This is a homage to Alisha Minnette, a photographer who brilliantly photographed her dog as if it was her child. Few days after I saw Alisha's images on FB, Jessica and Ryan contacted me with request to do something similar with their dog. Since I do both: photograph children and dogs, and in my experience, Alisha missed few funny cliche images, I was very excited to collaborate! :)
My philosophy when it comes to family and child photography is this: if someone has a "bad hair day", does not want to be photographed on that particular day or any other reasons; there is no point pressing the issue. The photographs will never look good. So when I started photographing Nicole's family and one member (let's say it was a dog) had a "bad hair day", naturally, we rescheduled the photo session. And we got much better results second time around.
