Raleigh Pet Photographer in Charlotte: Clive

I blogged his owner’s engagement session yesterday, so now it’s Clive’s turn! :) Sarah and Jimmy got Clive in October, and he’s been getting big fast. They had been following my pet sessions and wanted to book him one after their engagement as well as get some “family portraits” with Clive, and I was happy to! Clive is a black lab mix who enjoys his green rubber stick, his green rubber ball, and getting his belly rubbed. Although he hasn’t gone hiking or swimming yet, I imagine he’s going to go on a lot of outdoor adventures this spring and summer now that he’s a little older and the weather is nice. :)

Clive is a sweetie pie. “Want me to turn my head a little like this?” :)

Look at that face! Clive is a fun-loving goofball. :)

“I’m getting a little tired and am just going to lean against your leg like this, okay? Okay.”

Clive decided he wanted to get some Doggy GQ shots in and voluntarily cross his paws and was looking very majestic. We love you, Clive! It was an honor to be your doggy photographer!

Raleigh Pet Photographer: Zeva

This is one of the happiest-looking dogs in the entire universe. Zeva, a little long-haired Chihuahua and furry daughter of long-time CSP supporters Stephan and Sean, had a session with us at a child’s playground in Raleigh. She was very excited, as you can tell by her little adorable expressions. She was also a big hit with the kids of the playground whom we were skillfully avoiding but kept following us around. :) Zeva enjoys Stephan, following Stephan around, and being with Stephan. She also likes her little stuffed bear and cat treats. :)

Below is the absolute quintessential portrait of doggy joy and it makes me smile every time.

I believe the toddler that strolled past in the picture below and to the right called Zeva a kitty… but it’s not too far off. She does eat cat treats.

Towards the end of the session… getting a little tired now. Posing with her little stuffed bear. :)

Raleigh Pet Photographer: Gracie+Gigi

You’ll see a lot of pets coming up on the blog. :) I’ve always wanted to get more heavily into pet photography, and with the help of clients past, present, and future, we arranged a bunch of mini pet portrait sessions for this spring with some adorable dogs and cats!

Meet Gracie+Gigi: the dogs of my very first wedding clients (who are two of the kindest and hilarious individuals I’ve ever met). Gracie is a Miniature Schnauzer (the larger, grey one) who enjoys being the protective older sister, treats, and being very well behaved. Gigi is a Shih Tzu/Poodle mix who likes following her mom around, being spoiled absolutely rotten, and dressing up in a bikini.

I knew this was going to be a great session when I was finalizing dates and times with Julie, their mom, and her first question was: “What should they wear?” ;)

The below picture is 100% candid, and pretty much captures the hilarity of the household. I do believe Julie was criticizing Gigi for being spoiled and unappreciative of her array of toys as she stands there in a dress with a little bow in her hair. Oh, Gigi.

Stay tuned for more Raleigh pets! :)
