Photographing Stella

It has been to long since I have photographed a dog. With Paws Atlanta not allowing volunteers since March, it has been three months. I got a chance to photograph some cats at Javacats Cafe, but dogs are a different animals. So it felt great to get an email asking me to photograph a foster border collie for Phoenix Rising Border Collie Rescue, name Stella. I met her at Skyland Park were she goes several times a day. I like to photograph dogs in places they are comfortable and her foster mom says she brings her there 3 times a day so it seem like a good place. We meet at 7 and started by throwing a ball around. She really loves to play fetch and probably could of played all day. This allow me to get some action shots along with some nice full body shots. She would bring the ball back, and lay down until you threw the ball. Below are some of the better shots.
