The handler shown in this image always wears a straw hat with a pretty colored scarf around it that matches her outfit. I apologize for not knowing her name, but she always wears such pretty clothes in the ring. This particular day she wore a turquoise and green flowing skirt and turquoise jacket. I had just the right textured background to blend with her outfit and showcase the Belgian Malinois in this image. For me, the straw hat in the corner totally makes this image! Not to mention that it’s the same coloring as the dog, who just happens to be adorable!

I’m a photographer first … and a dog show photographer second. I don’t look to photograph traditional run of the mill images. I hope that my photos convey the heart and soul of the dog and relationships between dogs and their people, be they owners, handlers, or even spectators. If you see me at a show, I’m often trying to find a good vantage point from which to photograph where there is an uncluttered background. I’m looking for interesting colors, patterns, angles and expressions. Something different!

Can anyone say “Spa Day”? A walk around the grooming area at any dog show often results in some great photo ops! This image is from the Bald Eagle Kennel Club show in Bloomsburg, Pa. last weekend!

Here’s Sussex Spaniel “Kamand’s Full Of Beans@ Erinhill” at the Bald Eagle Kennel Club show in Bloomsburg, Pa. over the weekend. The Sussex is high on my list of favorite breeds that I would love to own. How could anyone resist this face?

I fell in love with this photo of David Fitzpatrick and General Tso (Grand Ch. Pequest General Tso) as soon as I downloaded it from my memory card. I don’t have an opportunity to see this dynamic duo in the show ring very often, but when I do, I take a ton of photos! It’s always a treat to have a chance to visit with them!
