Most days my job doesn't feel like work. I truly love what I do and c'mon, photographing a litter of puppies is pretty darn fun (and then there's the puppy breath!). For the breeders of these puppies it's a labor of love, but it's also a business. Running a quality breeding program isn't cheap. The breeders I work with devote significant time and financial resources into the dogs in their programs and in many cases, they are also beloved family members. Quality imagery for a website and marketing purposes sets you apart and draws attention to your program's value while also educating potential puppy parents as to why they should select one of your puppies. 

It's week 36 in the Pet Photography 52 Week Project and the theme is "work", so I thought I'd take this opportunity to write a blog post about the work of producing a litter of puppies - and it's no small feat when done well! I love that my work as a pet photographer helps local Dallas - Fort Worth dog breeders draw attention to the quality of their programs and as a dog trainer, it fills my heart to know that there are so many great ones out there working hard to produce healthy and confident canines that will thrive in their new homes.
