      <image:title>Blog - MOMENTS IN FOCUS - One type of session that I do not do nearly enough is equine. Similar to all my sessions, I always look for opportunities for a variety of images with horses, typically some headshot type portraits as well as some natural light images.</image:title>
    </image:image>
    <image:image>
      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f64b3cf11e5c2751fc8f0b3/6d71f93c-36bf-410d-b5f0-4d0df323608b/DSC00561-Edit.jpg</image:loc>
      <image:title>Blog - MOMENTS IN FOCUS - The most common type of portrait requested is that black background image (i.e., low key).. It allows you to truly focus on the elegance of the animal. The dark background really highlights the details and coloring of the horse as well.</image:title>
    </image:image>
    <image:image>
      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f64b3cf11e5c2751fc8f0b3/95e3e36f-8683-444f-80d4-7319bdf9687c/DSC00980-Edit.jpg</image:loc>
      <image:title>Blog - MOMENTS IN FOCUS - One of my main focuses during an equine session is the angles created by the horse. Horses are gorgeous, but large animals. It is easy to find an unflattering perspective. Patience is key here!</image:title>
    </image:image>
    <image:image>
      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f64b3cf11e5c2751fc8f0b3/86516053-a1dd-4cd9-a5f3-ae9d549b949e/DSC00412-Edit.jpg</image:loc>
      <image:title>Blog - MOMENTS IN FOCUS - Photographing horses takes a lot of teamwork. Typically we have a few roles in the equine session. Besides me holding the camera, there obviously has to be someone holding the horse. This person has to be knowledgeable about the movement of the horse and preferably have a trusting relationship with the animal.</image:title>
    </image:image>
    <image:image>
      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f64b3cf11e5c2751fc8f0b3/903d60b1-d13f-48d5-8b04-86622d6f1a2d/DSC00678-Edit.jpg</image:loc>
      <image:title>Blog - MOMENTS IN FOCUS - This a great setup, but at least one more person is typically needed and that is the “attention-getter” (that is an industry term of course). The attention-getter has a serious but challenging role. They work hard to get the horses attention and to help find the perfect look. Especially in horses, the alert ears are vital…which is easier said than done. It is quite a scene with the noises, hat/branch waving, and jumping up and down, but it definitely could not be done without this person!</image:title>

      <image:caption>Why is dental care so important for dogs and cats?  —There’s a direct link between dental disease and heart disease, not to mention PAIN when the teeth are diseased. Plus stinky “dog breath” or “cat breath” is actually dental disease/tartar buildup!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Tooth Truth: - What else can I do at home for my pets oral health? “Dental Care powder” from Vertiscience (formerly Perio Support)…it has a probiotic that helps get rid of the “bad” tartar-causing bacteria and enzymes that can dissolve some of the tartar (aka plaque).

