Meet Remedy

The #1 Female Briard in the US

One thing I love about my job is getting to meet and photograph rare dog breeds. This majestic muppet is Remedy. Remedy is a Briard--and not just any Briard...she's rocking the dog show world as the #1 female Briard in the country!

Most people have likely never heard of the Briard dog breed before. These French herding dogs have quite the unique appearance with luscious locks for days (is it wrong to be jealous of a dog's hair?) Briards are intelligent, active dogs who have captured the hearts of many, including Thomas Jefferson and Napoleon!

Beautiful Briard

For this session, Remedy’s owner wanted to take some photos of her to use in a dog show advertising magazine to celebrate her successful championship. She wanted to do a two-page spread so we needed to make sure there was enough empty space in the photo to cover the centerfold and binding. Check out the final ad used in the magazine below.

Commercial Pet Photography - Columbus, Ohio, Magazine Shoot /  by Holly Hildreth

I absolutely LOVE working on commercial pet photography projects for clients. I recently had a fun project come up for Dogster Magazine that involved photographing some Afghan hounds for the cover of their June/July 2022 issue. Afghan hounds aren’t exactly dogs you see walking through your neighborhood every day, so I was super lucky to find two incredible dogs from Solina Hounds in Alexandria, Ohio. Owner Sophia graciously brought her Afghan Hounds, Inca and Genny, to me for their glamour shots. We wanted to have a true beauty magazine cover look complete with a fan to blow out those luscious locks. These two gorgeous ladies did not disappoint. Both models were so friendly, happy, and easy to work with that it made my job easy! Below is the final cover for Dogster, a small sampling of some of my favorite shots from this session, and a behind-the-scenes look at my set-up.
