I recently participated in a wonderful photography workshop and met a great pet photographer based in Las Vegas.  Check out her site and all the rescue work Claudine does in the Vegas area.
Unleashed Pet Photography

Monday, April 26, 2010


Hello! Welcome to my photography blog space! My name is Amy Gayle and I am a photographer in the Phoenix, Arizona area. But not just any photographer, I am a pet photographer! I can't remember a time when I didn't have a pet in my life and today I have three dogs, two cats, and three horses! They sure keep me busy. Several years ago I had a beautiful Siberian Husky that was thirteen years old...talk about a handful! Her name was Kiwi and I knew at 13 she wasn't going to be around forever so I hired a photographer to do some "family" photos of me, my husband, and our three dogs on the beach in Florida. All I can say is I was not impressed and the photographer just said "sorry." By this time Kiwi was really slowing down, I could see daily changes to her and I knew time was running out. So I contacted another photographer, Addison Fitzgerald in Saint Augustine Florida (http://www.addfitz.com/) for another shoot. Luckily for me these were fantastic! But sadly Kiwi passed away about six weeks after the wonderful photo session on the beach.

I had always had an "eye" for photography and this experience has eventually led me to develop a passion for photography, especially pet photography. I hope you will follow my blog and enjoy the images I place here and if you do, feel free to contact me for a photo session with your beloved pet! I promise to take the time to work with you and your pet so one day you tell somebody about the fantastic prints you have of your best friend!
