Commercial Pet Photography - Columbus, Ohio, Magazine Shoot

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.

Westerville, Ohio, Pet Photography Session - Oksana the Husky

I absolutely love springtime! The warmer temps, vibrant splashes of color, and beautiful spring flowers—it’s all a perfect recipe for a great outdoor pet photography session. For Oksana the husky’s session, we used both Astronaut Grove Park and Everal Barn and Homestead at Heritage Park in Westerville, Ohio. Not only did we get amazing spring colors to work with, but we were lucky enough to catch a perfect sunset as well. But our photo shoot didn’t stop there! Oksana and her owner were great sports and stuck around a little longer so we could keep shooting into twilight. This allowed us to got some dramatic blue hour photos featuring dark clouds rolling in, making for a truly dynamic pet session.
