These three delightful Yorkie and Silky terrier boys came to visit me in Pensacola all the way from Brewton, Alabama with their parents this weekend! And while I was nervous about telling them all apart, once I met them, I knew it wouldn’t be hard. Let me introduce you!
We can start with the middle brother – just because I feel like mixing it up. This is Pete, who’s 5 years old and a ball of energy!
This is Duncan, the newest addition to the family: he’s only 7 months old, weighs 4 pounds, and is pretty much scared of everything.
Last but not least, Jax, the sage (and only slightly ornery) old man at 13.
After relaxing at the park, we went somewhere a little more scenic…
Some of us jumped in the water. No names mentioned.
I probably yammered their parents’ ears off by going on about the light at that time of day… well, this is why!
But where I think these boys really shined was the studio. Just look at that pose by the 7-month-old!
If this photo had a sound effect, it would be “whoosh”
Even old man Jax brought out his playful side!
What a beautiful trio.
Bye bye boys!
Something tells me this gallery is going to be, well, not Yorkie-sized, but Great Dane-sized! But you’ll have to wait until the new year to see!

Sonny and Samantha are two older dogs who I met for the first time on Saturday. They were a little anxious to be somewhere new, but I think they did great at the Ft. Walton Beach landing! We had a great time relaxing at the park – enjoy the images!
This is Samantha.
After a bit of convincing, Samantha decided she loved the boardwalk!
This is Sonny. I just had to include a close-up of his crazy spotted tongue!
Thanks for a great afternoon, Judy!

Did you know there’s a dog-shrinking machine out there somewhere?
It’s true, and 11-year-old Skidd was perhaps one of its first subjects.
Or at least, that’s what I think. Because although her parents told me that Skidd is a lab mix, she just looks like a miniature labrador (40 lbs). I think the only difference (or evidence of some other mystery breed) is found in her ears – they’re more expressive than any lab’s that I’ve ever met! They seem to float around her face, like somewhere there are little jet streams of air continually pushing them up. It’s pretty darn cute. You’ll see what I mean in this Sneak Peek…
I can’t resist captioning this one: “HEY MOM! HEY!”
She has the prettiest white eyelashes!
I’m loving the light on her golden coat… thank goodness the rain held off!!
Thanks for a great session, Skidd! I’ll see you & your parents again soon!

Lola and Sprockett are two completely opposite dogs. Let’s start with the basics: Lola is a girl (the cocker spaniel), and Sprockett is a boy. Lola is a cute mix of black & white, and Sprockett is totally stark white. But while Sprockett is a happy, outgoing dog, Lola has a troubled past (she might be from a puppy mill) and doesn’t ever wants to be without her mother, Deb. She’s a fearful dog, and never seems to be quite at ease when anyone besides Deb is around. It’s a sad thing to witness, and a testament to the horrible truth of puppy mills and dog abuse. It’s a good thing Lola has found such a loving home with Deb!
I still managed to get a few smiles out of both Lola and Sprockett during our session at the Milton dog beach! How could a day at the park not cheer anyone up? Here’s the Sneak Peek of these cuties.
Here’s Lola!
The always-outgoing Sprockett…
Plus, they came straight from the groomers to our session – and what would a grooming be without a little pizzazz?
Thanks again for a great afternoon, Deb! Talk to you soon!

This wise old man, sweet old girl, and crazy young lady all live together with their mom, the fabulous Nicole of 3 Dogs & A Chick. It was a lot of fun to meet them and hang out in their (awesome) yard, photographing the way they simply always are. I’ll remember this session for how relaxed it was – more than just because we didn’t try for any running and jumping photos! There is a calm about these dogs, this household, that is enviable. You could feel the sense of harmony as these pups happily wandered around, sniffing the leaves and monitoring the squirrel activity among the trees. It was almost therapeutic, so thank you, Nicole, for opening your family to me and my lens.
Plus, a big piece of good news from the Porch Patrol!
Allison Shamrell Photography will officially be INVADING 3 Dogs & A Chick for mini-sessions at the end of this month!
That’s right, you can sign up now for a time slot on Saturday, May 28th to get photos like these of your own mutts! Here’s what you can look forward to:
~ 30 minutes of session time with Allison, which will be spent capturing the personality of your dog(s) in a fun, no-stress, non-posed way!
~ That’s enough time to result in at least fifteen images you’ll want to frame. I guarantee it. (Probably more, but I like to under-promise and over-deliver.)
~ Completely amazing backgrounds to work with: the spacious park and dock area behind 3 Dogs & A Chick, the cute courtyard of the shop’s previous location, and a studio backdrop inside. Basically, more variety than you’ll be able to handle.
~ A private, password-protected online gallery of your images, so you can look them over dozens of times before deciding on your favorites.
~ A hands-on look at the entire product line- there’s so much more than prints! You’ll see everything I have to offer.
~ 20% off all of these products for timely orders!
~ A custom video slideshow like the one you just watched in this blog post.
~ As many phone conversations, emails, video chats, and letters-by-pigeon as you need to determine what’s best for your house and lifestyle. I want to give you something you absolutely love – and nothing less!
Since this is half the time of The Beagle Package, it’s also half the price. $65 will get you everything listed here, plus an 11×14 print and digital image of your favorite photo! Those two goodies alone are a $55 value… do the math!
To make an appointment: call 3 Dogs & A Chick at 850.243.7297, or stop by in person. Courtesy of their website, here is a map to their (new) location.
Grab your time slot today, before they’re gone! (Can’t make it on Saturday? Call the shop anyway, and let them know you’d like to be placed on the waiting list if Sunday opens up. With enough interest, I’ll be there Sunday as well.)
Do you live in Pensacola, and driving to Ft. Walton Beach sounds like too long to spend in a car with your dog? Perhaps one of my standard sessions will suit your needs. See your options here.
And of course you can contact me with any questions you have. My email address is allison@allisonshamrell.com and I can’t wait to hear from you!
