No, no not what you are thinking. The dogs and I love our Nantucket and will be staying right here but our blog is moving. Long overdue. Blogger has been good to us, but not as good to you, our wonderful clients and readers, who are having a hard time posting and following.New logo is in the works as well as some spiffy new branding materials for Charlotte Carey Photography and I figured this is

Can't stand it...she is just so cute.I hear she is settling into her new home beautifully and her Mom falls more in love with her each day.Here is a bit more from our beautiful Sunday evening shoot in downtown Nantucket.

I  must admit I am a big dog girl. Labs, goldens, danes, you get the picture. All dogs are fabulous, but the larger breeds make me swoon.However this little one has melted my heart. Her name is Hazel and she is a cavapoo (cavalier and poodle).  What a personality and what an incredible desire for all sorts of play. I expected her to be somewhat shy, somewhat reserved. Hah! She had me chasing

Spring is just taking its own sweet time for us up here in New England, however, the tulip bulbs I planted in November are starting to poke their way out of the cold ground.I am crazy excited about these since I planted them all over the yard in memory of my girl, Charlotte.I am expecting them to be pretty mature by the time I arrive back from Atlanta.Let's hope the deer don't get to them first

Rainy Sundays are such a great excuse...to be lazy.Not today  though for us, lots to do. New changes for us around here including some subtle changes to the blog and the website.  The dogs wanted a more active part in the blog, so I have arranged for them to pop on here and there. They will share their thoughts on the best new products in petland that make their life so happy.  I am happy to

Crocuses (croci?) are blooming, birdies are singing, and days are longer and just a tad warmer. It looks like we may have a nice Spring this year if today was an example of what is to come.We celebrated Zach's second birthday today at Tupancy Links here on Nantucket.Tupancy (for short) is essentially Nantucket's version of dog heaven. Wide open field with a long walking trail, views of the

Love this name. Eloise is sweet, petite and wears her name well.What a little beauty.I have heard her Mom on many occasions raving about her, now I understand why.She is just a little beauty and has only pushed me deeper into pug heaven.

I have been a terrible blogger. So behind in posting but trust me, still having fun with the kids and acquiring many new photos to share.In the upcoming days, the promised photos of Henry and our trip to the outer Cape will be posted and  I also will be sharing from a session this past Monday. Otis the Cairn Terrier and Eloise the Pug will be making their first appearrances on the blog, but

The weather bordered on Spring like yesterday...such a treat before heading back to the reality of today which is snow, sleet, ice, wind gusting to 45mph and bitter cold.Here is a small morsel of the gorgeous light that exists even in the dead of winter at the end of Cape Cod.More to follow....

Sophie and Zach have been begging me to go on an adventure; they are a bit tired with this winter already.So we packed up the car, travelled across the ocean on the ferry (2 1/4 hours long...ughh, my least favorite part of the trip) and went across the outer Cape to see what was going on.We visited this place where we met Henry and his Mom and then visited an incredible beach in Osterville. There

My 40D is staying in....it is too cold. It is way too slippery and snowy and  I am too clumsy. Besides, I have neglected my little Canon point and shoot far too long. Charged up her little battery, put in a new little teeny memory card (only 256MB!!!! as compared to my big girl CF cards) and shoved her in my pocket.But not before setting her up with manual settings...c'mon you gotta do this

He is adorable....mix of black lab and shepherd. J and B brought him home from Rhode Island just a few weeks ago and are madly in love with him. His name is Bruin.Took him out to meet his friends, Zach and Sophie yesterday. Not the greatest of weather days here on the sandbar but we still had a great time.He is very intelligent, very attentive and a lovebug.Can't wait to watch this little

Happy 40th to my brother, John....architect extraordinaire, living it up this weekend in Dublin.Have a great time!This week my Charlotte would have turned 14.Many feelings have surfaced, resurfaced, you name it.I fought against posting about her and posting some photos I found, but knew that it would be helpful for me to do so. Not to mention, I think these photos are adorable.In the top photo

I have grown to love the early morning.Although I believe the light to be even more gorgeous in the late afternoon and early evening, sunrise is just so beautiful.Focusing on many new things for Charlotte Carey Photography, including a new blog home, a new logo (yeah!!!!) and some upcoming shoots of children with two legs, not four.Some of my most awesome fellow pet photographers and I have

Part of the reason I will change to a different blog soon is so that I may post different templates, sort of a cyberspace storyboard if you will.....Here is a little sequence from New Year's Day in the snow.For those of you who were interested in knowing if he loves snow like his sister, I would have to say "proof is in the pudding". Check out that little grin on his face in the first photo.

We had so much fun that afternoon. Four dogs, one auntie of said dogs, one  fabulous 18 year old photo assistant who was amazed by all the puppy madness, and quite the wind chill. Yup, great beach day as far as I and THEY were concerned. Millie was the leader of the pack that day as you will see in the top photo running with the only ball I brought that day (silly girl....4 dogs, one

We ventured out for some quick play (and very quick photos taken very clumsily in many layers of clothing). The pups loved the first day of 2009...snow, brisk air (!!!!!) and Mommy falling down, all makes for a great day for them.....Hope you all stay warm. I am glad I received cashmere and Smartwool for Christmas.

