Why 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!
