Live the Fancy Life | Featured

Lucky Mutt Photography has one of my favorite images from Bentley and Tia’s session featured on Live the Fancy Life today!

Jessica blog highlights ways you can “live the fancy life” on any budget, no matter where you live, and many of her posts are about things right here in the Twin Cities. She’s currently featuring a series of posts on love (including my favorite–the love between pets and people!) that will go through Valentine’s Day. So hop on over there, and check out some of the fancy love that’s being captured all over the metro.

As a sidenote, Jessica is also on a mission to bring back handwritten letters, which is something I think is perfect for a certain upcoming holiday. (And no, I don’t mean President’s Day.)

bristol the boxer pup

When Katie contacted me this summer to inquire about a session for Bristol there were three little words in her email that made me squeal with excitement:

Brindled. Boxer. Puppy. (Weeeee!!)

Bristol’s session was so incredibly fun. She is clearly the apple of Katie and Will’s eyes, and rightfully so. She was playful, full of personality, and had that not-yet graceful puppy gait which is enough to make anyone melt! When I had a chance to review Bristol’s portraits after her session I was amazed at how many frames I had taken in the hour or so we were together. As is often the case at a session, I couldn’t stop myself from shooting such a happy pup!

A handful of my favorites from Bristol’s sunny session…

at the dog park | life in pictures

Last Saturday, we took advantage of the absolutely amazing weather by taking a family trip to the Battle Creek dog park in Maplewood.  Let’s just say that we weren’t the only ones to come up with that plan for the afternoon.  There were so many people and dogs at the park, and Phaneuf made a point to greet every single one of them.

Admittedly, I’ve gone completely overboard with the amount of images in this post, but hopefully you’re here to see photos, so you won’t hold it against me.

Phaneuf LOVES to play with puppies.

Nothing warms my heart more than when a little kid wants to play with Phaneuf.  Inevitably she always tests their level of comfort with her by giving them a big slobbery tongue to the face.

Seriously, did you think I could show dog park photos without some butt-sniffing??

Happy weekend!

Gunnar the Energizer doggie

When fellow Twin Cities photographer, Melissa (of Melissa Oholendt Photography), and I were finalizing the details of our recent session swap, Melissa told me in an email, “I know everyone probably says this about their lab but Gunnar is CRAZY. Sweet but psychotic. Just…fair warning.”

I don’t know about psychotic:), but Gunnar was definitely a very energetic playmate!  I think it’s safe to say that he didn’t stop moving for the entirety of his session.  When we headed outside Gunnar was here…

…then over here…

…over here…

…then here again…

…’Wait, what was that smell over here?’…

…’Oh, no, I think it’s over here!’:)

All kidding aside, Gunnar’s session was an absolute blast!  I had SO much fun chasing him with my camera (actually, some may argue that my squeaker and I had a little too much fun with Gunnar).  Melissa, I hope you and Matt enjoy these photos!

Emma the Lab

Emma is a happy dog.  She has a tail wag that gets her whole back end a swayin’ when she’s excited (which, as a Lab, I suspect is quite often).  Of course it doesn’t hurt that her people absolutely adore her.  Whenever I see Jen and Dave it is inevitable that we swap dog stories.  Anyone who has spent time around me knows that I don’t last long without talking about my girl, and I’m not going to lie, I enjoy being around people who can appreciate those stories and enjoy jumping in with their own.  Jen and Dave are those kind of people…their love for Emma shows with every antic and adventure they share.

Here are a few images from our evening playing together in the backyard…
