What makes a good family portrait? First thing off the top of my head is: a dog. But that's too obvious, and I hate being obvious. So, here's what I really think makes a good family portrait.

I can't wait for my upcoming New York dog photography sessions. I'll be in New York for fine art dog photography clients June 16 - 18, 2017 and have two spots still open. Spring will be sprung, flowers will be out, the sky will be clear and New York will be in bloom - what a perfect time to be photographing! In the Spring, New York dogs get to do dog things, like sniff and play and run in the grass.

Photographing dog siblings is a really special opportunity. Just like human siblings, dog siblings have their own language, their own complex relationship structure, and their own complicated kind of love. Some dogs get along perfectly with the other dogs in their family, and some just have a harder time. Whatever the situation, I love when clients commission me to photograph two dogs together.

Read MorePancake and I are on Cape Cod for a little time off, and to work on a personal project for a bit. This morning we woke up to an amazingly beautiful and fluffy snow storm. Big chunks of snow were falling and the ground already had about 4 inches! As a sensitive terrier, Pancake does NOT LIKE precipitation of ANY KIND at all - rain, snow, puddles, mist, fog, sprinklers, etc.

I just read an article online about a man who spent 6 years - that's 4,200 hours and 720,000 frames- photographing the same Kingfisher bird hunting it's prey in the wild. Now, that does sound a bit extreme, I agree. 6 years?! 720,000 attempts?! You'd think that after the first year or so he'd just give up, or realize maybe he needs to learn a bit more about nature photography.
