I love when I meet families that are so passionate about their pets and recognize them as family.  Our pets are always there for us, they don’t judge and they always are there to make us smile!  So, it was only natural that Denise and Robert included them in their family portrait session!  Add two kids, two pugs and a boxer, to round out this awesome family!

Memorial Day weekend was an exciting one for the dogs and humans of G.R.I.N.  (Golden Retrievers in Need Rescue Service).  This wonderful group put on their first summer picnic event called Bark in the Park.  It was held at on the grounds of the beautiful Brecksville Reservation.  I was so happy to be a part of their day, to photograph all of the fun!

A touching dedication to those that served, kicked off the event.  Special guest supporters of G.R.I.N., Joe Cronauer, from WKYC TV and an amazing young girl named Mabel, were both there.  Mabel is from Lovin’ from Mabel’s Oven and bakes and sells yummy dog treats to help raise money for G.R.I.N. dogs in need!  The day’s fun included games, food, dog hikes and doggy swimming pools for the pups to cool off in!  What a fantastic event!

Please enjoy these and all of the images taken at the event on my website to share with friends or purchase your favorite pictures!  Other featured photos also posted on my Facebook Page!  Be sure to “Like” it to stay connected!  Enjoy!  WOOF!

I was given the privilege to photograph Gotti, a gorgeous Doberman.  Gotti is a little bit older now, but you would never know it by the way he prances when he walks!  He smiles too!  It was such a beautiful night too for his session, held in the Brecksville Reservation.

Gotti was adopted two years ago from North Coast Doberman Rescue.  Enjoy the images!

It’s a great day when you have the opportunity to photograph an award winning sporting Labrador and an adorable puppy!  These dogs are close to my heart, as they are owned by Marie Goodwin of Ohio Air Dogs in North Royalton.  We met at one of my favorite places to shoot, Brecksville Reservation.  The early morning was a great time to let them frolic and play in the big open field and stream.  Enjoy all of their photos on my website, in the gallery called “Jack & Merlin’s Album.”

Meet Jack!

Jack is a beauty!  He’s all muscle and heart.  It was fun to watch him fetch and play in the park, outside of his normal sporting playground at Ohio Air Dogs.  This boy loves the water and his trusty frisbee!

Meet Merlin!

This puppy is a Blue Merle Border Collie.  He’s the newest addition at Ohio Air Dogs and is the sweetest boy.  His eyes are magical and is one of the most loving dogs you’ll meet.
