I sent this out to my mailing list, but thought I'd put it here too... (You're not on my list but you want to be? Head to gingerwickphoto.com and scroll to the bottom to Join the Pack. πΎ)
I have a fun photo idea brewing, and I need just the right dog to make it happen!
Picture this: a distinguished pup, umbrella handle in mouth, looking completely unbothered by the rain. Very "I've got this handled" energy. Very chic. Very iconic.
Here's what I'm looking for:
A dog who genuinely loves to hold things, or at the very least, can do so without giving me the side-eye π The prop is a classic J-shaped umbrella handle. Your dog would grip it near the base of the J, holding it upright so the straight part rests lightly against one cheek, and the curved tip tucks underneath, potentially touching the other side of the mouth or cheek. It's a bit of an embrace. π Some dogs won't bat an eye; others might find it a little claustrophobic. Only you know your pup! No heavy lifting required though, literally. The owner will hold the actual umbrella canopy above the dog while I work my compositing magic in post. Your pup just needs to nail the handle.
We might get a little fancy with a spritz bottle for some atmospheric drips, and I may wet the ground around your dog to really sell the rainy-day story. Don't worry, it'll be more "glamorous puddle" than "soggy mess." β¨
My preference is a solid-colored dog, but honestly? This is a specific skill I'm casting for, so if your dog is a champion holder of things, I want to hear from you regardless of coat pattern or breed.
β° Time is of the essence! This session must take place on or before Saturday, April 11 in Parker, CO, so please let me know if you're available.
What's in it for you? This is a Limited Edition Session that includes the session fee + one stunning high-resolution digital image, a $494 value. And honestly? Beyond the gorgeous image, you get a genuinely fun experience doing something a little silly and special with your dog. Those moments are pretty priceless. πΆπ
Think your pup is the one? Hit reply and tell me a little about your dog and their holding prowess. Bonus points for a video or photo of them showing off their skills!
Can't wait to hear from you! πΈ
P.S. Even if this week doesn't work for your schedule, I'd still love to hear from you! Reply and introduce me to your pup, I'm keeping a list of talented holders for when the timing is right. πΎ
