Bruiser ~ {Pensacola, FL Pet Photography by Allison Shamrell}

Friday, April 22nd, 2011

Here are more images from my session with Bruiser, the handsome old boxer!

We spent our time in two different backyards for our session, his mother’s and his grandmothers! As luck would have it, they live only a few houses away from each other, and Bruiser pretty much has the run of both places. You can see a bit of the beautiful greenery and scenery (hey, that rhymes!) in the photos from each place. Here’s his video slideshow:

 

 

Yep, Bruiser’s pretty much at retirement age, and gets to sit back and relax in these green oases every day. What a nice view.

Sneak Peek: Tatu & Smoochy! ~ {Pensacola, FL Pet Photography by Allison Shamrell}

Thursday, April 21st, 2011

Well, after they became world famous, I had the pleasure of photographing the magnificent Smoochy & Tatu in their home the other day! (Curious about their fame? Click here, then click on “The Magazine”!)

These two beautiful Maltese dogs are both boys, and they had me laughing pretty much the entire session! They’re very funny together, and certainly entertaining to have around! My dog Bailey is way jealous of their beautiful hair. That’s right – did you know Maltese dogs have hair, not fur? Crazy!

Here are a few moments from our time at their parents’ gorgeous home in Pensacola…

 

 

It’s not easy looking this good in the lap of luxury. But don’t worry…

 

When these boys are outside, they let loose!!

 

 

 

How can you not love dogs like these?

Tobey & Jack ~ {Pensacola, FL Pet Photography by Allison Shamrell}

Friday, April 15th, 2011

These dogs are just funny – and I think they know it!

Tobey is the dachshund, and Jack is the peigle (that’s a shar-pei/beagle mix). Tobey tends to run in circles when he gets excited – and I think he loved seeing all his photos, since he practically wore a circle-shaped hole in the ground during our ordering session! It’s hilarious to see him get so worked up (especially at the dog next door – you’ll see his rapt attention at the backyard fence in the slideshow!) and Jack just sits. And watches. And probably thinks to himself, “Here we go again.”

Enjoy your video, Jack and Tobey! Try not to get too excited.

 

A few of my favorite photos from the session:

 

 

 

 

Thanks for such a fun session, Chad and Michelle! I can’t wait to see the products you ordered!

Saber, Tayte and Zara ~ {Fort Walton Beach, Florida Pet Photography by Allison Shamrell}

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011

Let me tell you what, these dogs have the life. In fact, I think the phrase “you lucky dog” was coined years ago so that it could one day be said to THESE dogs!

 

Saber, Tayte and Zara live with their mom, Nicole, who owns and operates the fabulous 3 Dogs & A Chick, a dog specialty store in Fort Walton Beach that’s known all over the Florida Panhandle for its incredible supply of fun, healthy goodies for dogs and their people! This means these dogs pretty much get their pick of healthy food options, organic treats of all kinds, adorable collars and leashes, and bunches of interesting toys!

 

And if that weren’t drool-worthy enough, they live on a gorgeous acre of land that they share with Nicole’s horse, Chick! So they spend their days running around in the grass, barking at the garbage truck on the street, and hanging out with another (much bigger!) 4-legged friend.

 

If I were a dog, I’d be pretty jealous.

 

Anyways, here’s a Sneak Peek from our session on Monday! Saber is the old guy with plenty of gray, Tayte is the big girl that has the same pretty brindle coloring as Saber, and Zara is the younger girl with white markings.

 

 

 

 

 

Check out the dirt on Tayte’s tongue – gross! She doesn’t seem to mind though!

 

 

Enjoy these photos – Nicole, I’ll be in touch soon!

Britney & Toto ~ {Gulf Breeze, FL Pet Photographer Allison Shamrell}

Friday, April 8th, 2011

These are a couple of lucky dogs!

Britney is the dark-colored cockapoo, and Toto is the tan little yorkiepoo. These pups have two loving little girls to play with, a beach in their backyard, and an adorable little stroller they get wheeled around in! If that isn’t the puppy trifecta, I don’t know what is.

Here is a short video slideshow with a few highlights from our time together. Below it are a few of my favorite photos… these dogs were such good sports throughout our session! (Their mom, Leslie, showed some pretty impressive hustle, too!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks, Leslie, Emma & Kate! I’m excited to see your products once they come in!
