Pet Portraiture

The other photojournalist in the JPG Photography household felt inspired today to take pet portraits of our growing boy, Gus. Many of you remember our favorite dog/son/boy when we adopted him last November. Well, he's healthy and growing and oh so cute! I'm quite certain these are some of the best pictures Bec has ever taken of him, but then again, I'm a proud dad who's full of bias!

We love the yawn and stretch!

We think he looks scholarly in this one...

Photojournalistic family portraits outside Philadelphia

What a perfect portrait photography weekend! (Couldn't ignore the alliteration.) So much going on. October is certainly the month everyone wants pictures, but that's good for me. I'm a fall guy. I love mid 60s weather. It just so happened that Sunday, it stayed in the 70s...it was like May or June. No matter, it was a great day for pictures and having a blast. Just so nice to be out of the office, right!

I've been blessed with some great families this weekend. One was the Ginter's (see post coming Tuesday) and the other are the Shaffer's. Lori, Mike and their adorable son Drew. This 3-year-old loved the camera, but not in a hamm or obnoxious way. He's just so darn cute! Come on, look at these pictures. Don't you just want to take him home, too!

We had a brilliant pumpkin picking at Johnson's Corner Farm in Medford, New Jersey just outside Philadelphia, PA, and not far from where I work in Cherry Hill at the Courier Post. (Also had the lead art and a lead story Sunday.)

Lori and Mike were perfect. They had fun. They laughed. They were patient, too...(Drew only liked the dirty pumpkins...lol)

This is just a sample of the great moments I'm proud to share with the Shaffer's. I hope to be around more to watch Drew grow up! Thanks again! Such a pleasure.


Come on...look at this face. Pretty darn cute!
