Pupperware Party at Gone To The Dogs Boutique ~ St. Petersburg Pet Photographer

Good times were had by all on Wednesday, July 22nd. Gone To The Dogs Boutique held their first ever "Pup-erware Party". I had never heard of this term before. Once learning what it consisted of I was stoked to be a part. There was wine, food, chocolate, dogs, and dog vendors. I was one of the dog vendors that introduced my dog photography business, Pawsitively Pictures to everyone. And in edition to explaining what I do and how important it is to capture memories with your pup I held a giveaway for a free puppy portrait session. And the lucky winner.......Rohan and adorable shiba inu pup. Blog soon to come. Here are a few shots of the "Pup-erware Party" and the four legged attendees.

Combo and Kali

I had a blast last Saturday with Combo, Kali, and their parents Chris and Linda. They were visiting from Chicago and stopped by for a pet studio session at Gone To The Dogs Boutique. Unfortunately they were headed home the next day so I didn't get to spend much time with the little loves. Combo got his name because Chris and Linda weren't exactly sure what breed he was. They have had him for 14 years and while they still wonder what he is a mix of, they don't care at all because he is such a sweetie. Kali, is the five year old firecracker who was also rescued. She was little Ms. Personality in front of the camera. I literally could not stop laughing taking these pictures. Chris and Linda thanks for sharing your pups with me. Hope to see you all again next winter!

Barney Continued

When I arrived at Gone To The Dogs Pet Boutique to do some studio sessions all I knew was that I was going to be shooting a 3 month old adorable puppy. Thats all the owner of the store remembered. As I was awaiting his arrival I was going through in my head what black little puppies are there? Black lab? Black Poodle? Black Newfie? "No, no its a little dog won't get really big" Greg, the store owner told me, " I just don't know what kind he is". So big dogs out what little breed was black and cute? The suspense almost got the best of me when in walked Barney the 3 month old French bulldog and his mom, Laurel. O.M.G ! Love at first sight. He was so much fun to photograph. When Barney was on the ground all the wanted to do was explore and of course not have his picture taken. He did much better up on the chair. Here are some of my favorites from the day. And Im really excited that Laurel wants to have some family photos taken of her and her fiance with Barney of course. 

P.O.T.W

I HEART BARNEY!!!!

 More to come on this adorable 3 month old french bulldog but for now here is the photo of the week!

Lucy and Mame

Friday, January 30th was an action packed day full of dogs. Pawsitively Pictures was at Gone To The Dogs Boutique for pet portraits.Lucy and Mame were the second and third dog of the day.Its funny because whenever we start the portrait session I think the parents are more nervous than anyone. They are afraid their dogs wont photograph or wont sit still. Well...more than likely they wont sit still, there are so many new scents and bright lights however I have great tactics to get the dogs attentions. And all you need is a split second. By the end of the session the parents always leave proud of  their pups for taking a great photograph.  Check out Lucy and Mame's debut. 

Holiday Studio Pet Portraits

Well, here they are, a sample of the Holiday Pet Portraits from last weekend. Saturday, December 6th,  I was at Gone To The Dogs Boutique and than Sunday, December 7th,  took me to Best Buddies Boutique in downtown St. Pete. It was a blast and I feel like we were able to capture the personality of each pet. The response from the "paw-rents" have all been really positive so I think all were pleased with the outcome. Check it out for yourself and let me know what you think. Also, for more pet portrait samples check out Pawsitively Pictures.

One more thing, if you are interested in having your pet portraits taken in the St. Petersburg and Tampa, Florida area contact the two boutiques listed above. We are there every month and would love to meet you and your pet!

Coming Soon...

I'm so excited about this past weekend I had to give a sneak peak at what happened. Saturday was action packed with pooches, people and pictures. I was at Gone to The Dogs  Boutique in St. Pete Beach. It was a combination of both Holiday pet portraits and pet studio sessions. I had a blast, met some cool dogs and their human counterparts and took pictures. Sunday I was at Best Buddies in downtown St. Pete snagging a few more shots of some really cute pups. This shot was of Beth, Jenn and their adorable pups Brylie and Zoe. More to come on them and all of my pet sessions, but right now its back to editing.