 I am so sad....I am devastated to report that on Christmas Eve, sweet Emma,AM/CAN CH Deblin's Call Waiting, STCA HOF,lost her battle with cancer.My heart goes to Deb and Charlie as I know how devastated they are.She was so full of life, so strong, such a proud Scottie. She will be terribly missed.

Me, I am excited to be off duty from "my real job" for three days, for the ability to go to Borders and to be able to purchase gas for under 2 dollars/gallon.

What a beautiful Christmas. Hope everyone had a wonderful day filled with family, friends, love and yummy treats. As you can see, we had a gorgeous brilliant day here in the middle of the Atlantic. I think the dogs would have preferred snow but they managed to still enjoy themselves.I so missed the mark with focus on one of these but I had to show you all 'cause it is one of the best

Christmas cheer has been slow in its approach to the Carey household this year.  However, a certain 21 month old golden and his 5 year old sister have decided it is time.No more futzing about;  there is a tree to decorate, there are cookies to be made and there will be much jingling of bells. It is amazing how that sound coupled with smells of cinnamon, chocolate and cloves will put you in the

"I love you Momma.""I love you too, Zachy."When I first brought home my little boy, he would not look me in the eye. I was sad the first time I saw him; kept his head down, seemed unsure.Took a bit of time, a lot of love, a lot of play and look where we are. I love that he looks at me with those sweet brown eyes. I could photograph him all day every day. Maybe I will....

I feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to meet Miss Emma, a champion Scottie who is sadly battling cancer.Her parents asked me to photograph her on a beautiful Cape Cod Saturday afternoon.She played with us at the beach, chased seagulls, alerted a kayaker that the beach was hers, and then she introduced me to her three Scottie siblings. She never let on that she wasn't feeling

Holiday cards are very important in my house. (Not those big huge gold emblazoned ones you get from your corporation, etc.) I am talking about the ones that you put your heart into. I love receiving a great one;  one that catches your attention and makes you say "awwww". My cousins Joe and Ciarla (and their two gorgeous boys) always send me the most exceptional Christmas cards.  Usually it is

How many goldens are in this picture? I have to admit when I took it, I did not realize that little rascal was trying to get some fame also. Sophie felt like some photos today, she doesn't usually like the camera. Beautiful day here on the rock, high 50's. (Hey to us New Englanders, that is wonderful on the first day of December).

I will be posting later in the week about this sweet girl, a Scottie named Emma.Sweet dreams....

I am a dog girl. Probably not the most politically correct or business-wise statement to make as a pet photographer, but I am all about being honest. LOVE dogs. However, these kids, Sammy and Sunshine, have changed me. I am a new girl. Cats are pretty darn cool after all.  After I figured out that whistling wasn't going to get much attention, we settled into a groove.These cats are funny,

Three shoots over three days. Love it. Love my clients. Love their families. Love their pets.I tried to give the family I photographed on Thursday some dog treats, but they weren't interested. I had to rework my approach and after engaging in some regular pitched conversation, we had a blast.Stay tuned for a peek at this gorgeous family, including three generations of strong, beautiful Nantucket

I will make this list as short as possible.The long version of what I am thankful for would be extraordinary.I will narrow it down to 10 as most of you who are reading my blog don't have that much time...no particular order (except for the first three)1. My incredibly beautiful, supportive and sassy mother 2. that she has been healing so beautifully from two surgeries back to back in the last 2

So as I am continuing my quest to find the perfect lens set up, I decided to try out this little baby.Great lens. My gal Jamie just got herself this little number as well.Got some great shots 2 days ago with the 4 pups I was photographing.  (Shhhhh....can't show you yet.....but check out those really cute paws.)  Like it...it is light and has IS. I find that I really appreciate the lenses with

The early morning snow had melted, the sun was shining brilliantly, but the windchill was still below 20 degrees. We still had fun.This was surprise #2 for the week....I will give you a tiny sneak peek since I love this photo and quite simply, couldn't resist.

