Stan Oakes has been a photographer
for over 45 years. It started one morning when as a young boy, he went outside after a rain storm with his Kodak Instamatic camera to photograph the forest trail. His passion has always been to capture the beauty of nature, people and pets. Stan shares his home with his wife Gerri and their Border Collie Lexington and Aussie, Levi.
After years of working with dogs and competing in vario
us dog sports, Michelle Ostrander, a certified professional dog trainer (CPDT-KA), applied her love of dogs to capturing those special moments depicting the human/canine bond. Michelle and her husband Scott share their home with four Weimaraners: Brooke, Sharon, Sawyer and Daisy.
Now these two great photographers and pet lovers have teamed up to create the Whole Family Photography. Either through action photos portraying dogs doing what they love, or portraits of our favorite pets, we are able to capture those moments to last a lifetime.
