Mugsy – City Dog – Urban Pet Photography

Please meet Mugsy Bogues Florio, a boxer/pit bull mix,  who has been with his current family since December of 2007.  Musgy was adopted by his current parents after his previous owners moved and left him locked in an abandoned car in the back yard of his old home in the middle of the winter.  He is now incredibly spoiled by his new parents and has joined them on trips all over the eastern half of the United States!
Mugsy is currently battling cancer and participated in a Tribute Session, which is a special session specifically for ill or elderly pets.  He is quite a fighter though so we are all very hopeful that he is going to continue to have a nice long life being spoiled by his family.  He’s actually going to be a big brother to a little baby human in just a few months too!

I love doing sessions around the city.  There are so many interesting shapes, textures, and lines that I feel really adds to the images!  This session took place this past February in Oakland.

Mugsy loves his parents….
The feeling is mutual…
This dog also has the strongest jaws I’ve ever seen.  His dad can pick him up and swing him in circles while he holds a stick!!

A Growing Family – SW Florida Modern Pet Lifestyle Photographer

This winter I had the pleasure of meeting Macie and Molly for a session in Florida.  Our session day started out cloudy, threatening rain, and VERY windy.  Thankfully it cleared up by the evening and even gave us a gorgeous sunset.  I love the pink sunsets of Southwest Florida.  I really wish gorgeous pink sunsets happened regularly in Pittsburgh, but unfortunately they do not.  Heck, half the time we can’t even see which direction the sun is setting during the winter months when the clouds are 5,000 feet thick!

This wonderful couple is expecting a new human addition to their family in about a month!  Congratulations to you all!

Harry and Albus – Modern Pet Photographer Pittsburgh

I am excited that the weather is starting to get a little be more reasonable here in Pittsburgh because that means that all of the new sessions that are starting to populate my calendar can be held outside!!!  I have really been enjoying creating more pet photography sessions with a modern and urban vibe.  There are lots of gorgeous places to photograph around the city that are dog friendly.

I would like to introduce you to Harry and Albus, two much loved pups.  If you are a Harry Potter fan you may recognize the names…;)  We held this session back in the fall, and while it was a bit chilly, we had a gorgeous blue sky.  These two pups are just super sweet and very much loved by their momma.  Enjoy…..

Life is a beach – Southwest Florida Dog Photographer

It’s now March in Pittsburgh.  It was 67 degrees on Sunday and it’s supposed to snow tonight, which is Tuesday.  I would really love to spend every minute from January 1st through May 1st in the Ft. Myers area of Southwest Florida, but alas I only get to go down periodically.  Photographing my Southwest Florida clients is one of my favorite parts of winter though, partially because my clients are awesome people and partially because I get to play with dogs on the beach.  That pretty much just rocks, even if we may have been getting eaten alive by no-see-ums during this entire experience.

I would like to introduce to you Leila, a golden retriever that loves to run, swim, and dig.  Oh yes, she also loves to get scratches and treats from her parents…in true golden fashion.
Enjoy the images and if you are reading this in a cold weather environment I hope it warms you up just a tiny bit!

If you have a favorite pet in the Southwest Florida area that would like to have a few moments in the spotlight, please let me know on this session inquiry form.  I do make periodic trips and I will make sure to keep you on the list to let you know when I will be in town!
