like us to come take photos of the Jack’s Pooch Plunge.
“They were so good with Pearl and gave her time to investigate and get comfortable in the studio before getting started! All the snackies made Jessica her new best friend, while Rebecca expertly snapped away, getting the best dog smiles and perfect poses!”
We are always looking for new ways to learn, improve, and challenge ourselves as photographers and animal lovers. Having 4 goats in the studio was definitely that and more. I was well aware that having goats in the studio would not be practical and would be messy (I may have sat in pee) but documenting the beauty and personality of these animals was worth the effort.
At the end of last year, Jessica and I decided we wanted to personalize our client experience a little more. We reached out to Tori about designing a custom collar charm for Trumbull Photography. Tori joined us in-person for a consult/brainstorming session to pin down what we were looking for.
Welcome to FLUFF-uary! We want to share the amazing pets who have been entered in our photo session giveaway. These 27 animals are obviously all photo worthy, but only one can win. You may cast your vote once per day by filling out the form at the bottom of this post.
Any pet is a commitment to care for and protect. Their life is entirely dependent on you. Knowing what you are getting into as a pet owner is important for both you and the animal, so we strongly encourage anyone thinking about getting a new pet to do their research and never stop learning how to be the best caretaker possible.
We get to see the goofy bloopers from our sessions but we don’t often share them in our portfolio. It’s time to pull back the curtain and let you giggle with us over these truly adorable fails. Do we always get nice photos at our sessions? Yes. Is it easy or predictable? Never. Do the pets behave? Hardly!
I've worked with Jessica before, so I knew she'd be professional. She was engaged with Lola and made sure she was always comfortable. I had briefly mentioned that Lola has some neurological issues in the past, and she changed up her setup with no hesitation.
Often times, smaller animals get overlooked for the important role they play in our lives, and the joy they bring. Members of the rodent family have shorter life spans. There are people who think this gives them less value, but having a pet that is time-limited makes those moments even more precious.
Documenting senior pets is very important to me. As I see my own dogs aging, I can imagine how important their photos will be when they are gone. We don’t get as many years as we would like, but we can choose to capture their time with us through photos.
One of our goals this year is to work with new types of creatures. As Toledo pet photographers, we want to show that we are not limited to dogs and cats. We will photograph pets with scales, with feathers and even hairless ones. All your beloved family members deserve to be documented.
I was very excited to document a new breed of cattle. The characteristic that stood out to me about these Highlanders was their curiosity. These particular cattle are not very accustomed to being up close and personal with humans but that did not stop them from trying to investigate the camera or myself. Highland cattle are known for their friendly nature with humans.
Having a foster home in which to give birth, learn to care for the puppies, and recover can be a true life saving resource. Those foster families can be difficult to find. Signing up for one dog is a big commitment, imagine having one mom dog and fourteen puppies like this litter! Planned Pethood foster, Heather, shares some of her insight from opening her home to these families in need.
He will always be my baby boy and my 65lb weighted blanket. He brings so much joy and cheer into our lives. Also a lot of mischief and borking for attention, but his positive attributes are so worth it. Titan is all fun and games until someone is upset... He will climb on top of you and force you to pet him until you feel better.
Working with different animals shows me how each species has a variety of personalities and temperaments. The biggest thing that I have learned is to be patient and to have realistic expectations of an an animal.
We are so excited to be offering Lavender field sessions this year! Last summer was our first time at Luckey Road Lavender Farm. Kylee has such a beautiful field and she welcomed dogs with no hesitation. Speaking of dogs, this post features Reise, the Luckey Lavender resident dog. She stole our hearts and we loved getting to document her.
“What stood out to us most about our experience with Rebecca was her love and passion for working with animals. She made all of us feel so comfortable, including Pippin. She was so kind and easy to work with and we couldn’t have chosen a better photographer to take photos of our special boy and our family.”
Despite his talent and passion for the city, the first thing I noticed about Doug was his dog. A golden doodle named Elsa who never seemed to leave his side. He often shares images of her tagging along on his adventures at work throughout the region. When I learned that Elsa had been there for Doug through some hard things, I knew that their story was worth sharing this month.
