with this blog entry we’re bringing you a real mixed bag of 4-leggers … just a few of the scruffy faces that kept us hopping at scruffy dog headquarters this summer!
if you follow scruffy dog’s facebook page you will have already met some of these endearing faces …
first, there’s the gorgeous Willow, standing proud in the wheat field … you’d have no idea from this photo how swarmed we were by deer flies to get this shot and the others in Willow’s gallery.
i enjoyed working with Thai who was a challenge behaviorally … i love a challenge … and just look at how gorgeous this boy is!
senior Thai is an original shar-pei …
then there’s Dexter … who has lots to say …
and Diva … when mom Steph pulled out Diva’s Doggles that she wears on the motorcycle, i simply had to find someplace for her to perch …
repeat client Harlow is growing up quickly … and seems to have tapped into her zen-self …
what an awesome girl to work with.
then we spent some time with young, exuberant Sadie …
and shy, happy maggie with her ski-slope tongue …
little Maggie was a darling to work with during her scruffy session. we spent some time in the woods close to the studio …
and then in the fields …
then we met Kelsey for some scruffy camera time …
i also shared a photo of repeat client Miles as well, from his train tunnel/graffiti shoot … being very brave in the face of the very scary skull!
and of course, no blog entry is really complete without at least a couple of photos of resident scruffy, merrick goobernuts mcscruffy …
… catching a shower in the backyard …
and catching a few waves … his most favorite place ever.

i have been following you for a long time and just simply love your work. I agree in your blog that too many place emphasis on lens and what others are using. I have a go to lens that i love and then i have the 70-200 and 50mm When i first started i too was so curious on what lens to use, how do you get that shot and just learned to take the pics that i like and hope for the best. I am hoping this summer to increase my portfolio as well as i work towards my ppoc accredidation.
Halat SophieI want to be a scruffy in my next life.

It’s sort of a blessing (for lack of a better word)if you can relate to dogs as you do. Very beautiful to look at.
Thank you!
