If there’s anything people love looking at photos of, it’s dogs and little kids. Los Angeles-based commercial and editorial animal photographer Grace Chon combines the two in her recent series “Zoey and Jasper,” for a brilliantly adorable photo set of her son Jasper and their pup Zoey.
Grace filled me in on her inspiration for the series:
I’ve been dressing my dogs up in ridiculous clothing for photos for years now, and once I had Jasper I couldn’t resist buying adorable hats for photos. One day I realized baby hats look amazing and ridiculous on dogs! I took a photo of Zoey wearing Jasper’s hat, and my sister had the brilliant idea of sitting them side by side in a single shot. Zoey is an extremely shy rescue dog and hates new things – they make her shake in fear. But for some odd reason she loves clothes and absolutely loves posing for the camera. Jasper, being a photographer’s kid, loves the camera too. I hope to keep this series going as long as I can to document them both growing older together.
I, for one am excited to see where Grace takes this already captivating series. Enjoy!
