Nuance Pet Photos Blog | Charleston SC Pet Photography bio picture

Hi, and welcome to my blog!

That's me (Els) on the right there. Granted, it's an image I took of my reflection in a window when I was 18. Let's just say that was quite some time ago, without getting into specifics ;)

I've been in love with photography over 25 years, but my day job has been as a freelance graphic designer, with my main focus being catalog, magazine, and book design and layout. I started Nuance Pet Photos as an endeavor to combine my background in graphic design with my love of animals and my passion for photography. So, here we are!

Oh, and the yellow lab you see everywhere on this blog? That's Cooper, my yellow lab, who was born in Southern California in October 2004. He's a true beach boy, who loves to play in the ocean, catch frisbees on the run, and chase squirrels out of his backyard. We moved from San Diego, CA, to Charleston, SC, in June of 2007, and despite the humidity and mosquitos, we love it here!

Thanks for visiting the blog. Cheers!

Who, me?

Cooper has a somewhat crazy obsession with the little purple half-round located in the right compartment of the pen organizer.
It’s this little “toy” i got as a prize for playing some arcade games with my nieces years ago. This “toy” is actually just a half-round piece of rubber that is hollow on the concave side....

Wanna play?

Several times a day, while i am working at the computer, Cooper will come into the office and try to convince me to play “soccer” with him in the hallway. Which just now reminds me, i used to do the same thing to my dad when i was young—we also played soccer in our small...

Nine days, 14 hours, and 3 minutes to go . . .

This weekend i was all set to mow the grass weeds, but the yard was still so soggy from last week’s rains that i had to leave it for another day (which won’t be soon, i am guessing, since it is raining again right now.)
Instead, i moved the (to be reinstalled after the house-painting the...
