Emilee Fuss Photography – the blog

Four years ago today, Buddy wandered into my backyard, my life, and my heart.

I cannot imagine life without him. He is my heart dog, my friend. He found me. I will be forever thankful to the Lord for giving me this amazing dog. He does no incredible tricks, and doesn’t even like everyone, but he is still unlike any dog I have ever met, or will ever meet.

He is simply wonderful. Simply mine. And I am simply his.

I pity the person who has never known the love of a dog.

So kissable.

Last night during my birthday party I got a call from my mom announcing that Layla Grace had arrived. After over 12 hours of hard labor, my sister gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Since I was busy hosting a party, I didn’t get to go with the rest of my family to see the baby, but instead went today, on my birthday. Eighteen years old and a new aunt.

It’s been such a crazy, incredible week. I feel so blessed to be surrounded by a loving family, great friends, and a community of wonderful, encouraging photographers. I am so thankful for all of you! God bless!

Here she is world, Miss Layla Grace. Expect to see lots of baby photos on the blog from this proud aunt. Isn’t she precious? :)

I’m so excited to be offering these fantastic accordion-style brag books to clients. These little square books open and close like an accordion, and stay shut via an invisible magnetic closure. You can choose up to ten images for the books. There are two cover options – a custom photo cover or a leather cover (in black, dark brown, or red). Books come in sets of three (of the same design). This is a great item to keep in your purse so you can show of your pet or senior portraits any time!

Past, current, and future clients, please contact us for prices. These books are included in all of our new collections, too!

For years I’ve admired William Wegman’s gorgeous photographs of Weimaraners, and Monday morning I was able to create my own. It was the perfect way to start the week. Jack is not only the first Weimaraner I’ve ever photographed, he is the first one I’ve ever had the privilege of meeting. He was so wonderful. Jack is four years old, but still hasn’t gotten out of the crazy puppy stage. He’s super handsome, athletic, and a total mama’s boy. He never wanders far from his mom, always keeping his eyes on her. You can tell she is the center of his universe. It’s so sweet to watch. I had a wonderful time wandering around beautiful Boca Grande with the two of them, watching them interact and photographing Jack. Thank you, Jamie, for allowing me to photograph your handsome boy. Hope you love the photos!

After photographing Jack, I can tell why William Wegman loved photographing Weims. They are so photogenic! See for yourself.

I love head wrinkles. And Coach.

Love the lip!

What dog doesn’t love a good stick?

Hey everyone! We’ve shared the exciting news on Facebook and Twitter, so it’s time to post it on the blog as well.

Emilee Fuss Photography won first place in Sarasota’s Pets Choice Awards as Best Pet Photographer!

I want to send HUGE thank you’s to everyone who took the time to vote for us. You don’t know how much I appreciate this. I am so honored. I honestly did not expect to win. I have not been doing photography for a long time at all, about two years now. This is our first award! I wish I could’ve been at the ceremony to accept the trophy and meet with all of the other winners. Congratulations to Marilyn Warner, the first runner up, and Betty Luppachino, the second runner up for Best Pet Photographer!

Thanks again, everyone! I am so appreciative. I am thankful for all of my wonderful fans and blog readers. You guys rock!

I cannot post without a picture! Noticed this lovely little mark on the road while walking Buddy the other day. There is beauty in the most unexpected places. :)