I was thinking that I live and work in one of the smallest places on the planet. Sometimes it is wonderful, other times (like this) it is a potential disaster, especially when it comes to those awesome surprises. My last photoshoot is a big surprise for a wonderful woman that I know and admire. In the interest of that I have decided to only provide you (for now at least) a little peak at one of

This little guy, George, was very interested in me during my visit to Tuppancy yesterday. He was not at all scared by the camera, and as you can see, readily posed for me. I am very excited to show you all photos from yesterday's shoot, but since I took so many, it will take me just a bit longer to get them all ready for your viewing pleasure. Suffice to say, I am in love with a beautiful

Surprises are everywhere, aren't they?I have to admit that I adore surprises (as long as they are the good kind, like wrapped up in B&H or Nordstrom gift wrap LOL)! This little boy has been one of my biggest surprises this past year. How lucky I am to have been given the gift of his adoption. I love you, loverboy. I have two clients this week who are having photoshoots of their dogs for

Bruiser and Lulu are both seven years young beautiful pugs. I had such a great time with them and their Mom on Halloween at Jetties Beach. They have visited more countries in Europe than I could ever hope to. Bruiser was hit by a car while living in Dublin, and has a cranial nerve injury that makes it difficult to mobilize his tongue. In true dog fashion, he plays and grabs balls as if

Well my very much awaited photoshoot with pugs extraordinaire Bruiser and Lulu took place on beautiful Halloween afternoon. Here is a sneak peek of Bruiser; such a handsome boy.They have a wonderful life story and I will be sure to fill you all in later.

Unfortunately, Mother Nature has forced me to reschedule a client today that I had been very much looking forward to. We have plans to meet on Friday instead, so stay tuned. I thought that since I could not share fabulous pug photos today, I would instead share a sweet photo of my princess Charlotte. I really miss her today. She was incredible. I am forever grateful for our beautiful life

I love you Glen. You protect my best friend, Duncan (your wonderful Daddy). You guard Auntie Anne and I and ensure that we are always safe and happy. You now protect and even play with (I caught you) Zach and Sophie. Glen is a border collie and our #1 dog friend and playmate. The light yesterday afternoon brought out his gorgeous eyes, the eyes that watch everyone 24/7. It is a wonder he

Some folks have asked recently about my camera gear. Truth be told, I considered switching to Nikon recently after meeting two fabulous gals Bev and Stephanie , but I had to stick with Canon. It just felt right to me. I just upgraded to a 40D and could not be happier. Dan, you were right again, my friend.It is funny how my fellow photographer friends love one or the other. I know of some who

In my years as a dog parent, there are some old standby toys that seem to save me everytime. The infamous Chuckit! is no exception. On days like today when the dogs have much more energy than I, the ability to throw a tennis ball many many feet has fabulous advantages. My sweet boy loves the Chuckit!. Usually this is his stance as I ready the orange and blue tennis ball. Apparrently, these

I have grown to love the windiest of days. I love the different sounds. I love the way it picks up my dogs' ears. I love how they then sniff into the wind with half closed eyes. I love the way it makes for a great excuse to stay indoors and make soup. We get lots of windy days, today is no exception. Nevertheless, we managed to get a long walk in this morning and shoot a couple of keepers. Did

Apparrently I am just a big liar. After my wondrous rambling about my sweet girl Sophie this morning, I went out and shot (caught) her in action. It would appear that she lets her brother know who is boss, no matter how sweet and loving she is at other times. I had to post this....how typical of her to make me laugh in surprise.!

As a pet photographer, I see many animals, particularly dogs. I adore them all, sometimes a little too much. Having two dogs is just the perfect scenario for me. Ok, ok, I would love to have 4 or 5 to be really honest; however, 2 is a good number for me at this point. I thought I would blog today about my little girl, the oldest of my two beauties, Sophie. Sophie came home to

Oh how I love a beautiful Sunday afternoon in the autumn season, especially when it is 70 degrees at 5:30PM. See for yourself how island dogs spend a day off in October.

She is so in love with him... It is quite easy to see why. Eukilis is quite the handsome boy. 10 months old and full of that love of life that we all should experience. I am not sure who is luckier, Yuki or Mom. I would say it is one of those special relationships that will continue to grow in leaps and bounds ... Thanks for the opportunity to share in the fun! You guys made my day.

I don't consider the dog lovers I know to be envious sort of people. However the word on the street is that my Zach is the target of "black nose envy". Apparrently, this emotion does exist amongst some dog parents; particularly those of yellow labs and goldens. For those of you out there experiencing this particular type of envy, here is the object of affection...

It is no secret that I love the autumn season. Quite clearly, this affection I have for the cool air, gorgeous light and crisp leaves has rubbed off on Sophie and Zach. The afternoon at Sanford was glorious with our wonderful friends Duncan and Glen. Glen is a border collie and trust me, acts at all times like the vigilent dog he thinks he ought to be. Zach is bringing out a more playful

Thank you, Michelle Nee of Perfect K-9 Training here on Nantucket. Michelle is the rock star of canine training. My kids have been in class with her and her sweet assistant Tiffy (all 8 pounds of her) for the past six weeks. Ah, graduation tonight.

Oh my goodness... My mother will be horrified. I have to admit I am a bit embarrassed that I have forgotten my manners. Yes, yes I know. I forgot to introduce myself and my most wonderful dogs.

The Interfaith Council here on Nantucket sponsored an event yesterday at Children's Beach for our pets. Thank you to the wonderful people who made the Blessing of the Animals event so special. All animals were on their best behavior; I am quite certain the gorgeous weather was the reason. Although I was busy holding two leashes for my two very excited kids, I managed to snap a few
