I had the pleasure of meeting Molly & Cody, two goldendoodles, for their photo session recently! And I knew that Molly would be a dream to work with – I’d met her before, at her dad’s office – and she’s a typical, outgoing, 1-year-old, happy-go-lucky goldendoodle who can make friends with anyone! Cody was just as adorable, but in a distinguished, 12-year-old senior way, haha – and from his appearance I wouldn’t have guessed that he’s a goldendoodle in a hundred years! He looks like a totally different kind of dog, but a very handsome one, of course, so I really enjoyed working with him too.

We started our photo session in the studio, where Molly was happy to explore and play, whereas Cody’s activity of choice was laying down to relax. We headed to Coronado Ferry Landing for a few images with the San Diego skyline, and it was a fun challenge to photograph Molly on a dock, since we had to be careful that she wouldn’t jump straight into the water, haha! And then we skipped over to the beach in front of the Hotel Del Coronado, where the dogs ran & played until the sun disappeared beneath the horizon, leaving us with a brilliant sky. I had such a great time with these happy dogs!

This is Molly! Such a sweet girl.

Beautiful dog, beautiful city… what more could you want?

And this is Cody! All smiles on the beach.

Instead of sprinting back & forth around the beach like his sister, Cody prefers to go at a slower pace. I love his happy, contented demeanor – such a beautiful old soul.

Paul & Susan, I had a fabulous time with you! Thank you for introducing me to your adorable goldendoodles – I can’t wait to show you the rest of our images soon! :)
