Cedar

This was a very special session - a Christmas surprise for Cedar's mother, who has been with her for 16 years. Cedar was very sweet and showed surprising energy as she came bounding down the stairs to greet me. She's old, but still has plenty of life! She was happy to share her bed with feline brother William.

As a documentary pet photographer, I really try to tell a story with my pictures. I hope I was able to capture a little of what makes Cedar so special.

Season's Greetings

I just wanted to wish everyone a very happy holiday season. Thanks to everyone who supported this endeavor and made 2007 a great first year for FidoJournalism. I was fortunate to work with such great clients. I look forward to what 2008 has in store!

I thought these images were fitting:

Arbo

Arbo is quite the charmer. He is one cute Goldendoodle, and it's impossible not to fall in love with him at first sight.

Snow!

We had our first snowfall of the year this week and the boys were loving it, especially Cooley with his Husky heritage. He literally does not want to come inside, content to just sit on the porch and listen to the cars go by. It's amusing (except when we need to leave for work). I took a few pics when I had a chance, but wouldn't you know that my favorite shot is this one that my lovely wife Carolyn took. I've been giving her a few pointers, but I guess now I have to watch my back. She might steal my gigs.



And just so he doesn't feel left out, here's one I took of Jingles, ever the watch dog.

Sonny & Gibbs

I knew I was going to get along with Sonny and Gibbs - after all they are named after Washington Redskins (like our boy Cooley). Sonny is the lovable Bichon, while Gibbs is the energetic Lab mix. Both were rescue dogs from A Forever Home. We had a fun backyard session!

Gibbs patrolling the yard...




Sonny was a little shy at first...


Gibbs gives a good shake for a treat...


Gibbs wondering who is the strange man laying in his yard...


LOVE the Redskins collar...


I wish I could show you how this picture came about. I was laying in the grass shooting the above pictures of Gibbs and Sonny wanders over and decides to stand on my back. I basically shot this one blindly, but I like how it came out!


I love how Sonny is looking up at his mommy as if saying "Pay attention to ME!"


One of Sonny's favorite spots for R&R...

Winston

Winston is an adorable Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. He loves to play with toys in the yard and look out the window. He pretends to be a ferocious watch dog, but he really loves everyone. Here are a few highlights from our session.

Monty & Taz

Monty and Taz make quite a combination. Monty is the bulldog who loves everyone. Taz is the cat who loves everyone but Monty. Getting them together for a picture was out of the question, but we had fun anyway.

Taz wasn't too keen on pictures at first...


Monty flashing his smile...


Monty could be the Georgetown University mascot...


Monty loves his toys...


Taz on the prowl...


Getting some love from Dad...


Did I mention Monty and his toys?


This one cracks me up. Gotta love the underbite...


I think Taz warmed up to me...


Monty from above...


Pooped!
