From the Racetrack to the Portrait Studio: Lincoln and Sally's Signature Session
When return client Chris introduced me to his current retired racing greyhounds, Lincoln and Sally, for their portrait session, the goal was to create a companion piece to the multi-photo wall display I had photographed of his previous adopted greyhounds in 2015. This Signature Pet Portrait Experience showcased the elegant, sculptural qualities that make greyhounds such compelling fine art subjects. From Lincoln's initial reserve to Sally's growing comfort with the mobile studio setup, each image captured their unique personalities and the joy of their retirement lifestyle. Chris's enthusiastic reaction during our review session—"Michael, all of them are fantastic" and "If you see me stopping for a few seconds, it's just that I'm enjoying the picture"—perfectly exemplified the emotional impact that fine art pet portraiture can have on families celebrating their beloved companions.
