Photos For All Seasons

We happen to live in a spot that goes through the change of all four seasons.  Spring, summer, fall and winter.

Lately, those seasons have either followed their stereotypical patterns...or not.  It's anybody's guess sometimes what exactly the weather will be.  Even our local weather persons are prone to do broad scale guessing:  "snow between 3 - 27 inches," "rain and spotty showers depending on your location," "sunny and 80 for most of the day."  See, no definitives.

It makes for some interesting times.  I am CONSTANTLY watching the weather, so that client appointments can pretty much occur when we set the date and time.  I always build in another "weather" day, just in case.

FOUR SEASONS FOUR PHOTOS

My favorite thing to do, is to take pet photos in every season and put them into wall art.  It's a great alternative for dog owners, and doesn't necessarily have to occur in back-to-back years.  After all, the seasons each have their own color palette.  I've written about the different seasons and colors many times as part of the blog circle.  Let me show you what I mean using the example of my own dog, Talley.

SPRING

Spring is a great time of year.  It's VERRRRY green.  That green is peppered with new birth--springtime blooms.  It's a great time of year to find a non-rainy day and head to flowering locations, or even your own back yard.  Above, Talley is lost in deep thought on a path full of azalea bushes and bushy grass.

​SUMMER

Summer is my absolute favorite time of year.  Bright sunshine, and fields overgrown with Queen Anne's Lace and Goldenrod can't be beat for capturing a Setter like Talley.  But, there's also water options as well, for those that like to swim or fetch or just look for frogs in the pond.

​FALL

By now you are starting to see the differences in the color palettes, and the affects those colors have on a dog's coat and overall ambiance.  Of course in Fall, we have those red, yellow and orange glows not only in the leaves, but also in the background reflections.

​WINTER

When the snow hits, it's time for fun.  Whether your dog is an expert sledding companion, or just likes to root through the snow with his or her nose, there are plenty of great photos to be had in Winter.  Talley LOVES the snow and especially likes snow tunnels that she can run through at a fast clip.

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER

All four seasons captured during your pet's life can make for beautiful memories, and stunning wall art.  Canvas or Art Blocks are my choice for wall groupings.  Why am I telling you this?

NEW IN 2024

With the New Year brings new things!

I will be offering the "Season Sessions" photo package, specifically designed to capture your dog in all four of our Pennsylvania seasons.  The package will include four 30-minute sessions, with flexible scheduling, up to four locations, and four 10 x 10 (one of each session) Art Blocks.  Art Blocks are colorful canvas-like prints shipped ready-to-hang, and mounted wrapped around a wooden, solid face frame giving a sharp, clean edge with no loosening or sagging over time. 

Art Block samples can be viewed at my studio.  They are true quality pieces, and a great way to honor your best furry friend.
