Houndstooth participated in a charity event with K-9 Lifesavers Dog Rescue several months ago by…read moreoffering free sitting to anyone attending the event with their dog(s). We took our two dogs (pre-dog 3 and dog 4) into the city for the first time to get some photographs taken of them since they are naturally the best looking dogs around. Bob-O and Bella were very distracted by the new scents, odd sounds, various people, and the cookie table caught Bella's eye the minute we walked in. Bob-O would have probably noticed it, too if he wasn't only two inches off the ground. There were two women helping with the photographs - one with a camera and one with a ball. They were both wonderful with the dogs, trying anything necessary to get them to focus long enough to hold still. They took many pictures while were there regardless of whether or not the kids were actually in position to be photographed. We were hoping that at least we'd get one or two good ones of them before leaving. While we started to feel ourselves getting a little frustrated at Bob-O's and Bella's inability to sit on the white paper rather than sitting every where else, the Houndstooth crew never showed a moment of irritation or frustration at trying to get the dogs to hold still for a few shots. Big plus for us. The pictures were adorable and well worth the trek into the city. We plan on getting pictures taken again once the Dog #4 is full grown - so we have the entire family together. The prices for the sitting are a little expensive - I'd rather pay more for pictures when ordering than pay an upfront fee for the sitting - but they are great at getting good shots. Plus, if you're a client of The Backyard Pack you get 10% off the sitting cost! Now that's a great deal.

Gracy did an amazing job with the photo shoot for my dog Brian. I lack creativity and couldn't…read morereally think of places to shoot but Gracy found great places and the photos turned out amazing. We started outside of my house and walked down to Shirlington and took photos at the park. She got great photos of my dog in the water, I never would have been able to crouch down and do all that. Many of the photos were literally breath-taking and everyone who's seen them loves them. I'm having so much trouble deciding which ones to buy as prints since they're all amazing! I wish I'd found her when my dog was a puppy because I really wanted to capture those days but better late than never.

My experience with Lori at Red Leash was nothing short of stellar. Prior to the photo shoot, I…read morecompleted a questionnaire so she could get a feel for my dog's personality and the 'look' I was hoping to achieve in the pictures. We also talked on the phone to review everything ahead of time; Lori's commitment to understanding me and getting to know my dog was something I didn't expect but really appreciated. Lori came to my home in Germantown for the photo shoot. She proved to be a total natural at working with my (often stubborn) dog. While she was at my home, we talked about the kinds of pictures I would be interested in - albums? framed photos? wall art?.... I had a few walls where I knew I wanted some pictures and she took photos of these spaces. The photos were exactly what I was looking for; it was difficult to choose! We reviewed the photos together, talked about the products I was interested in purchasing, and sifted through everything together to make the best choices. She made the experience easy when it could have been very overwhelming. What I loved the best was that she plugged the dog photos into the pictures she took of my walls so I would be able to see *exactly* what my choices would look like in each room! She was so patient when I switched things around a few times. You can tell when someone loves what they do, and in Lori's case, it clearly shines through in her work.
