I shared a wonderful photo session with Keiko the dachshund recently! Keiko is one of the happiest & most easy-going dachshunds I’ve ever met, to be honest with you. He’s such a good boy! He’s very treat-motivated – I mean very – and can you believe that his favorite snacks are carrots & apples?! What a healthy pup! But he loved my studio treats too (which are admittedly less nutritious), and so I think he had a great time posing for all kinds of rewards!

I have to say, I really loved watching Keiko interact with his parents, especially his dad. They have such a wonderful bond – his dad taught him an adorable “down” trick that involves getting as low to the ground as possible – and since Keiko is a rescue, I think he knows just how lucky he is to be a part of such a loving family. :)

Here he is! Sure, there’s a bit of white on his face, but that doesn’t slow Keiko down!

He was more than happy to pose for us in front of Coronado’s most beautiful landscaping & greenery…

Oh, those eyes!

Art & Wendy, thank you so much for introducing me to your handsome boy! I can’t wait to show you all our images – especially the family photos! :)
