Piper the Border Collie | Traverse City, MI Pet Photography

I forget how I first found Piper, better known as @airportk9 on Instagram, but I remember looking through his images, and thinking what an amazing life he leads. For those who haven’t heard about him yet, he’s a wildlife control canine at the Cherry Capital Airport in Traverse City, MI. If you want to see some really cool photos and videos in the day of the life, you should give him a follow!

I usually make a trip up north each year, because I feel like it’s mandatory if you live in Michigan. Brian, his human, saw that I was going to be in the area, and we set up a date to photograph Piper. Although their work is both a really big part of their lives, Brian wanted to focus more on capturing images of the life they share when they’re not at work.

I have to say, being able to witness the bond that they share–how in tune they were with each other on a non-verbal level, and the love and devotion that they had for one another (you can see it in their eyes)–was truly amazing. I feel truly honored to have been able to work with them both.

Our photoshoot took place at their favorite secret beach spot off of Lake Michigan, and we spent the session capturing Piper in his other element. I don’t think we could have asked for a more perfect evening with such beautiful lighting.

Thanks so much for a beautiful session, Brian! It was so wonderful to finally meet you both. I hope you love your images as much as I do. <3

Griswold the Boxer + Tomorrow the Rescue Pup | Dexter Pet Photography

Why are my clients so photogenic?

I seriously have the toughest time picking images to share on my posts. I’ll be going through and picking out my favorites images, and before you know it, I have thirty images, and I’m like no, no, Kat. This is way too many; people are going to get bored!

Anyway, the best I could do here is 28, so hopefully, you’re not bored by the end of this. I tried to include some funny ones at the end, so if anything scroll down to those, because those are a real hoot.

The inspiration for the session was because Griswold’s cancer came out of remission, sadly, after going through an expensive hip replacement. Given the cost of chemo and uncertainty of the outcome, Laura decided that it was probably best instead to capture some happy images of her little family to remember him by. We were blessed with a beautiful day in February and spent time doing all of their favorite things: playing, being allowed on the couch, and getting spoiled with love. Can you feel all of the love going on in the puppy pile images? :)

Thank you Laurie and Michael for being such good sports with everything–and especially Michael because he stubbed his pinky toe earlier that day and had to cram his swollen toe into a shoe. We know how much fun that is. Anyway, I hope you love the images from our session, and that they brighten your day!

“Squishy” Bear | Michigan Pet Photography

Yikes! Can’t believe it’s been over a month since I last blogged. No wonder I feel so rusty writing, ha.

The past four weeks have been a bit of whirlwind with organizing/running the 4th Annual Doggy Portraits for a Cause Fundraiser with the Humane Society of Huron Valley (HSHV) and my 12-day trip to NYC shortly after, where I took on the pets of New York. Needless to say, I’m in total recovery/hermit mode, with the upside being that I will have plenty of fun images to share over the next few weeks.

First up is Bear the Bull Terrier mix. An HSHV alum, Bear was featured as a “Pet of the Week”, which soon turned into “Pet of the Lifetime”, as Alana and Ben fell in love with him and soon took him home. They weren’t quite as in love with his original name though, which was Squishy (lol, kind of funny though), so they changed it to Bear.

Described as a southern gentleman with a bit of sass if he were human (not sure how sassy and gentleman quite go together, haha), some of his favorite things include being wrapped up in a heated blanket from the dryer (spoiled!), sunbathing, and playing with his favorite toy- a stuffed Christmas candy cane (clearly, his favorite time of year!).

Alana was so kind to share a few photos of Bear when he first came home (and with only a few spots on his little white body!). Since then, the number of spots have grown, and is happily spoiled and loved in his furever home. :) Thanks Alana and Ben for a wonderful session!
