Oh, Maddie! I love this sweet face. And I got to see it again because she visited the studio for the second half of her photo session on Monday! Yay!

If you didn’t see Maddie’s first sneak peek, check it out here. She’s a happy little dog that deserves to be spoiled, and I saw her (& her cockatiel brother!) for the first half of their photo session last week, but since my Great Dane Package comes with more time than this old girl had the energy for in one day, we split up her photo session over two different days to make it a bit more manageable. So she trotted into my studio on Monday, happy & full of energy, and I knew we had made the right choice in giving her time to “recuperate” from last week, haha!

I love black dogs on gray backgrounds. Love love love.

We even spent a little while on the black backdrop, for a bit of drama… I haven’t done this since photographing a couple of black labradors last year, so I was thrilled to get Maddie into the “void”!  :)   (My apologies if certain monitor settings don’t display this photo the way it was intended to be shown from computer to computer.)

And the old girl had plenty of energy left for a run-around in the park, so we visited nearby Presidio Park in central San Diego for more portraits. Both of these are personal favorites of mine… that happy face just beams, and right there with her mom is exactly where Maddie belongs.

Maddie, you’re a champ. Leslie, I’ll see you soon for an epic Ordering Session – I know you’re a pretty analytical & decisive person, but I hope you’re prepared for the massive gallery of photos comin’ your way!  I can’t wait to show them all to you!  :)
