Did you know that Charlotte has an Umbrella Alley? It’s at Metropolitan on Kings Drive near Dressler’s.

Any time I have my camera in my hand, I am happy. Put me in a field of tulips with a dog and my camera and I am totally in my happy place.

If you want to see photos of dogs in rows and rows of beautiful, colorful tulip fields, I just spent 4 days at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival and it was amazing! Follow @barkography on Instagram to see more of the cute doggos I photographed there including an Irish Wolfhound!

This is my dog Moose and his adoption story.

He joined our family in October of 2014. I had purchased my first Nikon two months before he came to live with us. He’s been my go to model on this entire photography journey.

Moose is now retired from professional dog modeling because of his age and health issues.

Her name is Babette and she was 14 years old. She’d had some health issues but was doing okay until she fell and badly injured her back leg. Her mom Patty made the gut wrenching decision to say goodbye to her.

Where are the best places to hang out in Charlotte on St Patrick’s Day if you want to bring your dog?

Charlotte has a ton of dog friendly bars that are great options. Many of the bars and breweries in town have dog friendly outdoor patio spaces that allow dogs.
