Our pets become our best friends over time. Yet they curse us with short lives. A quality portrait of your pet will let it live forever in your home and your life. My beloved German Shepherd, Kate, is the running-in-the-water dog on this page. She was my newspaper photo assistant her entire life. I got into trouble a few times for letting her photo-bomb front page pictures. She's gone now, but lives on in this picture of her chasing a stick in the lower Deschutes River and doing what she loved most. I love this portrait of her. It's a personal treasure. As a former newspaper photographer I'm very experienced in bringing out the emotion and personality of my subjects. Dogs all have unique personalities they share with their masters. It's what we love about them. Let me capture that personality for you to have forever.
