When it comes to expressive faces it’s hard to beat Basset Hounds and Bulldogs — they make a pet photographer’s job fairly easy compared to some breeds. When you have them both in the same household it’s like manna from heaven (apologies for the biblical reference — that’s about as close as you’ll ever see [...]

I thought it might be fitting to start following the theme of this blog literally. I photograph a lot of dogs (and cats — but reconciling that with this blog title is for another post entirely) and when you actually catch one grinning it can be a real rush. This week’s star is a miniature [...]

This time the star was a tiny little guy named Sammy Darby Jr. He’s an 8-year old dachshund whose new owners adopted him from Rocket Dog Rescue. His name was orginally just Darby but when his new parents discovered he only had [...]
