It was an incredible experience capturing these furry friends. Each dog had a unique personality and style that needed to be highlighted in its portrait. The challenge was to capture the dog's personality without any human interaction in the portraits. It was a thrilling challenge as I had to focus solely on the dog's expressions and movements.

The portraits turned out to be amazing, thanks in no small part to Tara Hoerth's fantastic dog-wrangling ability, and each one captured the unique personality of a dog. The photos added a personal touch to the park and highlighted the beauty and uniqueness of each dog living in the apartment complex. The dogs were the focus of the portraits, and it made the space even more special for the residents who visit the park.

Photographing the dogs of Hubbard 221 Apartments for the newly renovated dog park was a great opportunity. I was able to capture the unique personalities of each dog in a beautiful and artistic way. The result is that each dog's distinctiveness and exceptional qualities are brought to life in this collection of portraits. The portraits add a personal touch to the park and provide the residents with an even more enjoyable experience.

Chauncey is a 5-year-old pit bull mix with a sweet and goofy personality. When it comes to photography, Chauncey is a natural model. He has a charming smile, expressive (and quite crossed) eyes, and loves to play and explore. Capturing his energy and spirit through our photos is always a fun and rewarding experience.

Chauncey at Home

The key to capturing great photos of Chauncey is to understand his personality and find the right environment for him to shine. When taking photos of Chauncey, we always make sure he is comfortable and relaxed. This is essential to ensure that he is having a good time and that we are capturing genuine expressions and moments.

Living in Chicago, one of our favorite environments to shoot are the many parks around the city. The open space and natural light provide the perfect backdrop for capturing Chauncey's playful and energetic personality. During our park photo shoots, we let Chauncey run around and play in between posed portrait sessions. This way, we are able to capture his natural movements and expressions, which make for energetic and sometimes funny candid photos along with portraits in our signature style.

Another tip for shooting great photos of your own dog is to have plenty of treats and toys on hand. Chauncey loves treats, and using them as a motivator during photo shoots is a great way to get his attention and capture his expressions.

Finally, when editing and processing the photos, we like to create vibrant, energetic images but take care not to over-process the images and let Chauncey's natural character come through and maintain the authenticity of the moment. We believe that this balance is key to capturing the true personality of your furry friend.

Chauncey, Bugz & Maude

Shooting photos of Chauncey is always a blast for us. Capturing the unique personalities of animals through our lens is a testament to the special bond that exists between people and their pets. If you would like us like to capture your furry friend, contact us at Double Dog Photography today. We would love to create vibrant, lasting memories of your pet.

When you mention the Turks and Caicos Islands to someone the first things that likely come to mind are the white sand beaches or the crystal clear turquoise waters or maybe the rum punch; and nobody would fault you because all three are generally good reasons to visit the TCI.

However, without a doubt, one of the best reasons of all to visit the Turks and Caicos Islands is spending a morning with one of the residents of Potcake Place. Odd name, I know. But, what is a 'Potcake'?  Potcake is the name given to the dogs of the Bahamas and the Turks & Caicos Islands. It came about because the locals fed the caked remains of the cooking pot to the dogs. As generations have passed, Potcakes have evolved into a breed which is extremely smart, loyal and loving. 

Potcake Place is a 100% no-kill dog rescue shelter located in Salt Mills Plaza on Providenciales just across the street from one the most beautiful beaches in the Turks and Caicos Islands and likely one of the most beautiful on the planet; Grace Bay Beach. Founded by British expat Jane Parker-Rauw and run by her and her team of all volunteer workers, Potcake Place is one of the most dedicated rescues I have encountered.  I personally don't know of any other Caribbean islands where you can show up on vacation, visit the town center shopping plaza and take a puppy out to the beach with you for the day.  Then again, I haven't visited every island in the Caribbean...yet. 

Between new litters of puppies being perpetually dropped off at the shelter on what seems like a near-daily basis and the dogs in foster care around the Island, Potcake Place has anywhere between 100-200 dogs in their care at any given time. And they all need to find their forever home.  

We had the privilege of working with Jane and her team to shoot photos of some of the adoptable pups on our last trip to TCI and plan to make it a regular part of our future visits to the islands.  All the pups are so happy to be out on the beach and so friendly that it was difficult for us not to smuggle them all home in our luggage. 

Pups at the Potcake Place are adopted out to visitors of the TCI from all over the world and the shelter helps you through the entire adoption and transport process.  For more information, to adopt a Potcake of your own, or to make a donation have a look at www.potcakeplace.com and when you're planning your trip to Turks and Caicos, which after reading this I expect will be sooner than later, make it a point to stop by the Potcake Place and, at the very least, take one of the pups out to the beach for the morning, or for the next 12-15 years or so.  Just remember; show up early! ;-)
