Puppy Party


I enjoy shooting pets.  In fact, i'd say i've learned more from shooting my cat than all other photos combined.  I am aware of how weird that sounds.  

Animals are constantly moving, require precise focus and composition–most importantly, they rarely want their picture taken.  As an event and editorial photographer, overcoming these issues is part of my entire photographic challenge–and what helps give me an advantage when photographing people.

So when a good friend of mine got his new puppy, a Rat Terrier named Stetson Marshall, I had to seize the opportunity.  

This was not an official photo shoot.  I shot in their living room, while eating dinner and conversing.  That makes things fun, spontaneous–real.
