DC-area photographer Stephen Bobb presents his unique style of pet photography
Rugby is the sweetest black lab you’ll ever meet. And she is ALL retriever. All she wanted to do was chase squirrels, chase toys and chase tennis balls. So that’s what we did for her portrait session! Meet Rugby. She loves to look out the window, watching for something to chase. Looking very regal… If...
Great session! I love the photo of Rugby standing on the blue tennis court with the tennis ball at his feet.
Fantastic series, I love the surreal feeling your shallow DOF adds, something I’ll definitely have to try!
She does look so full of character 
That doormat is awesome too haha..
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the blue court!! Those shots scream canvas!!
These are so great Stephen! They are exactly what I wanted. I think you really captured Rugby to a tee!! Looking forward to ordering prints for my house, my office, my parents…crazy dog lady on the loose!
Great tennis court shots!
Love the blue court with tennis ball picture! Rugby really stands out in that one! Great photos
Andrea Blair - LOVE this set! fabulous
Great photos! Especially love the blue tennis court which, incidentally, made me order these tennis balls . So thanks for the inspiration and hoping to see more of your beautiful dog.
These are just gorgeous Stephen. My favorites were definitely on the tennis court (the blue background). Adorable. The doormat is hilarious!
The court images are fantastic – what a wonderful series of images!
ok first of all, that door mat is FABULOUS. do you have any idea where they got it??? i need one!
second – the tennis court shots are out of this world – i love them!
Still partial to black dogs I see! Great looking pet.
Hi there – My mom actually bought the doormat as a gift for me at a booth at a horse show, so unfortunately I can’t give the name of any major retailers that have the mat. I did a quick google search, however, and there are a few for sale on ebay and some other vending sites. Sorry that I can’t be more specific!
By the way, a quick plug: Rugby was a rescue dog that I got from Lab Rescue of L.R.C.P. Inc. — a great rescue group for labs!
I especially like the one on the tennis court; the black against blue is striking. Great shots.
i’ve got a black cat, so i know how challenging it is to shoot a black dog. i really like the details on the first three photos.
[...] few weeks ago I got a notice that they wanted to feature my Rugby session as their portrait website of the week. Of course I was thrilled. They upgraded the event to [...]
