Hello PhotoDog friends! Who likes YouTube? It seems that whenever I need to figure out how to do something technical or research a subject, I go to YouTube. From camera reviews to how to navigate my Squarespace website, usually YouTube delivers the right people.

Let me get to the point…I have been a professional photographer for about 25 years years. Recently, I have found myself feeling like “giving back to the next generation of photographers”. I am still doing photography and I find a lot of inspiration in new photographers… the way they see things and enjoy just taking photos of random things - I used to be like that in photography school. So…. I started a YouTube channel last year. I figured if I could help 1-2 people on their photography journey, then that would good.

You can find my YT channel @LynnCobb and I call it The PhotoDog since my goal is to teach photography and talk about my Good Dogs of Service photo project. Have I told anyone about it yet? Well, not until now :)) I know that my first few videos won’t be stellar, but we’ve all got to start somewhere right? Please comment or subscribe so that YouTube knows that “I’m trying” (LOL - aren’t we all?) I hope to do interviews with dog handlers too which will be super fun so stay tuned.

Here’s one of my first videos: Photography for Beginners

See you soon! - Lynn

Have you ever noticed how the softness of a sunset or the brightness of a sunny day makes you feel? I think the same way about light in my photographs. I love the “feeling” of light and how it grazes across an image. If the sun is bright and overhead, you’ll see harsh shadows on the ground. If there are clouds in the sky, you’ll see soft shadows.
Here are a few of my favorite examples of light in my portraits….Typically, soft light is my preference, but I love the sunshine and that it just so uplifting and beautiful especially when used as backlight.
Keep looking for the light! - Lynn

Hello! My name is Lynn Cobb. It’s nice to meet you :))

Happy New Year! Well, ok so it’s not exactly January 1 but it’s still January :)) Since this is my first post I want to say hello and let you know that I am a portrait photographer and also a K9 photographer. (Redundant info if you already read the page introduction :)) I like things simple & short so my posts will be like “little notes” (yay! I love post it notes). I’ve been a photographer for 30 years and 3 years ago published my book “Good Dogs of Service”.

Feel free to look around my website since “photos are worth a thousand words” so I will spare you the words. You’ll see that I love photographing authentic people in their favorite environments that they choose - I think where people are comfortable just adds to their personality. I love to talk to people about photography - especially the “next generation of photographers” so send me a note through my contact page and let’s talk :))

Have a great day! - Lynn
