Project 52 – Black and White

This week's theme is black and white.  I photograph the cats at the SPCA during my volunteer shifts, but it's so rare these days to get kitty cat requests from private clients! Well I just had a cat-only shoot and the black and white theme was perfect for two shots in...

Project 52 – Week of the Selfie

This week's challenge to take a self-portrait with our best friends...our pets of course!  I love some of the "dog selfie" photos going around the internet. Cracks me up! I often get photos of me and my pups snuggled up on the couch with my phone, but holding up a big...

Project 52 – Indoors – Pit Bulls share Earth Day messages

The past two months have been crazy and I've missed a few Project 52 Fridays, but I am BACK!  This week's theme was "indoors." Many of us in the group primarily shoot outside and use natural light, so this was a challenge to move indoors and practice shooting in low...

Project 52 – A day in the life of two dogs

Project 52 – A day in the life of two dogs

This week's theme was "a day in the life" of our dogs! I work overnights in my other job and get home around 10am. First up, time for the dogs to play! We usually do this in the empty bonus room during these cold days but the dogs loooove snow so this week playtime...

Project 52 – Red – Holiday Greetings from Baxter and Lily

This week's theme was "red." Technically I took these photos in October and have only shared two of them so I'm excited to have some motivation to get things up on the blog!  I don't think I'll have a chance to send out personal holiday cards this year so I am excited...

Project 52 – Under the big top

This week's theme was all about being under the big top!  I was really excited about this theme even though I had no idea how I was going to pull it off!  But a trip to World Market helped me find some inspiration! I found a cute little felt bag in the shape of a...

Project 52 – The Seven Deadly Sins

This week's theme was "Seven deadly sin!" What fun!  I'm sure my pups could fit into a lot of categories!  I love this series displaying Lily's "envy."  I can give her and Baxter a ball or an antler and they always want the one the other one has.  A lot of times...

Project 52 – Words – Adorable dog quotes

This week's theme is right up my alley!  I love to marry words or sayings with my photographs and I especially love dog quotes!  This week it was so hard to choose which photos to use, but I hope you will enjoy some of this cuteness!  I actually started a series of...

Project 52 – Street Art – Downtown Raleigh Murals

This week's theme allowed for my favorite thing with photography...color. Lots of bold color. We were encouraged to find street art and downtown Raleigh has gorgeous murals. Lily and Baxter weren't the best models this time around, but their cream-colored and white...

Project 52: Bloopers

The theme for this week's Project 52 (a group of international pet photographers who focus on a weekly theme) is BLOOPERS! There is never a shortage of bloopers when I photograph the adoptable pets at the SPCA of Wake County! I share some on facebook, but always mark...
