Sundae and Anna | Michigan Pet Photography

During what had to have been one of the last WARM and gorgeous Fall days, I photographed two adorable dogs named Sundae and Anna.Sundae is the first Sharpei I’ve ever photographed, and she’s also the most unusual one that I’ve ever seen with her brown spots! I looked it up, and I guess being spotted is a recessive trait in the breed and not desireable at all by AKC standards. Whatever though, if she was my dog, I would love her forever and ever cuz she’s so fricking cute! She has the most gentle and sweet personality and absolutely loves belly rubs. Sundae reminded me of Achilles because every time you tried to move her, she would just flop over, so you would have no choice but to rub her belly, hehe.

Anna is the complete opposite of Sundae–rambunctious and has to be the center of attention. I loved photographing her though because she has the most expressive face, as I’m sure you’ll see in the following photos, haha. She was rescued from a horrible situation as a puppy from a pet store but is now living the life. For those considering getting a dog, please, please do your research and either adopt a dog from many of the wonderful rescues I work with or a reputable breeder.

Thank you Tara for letting me photograph your beautiful girls. I had so much fun! Hope you like their modeling debut ;)

[Update: ADOPTED!] | Sweet Pea and Eclipse

Sweet Pea and Eclipse are two adorable, declawed kitties looking for their fur-ever home.

Sweet Pea, like her name, is a total sweetie. She was a little cautious when we first brought her into the room, but with a little bit of affection, she was showing off her comforting purr in no time. (And might I add she’s a non-stop purrer ;) ) What’s really neat about Sweet Pea is that not only is she bunny soft, but she also has no tail! She belongs to a breed called the Manx. You can find a little bit more information on this breed through this link to Wiki.

Eclipse is a black cat, with a white spot on her chest. I think she also has the cutest round head ever! She loves being petted and scratched, and could be brushed all day.

They are both available through the Wishbone Rescue (Allegan Shelter). For more information, contact kakazyak (at) gmail (dot) com.

Bane & Raven | Canton Pet Photography

I first met Bane and his humans at the 2013 HSHV Walk & Wag event in May where I held a Doggy Portraits for a Cause fundraiser. I think he was a little nervous about having his photo taken because he gave me a super serious face. See below.

But I think after Bane saw how handsome he looked, he decided he looooooooooved being a doggy model, which is good, because his parents decided to book a session with me to photograph him along with his new sister, Raven. :)

Honestly, I know pitbulls get a really bad rap, but Bane and Raven were super sweet to work with, and I kind of wanted to take them home with me after their session… (shh, don’t tell their parents). Not only were they so much fun to work with, they are also super photogenic–picking out my favorite images to share was near impossible. Thank you Dana and Ray for such a wonderful photoshoot!
