This past year, taking a few dog portraits turned into a long-term passion project for me - The All Breeds Project.

This project is about documenting and celebrating the incredible diversity of dog breeds, with the goal of bringing greater awareness to each one. What started as a simple desire to photograph more solo pets quickly grew into a deep appreciation for their unique personalities, coat types, colors, and breed traits - and a drive to capture as many as possible. While I know photographing every breed may be a bit of a pipe dream, that won’t stop me from trying. I feel like this is my photography life-goal now!

I am including a list of recognized AKC breeds and checking them off as I go. If you have one of the breeds listed as unphotographed below, please reach out to me! If you don’t see your breed listed, feel free to reach out to me as well - any will be considered and it’s possible I missed a few (the list is pretty long!)

Does your dog qualify for the project?

In order to be a part of this project, your dog does need to be purebred and exhibit good breed characteristics. They should have correct groom for their breed standard. All sessions are shot at my studio in Smithville, Ohio (approx. 30 minutes from Akron/Canton/Mansfield, 60 minutes from Cleveland, and 2+ hours from Columbus).

Participation is completely free of charge. There is no obligation to purchase anything (although you do get a discount on prints!). My goal is to eventually produce a book from the images.

You can contact me through the website or be emailing perceptionstudio1@yahoo.com

Help me reach more dog owners…..

I would greatly appreciate if you share this post with your dog friends, clubs, associations!
