Pet Photography by Serena Hodson

Pet Photography by Serena Hodson

Who doesn’t love dogs?

Well… some. But most people could not help but fall for these cutie canines, especially when photographed creatively. The internet certainly allowed the pet lovers in all of us to have another – and wider – venue to share our love for our dogs. It is no longer an uncommon sight to see dog owners post photos of their “best friends” in various sites online. There are some, however, who take this a step further. Take Serena Hodson, for example. 

This New Zealand native is an award-winning photographer in her own right. However, she has derived more fulfillment from allowing her love for her darling dogs to show through the pictures she takes. The results are whimsical and quirky pet photographs that subtly (and sometimes not so subtly) convey hints of hilarity, wistfulness, and humor, all combined to make you feel all fuzzy and all the more in love with dogs. Starring her three dogs, Rocco, Ralph and Simon, her works are sure to bring a smile on everyone’s face. Visit her website, Serenah, for more of her works!

Let’s write a bit of a story, and it’s entitled, “A Day In The Life Of Rocco, Ralph, and Simon”.

Good morning, Sunshine! Don't feel like waking up yet?

If you thought it's already full, sit on it. Nice one, Simon!
