Pet Star Photos

OK, I just finished a project for Fort Wayne Newspapers Pet Star contest. I shot photos of the 12 finalists for use in a calendar. There were 10 dogs and 2 cats, all of which were absolutely adorable. While I have shot pets from service animal letter as part of family portraits, I haven’t shot animal portraits before. While it was certainly challenging at times, it went pretty smoothly. Also, I love animals so I thought it was fun. I posted 3 photos below.

Now, before anyone gets mad or yells at me for not including their pet, I just picked 3 animals randomly and these are not in any order. I don’t have time to post all 12 because I need to be working on the proofs and I have  a ton of other photos to edit. Since I want to keep the blog updated every Monday, I just picked three photos so you have an idea how they turned out.

All the animals were true champions in my opinion and I can reallly see why their owners love them so much. 🙂
