Welcome to Love Mutt - The Blog!

This gorgeous creature is Sugar, a rescued pittie who is sweet and loyal.

And this lil scene stealer is her brother, Archie.  Also sweet…but would pass you over for a treat any day of the week.

I’m so excited to have my studio back.  It’s time for some new family photos of all my “babies”  I’ve only gotten 2 of them in there thus far…but I figured I’d share those anyway.

Naula…2-year-old pittie

Wolfy…6-year-old Maine Coon

And hey…we had family visit this weekend.  So we took some photos of my sweet 3-month-old neice, Jordyn.

Mommy, Daddy, and baby.  (Sorry Reds fans…everyone in our family are born and raised Cubbies!  That’s what happens when you grow up in Central Illinois.)

And finally…my parents…and their dog who hates being in my studio and makes my job really hard.

This delightful lil 9-month-old pittie puppy is Emmy.  And yes, she’s just as fun and playful as she looks.  She was abandoned in a house in Georgia and now belongs to a loving pack.  I mean, how can you resist that face?

Yesterday we met King and his “parents”.  King enjoys waffles, tennis balls, and jumping on every human being in sight.  He’s sweet, cuddly, and adorable.

Whose tongue is longer?  King’s?  Or Rocco’s?

Sorry this is a few days late.  Suffice it to say that my hard drive filled up and we had to make some room!

Anyhoo…this is Isis & Nemesis…two sweet pitties who like to “cuddle” with people who sit on the ground with them.

Isis

Nemesis (affectionately known as “Pigger”)

Playing…with something that used to resemble some kind of toy…

And with one of their humans, Dale

We were so excited to get to photograph another former foster, Frankie, for this project.  He was our second pittie foster and was adopted to a wonderful couple.  And 3 months ago got his own lil human brother, Kade.

Well, we managed to avoid the rain for part of the day and got one more session in.  Then we had the perfect storm…in more ways than one.  Between the rain, one of the dogs not feeling well, and home games for both the Reds and the Bengals (not good when you want to shoot downtown) we had to reschedule another session.  But again, you’ll meet those two next weekend.

So I present to you, Santana.  Her master died in 2005 and her grandparents graciously took her into their pack as one of their own.  She is very loved and very blessed.

Well…we got 3/4 of our day accomplished before the rain came and kept us from shooting our 4th pittie of the day.  But we are rescheduled and you will see King next week.

For now, I would like to introduce you to 3 more gorgeous pitties that we had the great pleasure of hanging out with today.

Teddy

Molly

Yesterday we photographed, Taffy, a 5-year old Scottish Terrier belonging to Cynthia, former owner of Hyde Bark Fashions.  Cynthia is now running a new design business called Interior Design Hound.  Taffy is just as goofy and playful as ever.  She definitely made us work for this one…but I love the shots we got.  Here are a few of my faves…

Don’t you just love this lil stool?

As promised, here are a few shots from yesterday’s pack of 5 dogs.  This went much smoother than I could have anticipated.  You never know what you’re going to get…especially with this many dogs.  But the session was actually pretty delightful.

Laya (also going to be a part of our Pit Bull Project)
