This photo series started after a conversation about how black dogs have a harder time getting adopted than other dogs. I decided to start a photo series photographing black dogs on a black background in my studio. Using social media, I recruited local dog owners to come to my studio to let me photograph their dogs. The project reached a critical mass and, once it was picked up by the Huffington Post, it went viral. This blog was one of the top Tumblr blogs of 2014 and has kept growing. The book is now available online or you can order it directly from me.

Iggy got to meet Winston when we went over to his house for the photo reveal for the family. I would say that they hit it off.

Letting black dogs play in the green grass. :)
Lucy was very good for the camera
I’ve started a new project called All Mixed PUP. Much like the black dogs project, I’m creating studio portraits of mixed breed dogs. If you liked this black dogs project, I think you’ll like this too. Please check it out, follow and share.
I love my photos so much, I painted our family room so I could hang these photos.
The 16-month Calendar for the black dogs project is out now. It is pretty exciting that this project has been doing so well for so long. I’m doing a giveaway that starts on Friday (Oct 6) until the end of the month. You can find it on my Facebook page or go right to the raffle.
If you can’t wait, you can pick it up at Amazon or ask your local bookstore to carry it. Either way, thanks for the support.
If you do buy it from Amazon, please write a review. It will make it easier for people to find.
Happy National Black Dog Day (October 1). This was the photo that started me on the journey to create the book that changed my life.
You can also ask your local bookstore to carry the latest calendar! Thanks for the support.
Sorry for being so quiet for so long. To book is done and the 2018 calendar is out but that doesn’t mean I stopped shooting. Just trying to keep things going.
good to see the conversation still going.
Wexler is a service dog from Canine Companions. He came to my Mini Session I’ve started doing at Especially for Pets stores. My first shoot was at the Sudbury Ma store and it turned out great. I’m so happy that I get to continue creating photos like this. Part of the proceeds from the sessions will be going to CCI which does such an amazing job raising, training and giving dogs to people who need them at no cost. Wexler makes his owners day so much better and they will love having his photo forever.
My next mini-session will be at the Newton store and then in Westborough in May. If you’re in the area, please let me know.
Sad to say that Emmi has passed away. She was an amazing therapy dog who made everyone feel better even days before she passed. She will be missed but she was given the best life a dog could ask for. RIP Emmi.
