First of all: if you recognize these dogs, DON’T tell their father about their photo session! It’s a surprise! :)

I had the pleasure of sharing a lovely photo session with two mutts named Chauncey & Grady, who live in the Kensington neighborhood of San Diego! Surprise pet photography sessions are so much fun to plan & coordinate, and this was no exception! Chauncey is a big dog – the size of a great dane, with shepherd-like fur, so who knows what breeds make up his heritage! Grady, on the other hand, is a little dog that looks just like a fox! I love mutts & mixed-breed dogs, and these two definitely didn’t disappoint; I’d love to hear your thoughts on what kinds of breeds Chauncey & Grady might be in the comments!

We visited the beach in Del Mar, and had a wonderful time running around the sand & surf. And I have to give big kudos to their mom, Megan – she definitely had her hands full, jogging through the water with two energetic dogs! But both pups simply love to please, so with a few treats & tennis balls, we definitely had their attention, haha! (Especially the always-food-motivated Chauncey!)

This is Chauncey! He’s rather majestic, don’t you think?

And this is Grady! Look at that girl run – what a smile!

Together they make such a sweet pair.

Megan, I can’t wait to show you the rest of our photos! Good luck keeping our little secret from your hubby in the meantime! :)
