I had an absolutely incredible Escondido pet photography session with two high-energy dogs recently, Hunter & Caymen! I describe it as “incredible” because I absolutely love watching dogs listen to their instincts, and high-drive dogs are so much fun! These pups are beloved members of the family, but Hunter the English pointer is actually a hunter; he goes pheasant hunting with his dad several times a year! His brother, Caymen, is a border collie mix and a little more laid-back than Hunter, but he also loves to be outside, explore his surroundings & spend time with his family. Together they make an incredibly handsome pair!

Hunter & Caymen’s parents introduced me to a place in Escondido that I’d never been to before: Daley Ranch! With miles of hiking trails, we found a relatively uncrowded spot with plenty of room to run around that was simply perfect. Hunter & Caymen posed like pros for the camera, and I really enjoyed seeing their energetic personalities come to life!

This is Hunter! I just love watching him run… this dog is a machine! So athletic!

And this is Caymen! He’s more of a lover than an action star (especially compared to his brother), and throughout our session he constantly wanted to be right next to his parents… it was adorable to see! He’s a total sweetheart.

We found an incredible old barn, and the dogs were willing to pose for a few photos with it. I love how Hunter is only peeking over the top of his nose at the camera, as if to say, “I’m busy looking for birds & squirrels, you can have a second of my attention before I get back to work! Too many important things to do!” Haha!

Trisha & Daniel, thank you for introducing me to such an awesome new location! I had a great time with you four (hike and all!) – and can’t wait to see you again soon! :)
