“His name’s Bruiser, and he’s a boxer,” my client tells me over the phone. Hmmm, I think, sounds like a tough guy and a high-energy breed.

“When you first get here, he’ll bark at you because he doesn’t know you.” Well, as long as he just barks!

It’s safe to say I was slightly nervous going into this session. Bruiser’s mom, Ann, and I had our pre-shoot consultation over the phone due to our busy schedules. That means the first time I met Bruiser was right there at our shoot.

But as it turns out, I had nothing to worry about! Bruiser is a sweet old guy who has a little bit of trouble getting around, and he’s lucky to have a mom who loves him very, very much. Here is the Sneak Peek of just a few images from our session together! Ann, I’m so excited to show you the rest!

Thanks, Ann! I hope you enjoy these few photos!

Disclaimer: I knew Bruiser wouldn’t be anything to “worry” about. My pre-shoot consultations always cover the important issues, such as physical limitations and psychological triggers. I never go into a shoot without knowing as much as I possibly can about the dog(s), and If your dog has an aggressive temperament and you’d still like to have a session, I have policies which keep us both safe. Not to mention insurance :)
