Chico, Ca. Pet Photography- Table Mountain, Oroville Ca.- Little Misha

This last weekend we decided to have a picnic up at Table Mountain, we had little Misha with us so I brought the camera hoping that there would be blooms and we could capture her running in them. However, we found ourselves to be a little early and there wasn't really any flowers in bloom, just a few specs of spring here and there. Still Misha had her own little photo session and was as cute as can be.

Chico Pet Portrait Photography- Kiley and Hallie

Last week my friend Kiley and I had decided to retake photos of her and her dog, Hallie. I shot pictures of the two of them when Hallie was just a puppy. Together we decided we wanted to head up to table mountain in hopes that some flowers would be in bloom and we would get some nice weather and a wide open blue sky. Sure enough, there were yellow blankets of flowers and the weather was cloudy out.

Being a Lab, Hallie had a lot of energy, so we played "chuck it" with her until she sort of calmed down. After playing "chuck it" and treating Hallie to some doggie snacks we were able to get the attention of the high energy dog.

Chico Pet Photography- Portraits with your Horses

A few weeks ago I helped set up an event at my really good friend Tammy's horse stables. They event was titled "Pictures with your horses". This was an opportunity for all of her clients to get portraits of them with there horses. All the clients got really into the event and brought antlers for their kids to wear and poinsettia wreaths for around the horses necks.

Also I had two wonderful assistants at this event, Vinnie (whos work can be found HERE) and Don (work found Here). I would not have been able to do this without either of them. Vinnie, the ever wonderful and faithful reflector or second shooter boy, was as always right there when I needed him. And the Amazing, Don was set free to take wild action photos of the girls riding there horses. It was a Great event and I am lucky to have such wonderful assistants who made everything possible. Thank you Guys!!

Chico Pet Photography- Baylee and Cabo Wabo

Last weekend we went to Calpine, Ca... to work, relax, hike, hot tub, drink wine and of course play with the doggies. I just love both of these dogs. They are so different in personality. Baylee is more reserved and calm, very decisive in who she trusts. And then there is Cabo, just a puppy, Loves everyone and everything. He is one Ball of FIRE.

Here are just a few pics of them. Yes I had to play with them in PhotoShop, because that is how I roll:)

Meet Cabo Wabo:

Chico Pet Portrait Session- Debbie, Chloe and Annie

Here are the rest from my last photo shoot. Like I said, I think my camera is becoming a fan of the puppies. I do enjoy these photo shoots. A little challenging especially when the puppies are so excited to be there. But the results are very fun.

Chico Pet Photography- A liking to pets

So, I have been finding myself shooting more and more pets. Mostly dogs, because they are so cute and lovable. And, well, their owners love them. Here is a tease from a shoot I did last Friday. Meet Chloe. She is six years old and such a sweetheart. Since I have been slacking on my teases... more to come soon;)

Chico Pet Photography- Sid the puppy

Here are the rest of the adorable Sid. He was such a great model and such a joy to take pictures of. But I didn't realize how happy I was going to be with results until I got to load the images onto my computer and actually play with them. It was absolutely beautiful out and the clouds really made the pictures so much more exciting.

First I want to introduce Tara. My roommate, friend and, assuming one day I get my own little puppy, my personal dog trainer. Like I said before Tara gets pictures from me because I can't say no to her, but trust me, her day will come too and she wont be able to say no to me.
Here she is Tara-T at wrok:





And here is the rest of the adorable puppy, Sid.

Chico Pet Photography- Sid the puppy Tease

There is probably only one person who gets photos for free. And who other then Tara-T. Well, maybe that's a lie. But for the most part I hook her up. Today Tara and I took the puppy she is training to the 20th street park in Chico, Ca. She asked me if I could take some photos of the puppy for the owner. And, of course, cause its T I am not allowed to say no. Even if I want to say No, she wont take No for an answer. Anyways, I had a lot of fun and the puppy did so well with his lesson (if anyone needs a dog trainer, i got the girl for you). Here is the 1st picture of the shoot today, I will put up some more soon!

Chico Pet Portrait Photography- Here you go Miss Kiley

Normally I will wait a little longer before I put the rest of my photos up from a photo shoot, just to keep the anticipation up. But I know how excited Miss Kiley is to see these, so here they are. The rest of Kiley and her new puppy, Hallie.
