I'm Danielle and I'm a professional photographer in Columbus. My focus is in contemporary portrait photography for children, high school seniors and pets. I do not have a traditional studio and shoot on location using natural light in Downtown Columbus, New Albany, Bexley, Gahanna, Westerville, Pickerington, Reynoldsburg and Blacklick. Special sessions are also available in the Youngstown, Ohio area throughout the year.

Rocky turned 1 this week and to celebrate his big day, we went to Heritage Park in Westerville for his dog portrait session. Rocky has SO much energy, but I was able to get some photographs of him when he’d stop to check something out. How cute is his little face!
Over the weekend, I had the amazing opportunity to meet some new photographers and learn a lot! I attended the Unleashed | fine art pet photography workshop in Chicago. I had three of the best pet photographers teaching me the tips and tricks of photographing man’s best friend. Teresa Berg, Barbara Breitsameter and Bev Hollis shared their wealth of information, a variety of techniques and three completely different styles of photographing and working with pets. And well, the dog models they had come out were just irresistible! I love the opportunity to build on my photography knowledge and I especially enjoyed becoming fast friends with the other attendees while learning what unique services and products photographers across the country are offering.
Below are just some dog photographs from the weekend. I’m currently working on the finishing touches of my pet portrait program and will be offering this to clients in the next few weeks. Stay tuned – I’ll be posting images on the blog from the cute and furry four-legged models I’ve recruited to build my pet portfolio.
Thanks again to Teresa, Barbara and Bev for sharing their knowledge. And for any photographers who stop by the blog, if you’re considering offering pet portraits to your clients, the ladies will be having two more workshops in 2010 in Dallas and Virginia!
Just a note, I will be out of the office September 18-21 with limited email and phone access. I will be headed to Chicago to attend a photography workshop. I’m excited to not only learn some new techniques but also meet some wonderful photographers from across the country. All phone calls and emails will be returned when I return on Monday the 21st.
