When NJ-based photographer, Lauren Grabelle, pitched me the idea to feature her work of "dogs at play, " I put her email on the back burner. Her work is terrific, but I had done action shots before, and I am always looking for something new.
Later, when I had some time to visit her site, the shots I really responded to were the intimate ones of dogs and their owners. I think Lauren's ability to capture the bond dog lovers have with their pets is extraordinary. It makes perfect sense that her undergraduate work was in Anthropology, because these photos are really more about the owners than their dogs. You can sense their intoxication, that split second when oxytocin levels soar and dog love consumes them. Realy beautiful work, Lauren. Thank you for sharing.
Lauren is also a very talented wedding photographer. So if you're a lucky couple able to include your dog in your wedding, I think Lauren would be perfect for you. Visit her website and blog for more information.
