I recently photographed a wonderfully relaxed session, with two handsome dogs that have the most adorable names! Goober is a senior golden retriever, and Fozzy (yes, he’s named after Fozzy Bear) is a 1-year-old labradoodle! We played fetch and rolled around in the grass in their backyard for their in-home pet photography session – and boy, have I been spoiled by my clients’ yards lately! I walked down the stairs to their sprawling lawn, complete with lush trees, bushes, flowers & assorted greenery on every side, and I think I almost fainted! I’m convinced there’s not a prettier backyard in all of Rancho Santa Fe, haha… Plus, I think it’s wonderful to have images that are so personal – the ability to document your own family in your own backyard makes in-home pet photography sessions extra special. So suffice to say that with a gorgeous location, happy dogs and a beautiful family, I was in pet photography heaven! Let me introduce you to the stars of the show:

This is Fozzy! He could be the cover dog for all labradoodles, as far as I’m concerned. #waytoocute

And Fozzy’s older brother, Goober! With a name like that, you know this dog has a silly personality! Goober is definitely a goofball, but he loves being with his family more than anything. And by “being with” I really mean “hovering as close as possible and trying not to give them more than two inches of space”… I think his human brother Jack is standing just barely out of the frame in this image!

And together… well, they’re brothers! Of course they’re best friends! (We took several more “posed” photos of the dogs too, but I thought this image was a nice change of pace for their sneak peek – and it really shows their personalities!)

Karen & Glenn, I hope you have a spectacular vacation, and I can’t wait to see you both again once you’re back in town! Thanks for a fun & fabulous session!
