Besides photographing other people’s dogs, I try to make a point of capturing my own two corgis, Rigby and Brisket. I have a yearly tradition of doing a small photo shoot to celebrate on their birthdays. Rigby recently turned a whopping 9 years old, so we had a photoshoot to celebrate!
Setting the Scene:
For Rigby’s 9th birthday, I wanted to go with a classic, sleek black and gold theme. I was going for a little bit of a Great Gatsby vibe. I transformed my studio with colorful gold streamers layered on top of a black velvet background and completed the scene with a golden “9” balloon and glittery party hats.
Behind the Scenes
I attached yellow streamers to black velvet background paper. On the table I have a piece of black acrylic to create a reflection.
The Birthday Boy
This one melts my heart every time!
More Than Just Snaps: Memories Made
By the end of the shoot, I had a camera roll full of hilarious and heartwarming photos that perfectly captured Rigby’s personality. Our session was a joyful celebration of the unconditional love our furry companions bring to our lives. So Happy Birthday, Rigby! I am looking forward to many more years together still to come.
If you want to celebrate your dog’s birthday in style, then ditch the grainy phone pics and create lasting memories with a professional pet photoshoot. Trust me, you won't regret it!
