A couple galleries had to briefly take a backseat for something a little special yesterday. My nephew only graduates 8th grade once, and making sure those memories were finished first was important to me.

That said, I know a lot of you are waiting very patiently for the Mason Dixon German Shorthaired Pointer Club trial photos. I’m actively working through them and still on track to have everything wrapped up by the end of the weekend.

I promise they’re coming. I’d rather take the extra time and deliver galleries worth the wait than rush through moments that deserve more than that.

Now back to editing dogs at full speed 😄

Mason Dixon German Shorthaired Pointer Club from Sunday, May 17. The dogs were definitely feeling the heat, but that didn’t stop them from showing up and doing what they do best.

The gallery for the AKC Scent Work trial at Bella Vista is complete!

I always appreciate the support, the kind words, and everyone who stops to chat while I’m running around with cameras in hand. I truly love doing this and getting to document these moments for you all.

Now go relive the weekend and pick your favorites 🐾

Candids.

I’m not usually one to brag on myself, but lately the feedback I’ve been getting about my photos has truly meant so much to me. Every compliment, every message, every “you captured my dog perfectly” does not go unnoticed. Thank you. Seriously.

I take a lot of pride in what I provide. Anyone can take a posed photo, but I’m always looking for the moments in between. The quick glance back at you, the excitement before a run, the focus, the chaos, the tiny expressions people don’t even realize happened. Those are the moments I love most.

I overshoot on purpose sometimes because I know that special moment is usually right around the corner. The split second after the “perfect pose” is often where the real magic happens.

This business is my pride and joy. My baby. I genuinely love what I do, but seeing all of you love the images just as much, if not more, honestly warms my heart more than you know.

I’m also a perfectionist to a fault and can be incredibly critical of myself. I’ll notice tiny details that make me cringe while everyone else is loving the image. So hearing the constant positive feedback lately has been really reassuring and motivating for me.

I don’t just want to give you photos. I want to give you moments you didn’t even realize someone caught. Seeing those candids become some of your favorite images has reminded me exactly why I do this. 🤍

“But you can barely see the dog.”

That’s the point. I love finding shots like this where the dog is just part of the scene instead of the entire scene.

“Before we begin this exterior search, I’d like to call everyone to the table to discuss the current hide placements and filing of complaints.”

I’ll be at the NEMKC AKC Scent Work Trial May 23–24 capturing the weekend as it unfolds. I’ll decide Saturday morning where I’ll be set up, but most likely focusing on exteriors and containers, with some interiors depending on room size and access. Looking forward to seeing everyone and their dogs work.
