Abbey Road




Sunday afternoon proved to be a huge success! Dana Kaplan and Jonathan Tardo, who are getting married on May 15 of this year, came to the studio to have their pre-wedding shoot and brought along their wonderful little dog, Abbey Road. Dana's mom, Cheryl, came to baby-sit, but truthfully, was not needed to do that. I have photographed many dogs in my day, and I have to say this was the best behaved, most enchanting canine that has ever sat in front of my camera.
Abbey Road was curled up at Dana and Jon's feet properly smiling and being most attentive for every shot. She reveled in the strobes, never blinking, enjoying her moment in the sun.
I really thought I heard her say, "I'm ready for my closeup, Mr. DeMille" and one point. Her paws were delicately placed to reveal the perfect combination of black and white, her eyes were alert and her mouth was smiling. Towards the end of our session, I said to Dana, why don't you look up at Jon, and there was Abbey turning her head to look at Jon, in time with Dana. Dog portraits: they are the best!
