If you like dogs that are fluffy, small & adorable, you’re going to LOVE Roscoe! He’s a Bichon Frise that recently visited my studio for his first photo session – and I just couldn’t get enough of his cute little face! His soft, fluffy white fur had been freshly groomed and he was trying hard to be on his best behavior (as long as we rewarded him with treats after each pose)! This dog is really special to his dad, Ron, and to be honest, some of my early favorite images that I’m seeing from the entire session are the photos of the two of them together! We even have some photos with Roscoe’s grandparents, too! But since I know my human clients like to see & approve their photos before I post them online for the world to see, haha, I’ll focus on Roscoe’s solo photos for this sneak peek! And you won’t be disappointed – he did great, especially considering it was his first time in front of the camera! He definitely has a mind of his own (for example, his favorite game is You Can’t Catch Me!), and I think that independent spirit really comes through in our photos. I had such a great time working with Roscoe and his family!

Here he is, fluffy tail and all! Just look at that face!  :)

Roscoe definitely knows how to flash that famous Bichon smile!

We spent a bit of time bringing out Roscoe’s playful side, tossing treats & toys to him as he fetched them all around the backdrop, and I think he had a blast running and jumping around!

Ron, thank you for a wonderful afternoon! I’m so happy to have met you & Roscoe. I’ll talk to you soon!  :)

I was so thrilled to meet Echo & Hooligan, two Irish Wolfhounds, for their photo session recently! These gentle giants are absolutely gorgeous dogs, and I have to be honest – I loved learning more about their breed from their mom, Karen! Irish Wolfhounds are an incredible, sweet breed with a long history, and as Karen has learned, when you walk around with two huge shaggy dogs, you start to become a breed ambassador for all the curious people you meet! They make quite an impression on their walks & outings, as you can probably imagine. (And trust me, if you & I have anything in common, you would stop everything you’re doing to meet these dogs if you saw them out & about!) So I was honored to be in their presence for a whole hour, haha – and we had a wonderful photo session together!

This is Hooligan, a five-year-old rescue – and this boy definitely has a mind of his own, haha! I really loved seeing his independent personality come through in the images.

And this is Echo! She’s about 1.5 years old, much younger than Hooligan – but her obedience & behavior are spectacular! She works closely with her mom in various competitions, and is amazingly responsive to her every move. (While still having a mind of her own, too, of course! That trait is pretty unanimous amongst Irish Wolfhounds!)

Oh these two. What a gorgeous pair.

Karen, thank you for introducing me to your two furry grandkids – and for the breed education along the way! I’m looking forward to seeing you again soon! :)
