First up is Ginger the Min Pin – love that happy face!

Next is Duece, the King Charles; he was probably the most skeptical of this whole picture taking business, but wow, what a natural. Just look at those big brown eyes…gah!

Harley, like many Cockers I know, is such a sweet girl. And so pretty!

And last, but not least, is Foxy the Pomeranian. She cracked me up – such a fun, happy, busy little bee…with a really big personality!

I really enjoyed working with these guys – they were so much fun!

Sorry, friends, for taking such a long blogcation! We’ve been keeping extremely busy this summer and my poor little blog has been more neglected than usual. I’ve got lots of adorable pup pictures I’d love to share (including this fun foursome) so I hope to dust off my blog and get back to blogging soon!

Jacob is her big (human) brother, and I’m thinking a career in acting could quite possibly be in his future. Such a ham! He and Sadie definitely kept us on our toes. : ) I had an impossible time selecting my favorites, but here are just a few…

What an adorable pair! I’m pretty sure I set a personal record for the number of favorites from a session…thanks again to Sadie and family for a lovely evening!

First up are Owen (left) and Nike – both have awesome and highly contagious smiles, but I think Owen wins the “most likely to be a cartoon character” award.

Owen is also in charge of watching *his* two miniature horses.

Next up is Zeke. His expressions crack me up and I can’t help but to think that he knows something that I don’t…and he’s not telling!

This little guy (I forget his name) has a rockin’ hairdo!

And finally we have sweet Trace and his puppy friend, Pryce. I am so sad to report that Trace passed away the week following our session, just shy of 13 years old. I had the pleasure of knowing Trace for several years; he was a remarkable dog and I know his family is missing him terribly.

Apparently his ears decided to take flight a few days before our session and they made for some very cute (and entertaining) images. Nothing like some big ‘ol puppy ears to make you smile!

Even though Pryce was the star of this session, I also got to play with the rest of his canine family *and* two miniature horses! I hope to share a few of those images soon.

First up is Suzu and she was probably the most animated of the group. I’m pretty sure I captured almost every expression in the book! She’s a fun, gorgeous girl who is absolutely ball CRAZY.

Next up is Taffy; she’s a very sweet girl and has the cutest little grin!

Just shy of 2 years, Rhys here is the youngest of the three. He’s a handsome guy and the perfect mix of sweet and silly.

Thanks to this terrier trio for a really fun morning!

First up is Phoebe, a Dachshund/Beagle mix. She’s such a sweet girl and (as I previously mentioned) has the *best* ears! I love how different they look in every image. And those eyes…such a supermodel!

Rod, the Puggle, is such a funny guy – he cracks me up! He also has some talent in the multiple ear personality department – clearly learned from Phoebe. : )

And last, but not least, Zoe! This is one awesome little cat. She’s very friendly, but like many cats I’ve worked with, a little kitty paparazzi work (and catnip!) was involved. I love her markings…such a pretty girl!

Super big thanks to these guys for an awesome session!

Phoebe = Best. Ears. Ever.
