Kara Purtell Photography

I got a lot of comments from people about the winter shoot I did with my dogs, so I thought I would update you all this summer.  It was almost 90 degrees here on Memorial day and I was a little concerned that my pups would die of heat exhaustion so I made them a hair appointment to get their summer cuts.  We always joke that they look like little greyhounds, so I did a little before and after shoot.  People always think they are labradoodles when their hair is long, but just because we don’t cut their hair like it, they are standard poodles.  They don’t shed!  So here are a few portraits of them and some fun playing pics.   I put up a new portrait gallery on my website, so go check that out!  If anyone just wants some pics of their pet, or a family and the pet I obviously love shooting animals

I don’t very often post personal pics, only for  the fact that I like to take snapshots, but don’t like to worry much about making them look professional.  But today I woke up motivated to get some update pics of the pups.  It was the first big snow of the year, and it has been coming down all day.  Rusty & Kota LOVE the snow and were ready to play as soon as we got outside.  I had a hard time narrowing these down, so there’s a lot!  My babies are so cute!  In case some of you want to look back at them when they were small and cuddly you can see some old pics of them here & here.
