Pet Portrait Session :: Tahoe

This session had all the elements to be labeled an “ideal session.”  It had everything…an obedient and friendly dog, a welcoming and kind client, two locations starting at the home and followed by the beach, playful kids, nice weather, and last but not least, Margaritas!  With that said, I think these images speak for themselves,…

Rainy Day Schedule

It may not happen that often here in sunny Southern California, but we do every now and then get a rainy day.  It’s about the most seasonal change we see, so I welcome it with open arms.  It can be hard to get computer work done when it’s warm and sunny outside.  So, I took…

Project 52 :: From the Hip

For the third installment of Project 52, the chosen theme is “From The Hip,” which means we had to shoot while not looking through the viewfinder.  I find this method of shooting to be quite fun and spontaneous.  It’s always interesting to see what kind of images are produced.  Most of the time, I’m pleasantly…

Project 52 :: Newness

Inspired by the New Year, this week’s Project 52 theme is “newness.”  Not the easiest theme to work with, but it forced me to get creative, which is great.  I went about it three ways…taking the dogs somewhere new, trying something new with my photography techniques (both in and out of camera), and trying out a new…

Project 52 :: My Pets

The first theme for the 2012 edition of Project 52 is “My Pets,” where the idea, of course, is to take a portrait of our own pets to basically introduce them.  I think by now, my pets have been pretty well represented as Skyy Blue Photography Mascots, so there’s no real need for introduction. However,…

Snapshot :: January

It seems to be a growing trend for photographers to blog about their goals, especially at the beginning of the New Year.  I think this is a great idea for the photographer and the client.  As a business owner, we have to set goals and plan on how to achieve them in order to be…

Looking Back on 2011…

It’s officially 2012, and that makes me think about all the wonderful pets I’ve had the opportunity to photograph in the past year.  Between client sessions, volunteering at the shelter and participating in local events, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting so many unique pets and their people.  Even though my time with them may…
