We’ve discovered that a lot of the Veterinary Medicine students enjoy being photographed with their pets, which is a lot of fun. This is Tess, who will be receiving her Doctor of Medicine in Veterinary Medicine in June of 2010, with her whippets Kimber and Laney.

Check out the OSU gallery on our website to see more fun Oregon State portraits!

We’ve partnered with local veterinary clinics to help them thank their loyal clients.

From left to right: Rocky, Chilko, Heart, and Rogue. These Belgian Sheep dogs belong to Dave Vesely and Joan Hagar. Last summer, Rogue and Chilko worked with a professor at OSU, detecting the habitats of several rare species, including the Orange Crowned Warbler, Swainson’s Thrush, the Western Pond Turtle, and Kincaid’s Lupin (a flower that attracts a rare blue butterfly). Rocky is a champion in Agility – he ranks 4th in the country! Heart is quickly catching up to Rocky’s success in agility.

Above, Debbie and her pit bull, Dakota. Dakota is 10 years old, but still has the energy of a puppy. She was so friendly!

Meet Pam, and her dogs Mully and Duke! These dogs have had some struggles in life and Pam’s commitment to their happiness shows through in their close bond.

We wanted to capture the beauty of Pony and Mary, adopted greyhounds owned by Keith and Vickie Taylor, with the simplicity of a similar-toned setting. Pony is a retired racedog. They were both very gentle, and a pleasure to photograph.

We’ll keep you updated with more of our pet portraits! Visit us again soon to see how our shoot with two very cool lizards went!