      <image:title>Blog - Fall for Fido: Can't-Miss Dog Events in Williamsburg - Peep Some Leaves</image:title>
      <image:caption>Free and simple…my favorite type of outing. You can catch beautiful leaves turning vibrant colors all over town. A classic spot to start is Duke of Gloucester Street. If you really want to push your walk over the edge of color, head over close to sunset. As you enjoy the leaves, you can add in beautiful colors throughout the sky. One more bonus, hang out until the lighting of the cressets.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Your Guide to a Perfect Photo Experience with Sweet Ellie Photography - 2. Make sure your dog has a suitable collar and non-retractable leash. Safety always comes first. We want a well fitting collar that keeps your pup secure. Your dog is welcome to wear a harness during the session. However, harnesses are not removed in post-processing, so a collar allows for a cleaner view of the chest.  3. What reinforces your pup? Whatever it is, you want to bring it along! It can be treats or toys…bring along whatever may help your pup to happily participate in the session.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Your Guide to a Perfect Photo Experience with Sweet Ellie Photography - 6 Spend some time thinking about how you will use your images and about any specific photos you would like to capture. This knowledge will allow us to tailor your session toward what you are envisioning. Additionally, thinking about how you would like to use your photos helps me plan the flow of our time together. You can review our session guide and artwork offerings, which will be attached to nearly all emails. It helps to know whether you are looking for one statement piece featuring a classic portrait or an album that includes a variety of images capturing your dog’s personality.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Top 4 Favorite Enrichment Toys - Busy Buddy Kibble Nibble We have used the Busy Buddy Kibble Nibble since Ellie was a tiny pup. Not only is it mentally stimulating, but it gets your dog moving around as they “hunt” for their food. There are two different sizes and each holds an entire meal. There are rubber bumpers that protect floors and furniture. Best part, it is dishwasher safe! You can find the Kibble Nibble on the PetSafe website or third party sites like Chewy.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Top 4 Favorite Enrichment Toys - Puzzles by Nina Ottoson</image:title>
      <image:caption>If you aren’t familiar with Nina Ottoson, quickly head over to the website where you will be met with a variety of toys, games, and puzzles. The toys are separated into 4 levels. Typically, the puzzle games have your dog find hidden treats. A recent favorite is the Dog Snuffle N' Treat Ball. Similar to the other games, this toy provides physical and mental stimulation.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Top 4 Favorite Enrichment Toys - Snuffle Mat</image:title>
      <image:caption>The snuffle mat is a simple item that can serve several functions. Snuffle mats provide enrichment and mental stimulation while your dog snuffles for treats. It also helps develop a dog’s sense of smell. Additionally, it can be used to slow down a fast eater. Snuffle mats come in a variety of formats, shapes, and colors. The snuffle mat has strips of fabric that can be arranged into folds, pockets, and flaps. A recent favorite of mine is the Nina Ottosson by Outward Hound Stuff N' Snuffle Interactive Plush Puzzle &amp; Snuffle Ball Dog Toy. The snuffle is formed into a ball for even more fun!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Top 4 Favorite Enrichment Toys - Project Hive Pet Company Chew Toy</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Project Hive Pet Company Chew Toy is a fetch/chew toy and treat dispenser. There are several options on how to use this interactive chew toy. It is compatible with the Hive Chew Stick Treats that easily fit inside of the toy, making it easy and quick to prep. I love when no advance prep is required! Chewing promotes healthy teeth and gums. We also sometimes just press kibble into the center. When there are just a few pieces of kibble left, it is fun to bounce the toy and watch the erratic bounce that sends kibble flying. Dogs and people alike get excited. This is another dishwasher safe toy! It can be purchased from the creators website, but is also available on sites such as Chewy or Amazon.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 5 Tips for taking cute snaps of your pet - Use treats!  No shame in a little “bribe”, although I like to just think of it as “payment”. Nobody likes working for free, including your dog. Use something that you know is motivating to your pet. Additionally, I find that a small and soft treat serves my purpose much better than a crunchy milk bone. Those smaller treats get swallowed a lot faster and allow you to get back in there and capture another photo. Otherwise I find that the pup likes crunch and focus on their treat before reengaging with you.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 5 Tips for taking cute snaps of your pet</image:title>
      <image:caption>2. Make noises!  Make all the noises to get your pet’s attention. Use toys and squeakers…whatever your pet might respond to. The louder/more exciting/high pitched noises the better. Hold any squeakers right near the camera so your pet will look in that direction. Noises are one of my secret weapons to get those cute expressions in my portraits. My “dolphin noise” is usually a clincher and often gets that head tilt!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 5 Tips for taking cute snaps of your pet</image:title>
      <image:caption>3. Give them time and space!  My first priority during our sessions is always the pet’s comfort and working with them instead of against them. Just like us, sometimes your pet might not want a photo. Give them some time and come back to it later or another day! You are definitely not going to get that laid back or comfortable look you are wanting if he/she starts in a place of annoyance lol!</image:caption>
