I had a very good feeling about this Point Loma pet photography session before we even started. I’m not sure why – maybe it was because it’d be my first session with my brand-spanking-new 70-200mm lens? Maybe it was because this was my first session in Sunset Cliffs, an absolutely gorgeous location? Maybe it was because my client is one of the groomers at Awesome Doggies?

Whatever the reason, this session definitely lived up to my high hopes! We had a fabulous time and each dog’s personality really shines through in their photos… so without further ado, let me introduce you to Haley & Teddy!

They’re thrilled to meet you! haha!

This is Teddy; he’s a 5-year-old Australian shepherd and a total mama’s boy. He rarely wandered more than ten feet away (only if there was a stick involved, really), and if we asked him for a sit/stay/down/anything, he’d feel nervous at being put on the spot and slinked between his mom’s legs instead! Haha, he’s a total sweetheart – don’t you love that goofy grin that seems to be permanently on his face?

This is Haley, the older of the two. She’s 10 but doesn’t look a day older than her brother! This girl is much more independent and confident, and lucky for me, her obedience is pretty excellent. She was happy to explore Sunset Cliffs and the tide pools in Point Loma, not to mention meet all the other dogs we ran into during our session.

Both of these Aussies are totally devoted to their mom, Elyse. And let me tell you, it was beautiful to see.

Elyse, thank you for introducing me to my favorite new spot! Future Point Loma pet photography clients are always going to hear me suggest Sunset Cliffs as a potential location from now on.  (Well, at least those clients with outdoorsy dogs like yours! haha!)
