Phoebe + Lucy are two adorable fluff heads that I photographed this past Spring. :)
Brutus the Brussels Griffon | Royal Oak Pet Photography
After encountering my first Brussels Griffon (BG) four years ago at the Ann Arbor Art Fair, I’ve been dying to photograph one. They are seriously one of the most ridiculously looking dogs I’ve ever seen with their little Manchu beards. (By ridiculously looking, I mean ridiculously cute).
So when Erin contacted me about photographing her 9-month BG puppy, my face was like this: 😄😄😄
But then she shared she wanted to photograph Brutus in his Ohio State sweater, and I was like: 😬
Lol, OSU jokes aside, I decided to let that small detail slide. ;) #GOBLUE
Brutus didn’t disappoint the day of his session. He was more ADD than I expected, haha, but we still managed to capture some adorable shots of him with his many facial expressions. If you don’t break into a huge smile after looking at his images, I have to say there has to be something wrong with you, hah.
So random quirk that Brutus has: if you blow in his face, he tries to “eat” the air. Of course, we had to document this. The images of him doing this (towards the end of this entry) are fricking hilarious.
Thanks Erin for such an awesome shoot. Brutus is seriously an amazing dog. I can see why you love him so much. :)
Charlie, Mocha, Bella, & Oliver | Michigan Dog Photography
Just checked the last date I blogged, and it was August. Yikes!
I know, I know, I’ve been pretty bad about keeping this updated, but if you’re on Facebook, feel free to “Like” my page or follow me on insta for the latest work. I promise I’m much better about posting there more frequently!

If you think photographing one dog is hard, try four! This actually isn’t the first time I’ve done this believe it or not (check out Mollie/Vince/Lizzie/Dash from earlier this year, and Polar/Heidi/Beau/Duchess from last year), but I will say working with smaller dogs can be much easier than large ones!
I first met Jennifer at this year’s HSHV Walk & Wag event, where I photographed Oliver for my annual Doggy Portraits for a Cause fundraiser. I guess she was so impressed with my mad skillz, she hired me to photograph the rest of her pack. Her pack are all rescues and have wonderful stories behind them, which you will have to ask her about sometime!
Charlie (Dachshund mix), Mocha (random tufts of hair | Beagle/Dachshund mix), Oliver (Chihuahua/Bulldog mix) and Bella (Chihuahua) are all absolutely adorable in their own ways, but I will have to say I fell in love with Charlie. He always seems to be off in his own little world (probably because he is deaf) and has the sweetest expressions.
On a random note, Jennifer has the most amazing garden that I have ever seen, and I am immensely jealous of all the fresh veggies she gets to eat. If only I had her green thumb! Thank you and Jeff for such a fun and wonderful session. I hope you love all of their images!
(I love how Charlie looks like a little deer here, lol)
