I had the pleasure of meeting Cindy during a canine photography workshop we both attended in Maine! She resides in Pennsylvania, and inquired about me traveling to Hartwood Acres Mansion, just outside of Pittsburgh, to photograph her family, two dogs, and portraits she could use in marketing for her own photography business, Cindy West Photography. So I packed up my bags and started driving!

The location she chose was a photographers dream! The property included manicured lawns, ample gardens, and a variety architectural backgrounds. We did have to work around other photographers, but Cindy and her husband followed directions easily, and their dogs were very sound and sight motivated, making my job super easy!

Cindy also came prepared with a printed checklist of photos she wanted captured! It helped shape the session, and her requests were easy enough to slide into the workflow I normally do with dog photoshoots. Having her requests written down, ensured I was able to meet all of her photography needs, something I strive to do in every session.

These were a few of my favorite photographs from her 1.5 hour long session!
