We are in the process of having a studio space available on a limited basis. M&M has been working hard to build out the space for me. One of my requirements is that I want to be able to shoot high key photography. Cosmo likes to go to work with me, he likes to be wherever I am period. M&M is in the process of finishing the cyc wall (how lucky am I). Cosmo loves to play on the cyc wall, he’s even willing to pose on occasion.
I have had a really difficult time getting good photos of Cosmo, especially inside. That is until I met Paula Wessells of Doxzen Pet Photos. Paula has given me several tips on how to photograph a black dog with all black features. Take a look at her portfolio, her photography is inspiring.
In the studio we’re still making decisions on lighting. Hope to have something on order when I get back from the One Light Workshop with Zack Arias. Lights and a few more construction details and we’ll be booking studio sessions.

And Ike had to have these.
This morning was ugly getting ready for school. Spike thought he could wear shorts with his fedora. Ummm… it’s 27 degrees outside. Let the drama begin!
