I love using my camera to take photos of animals, especially people's pets. I enjoy using a large aperture, to mute out the background. A fun, easy way to make a picture special!
All photos taken with Nikon D5100 with a 35mm prime lens. F1.8, Aperture setting.

When photographing animals, patience is key. Hundreds of photos led to the 6 above pictures. Animals love to move at the worst moment (or all moments). Naptime is a great time to capture shots, as with the puppy above. She does not stop moving normally, so we caught her at a moment after getting some good exercise.
For most people, their pets are a part of their family. Photos help catch their personality, for all time. And pets make a great subject for amateur photographers!
