This post has 2 humans, 1 cat & 1 dog in it
But the star of this post is the dog. Mia
This is the 1st time I have ever been hired to specifically shoot a dog. I could not put out of my mind when I was shooting her, that she is terminally ill. I thought for a couple of days about how I wanted to shoot her. I Googled pet pictures. Ugh. Nothing I saw really inspired me.
So I decided I would shoot Mia no differently than if I was shooting kids. Parents hire me to create a record of who their kids are at the age I am shooting them. In this case I am shooting Mia, who she is, her life, things she likes to do.
So this was a record but it was a very special one.
I have a feeling a picture of her will be hanging in their house forever
Mia tolerates but is slightly suspicious of her cat sibling
She loves playing with her balls & her rope
She enjoys sitting under the hammock in the back yard
She’s a ham who enjoyed getting her picture taken
She’s content sitting in weeds with the sun shining on her
She also will give you the side eye if you act sus
She seriously looks happy sitting in the back seat with the car window down
But more than anything else she loves her mom & dad
That was very apparent
I did this shoot with 3 different type of cameras
Digital
35mm
And a digital camera with a disposable film camera lens on it (yes this is a thing)
