Session Fun: Skylar, the king

Over the weekend I had the pleasure of catching up with an old high school friend AND photographing 4 dogs. Yes, 4! I drove up to the small town in rural Maryland where I went to and got to have a lot of doggie fun in her large backyard! All of the dogs were extremely different, yet, together made quite a loving pack. I really enjoyed getting to know each one, their unique personalities, and soaked in all those doggie kisses (and lots of muddy pawprints).

I had so much fun!

Since I spent alone time with each of the pups to capture their true essence as individuals, I thought it only fitting that each get their own sneak peek post.

Today I introduce you to Skylar, the leader of the pack in seniority and attitude. He rules the roost. A kind, old Australian shepherd, with a huge puppy streak. If I hadn’t known he was 10 years old, I would’ve thought he was the same age as my young pup, Atlas. Wild about his big red ball, and desperate for lots of butt rubs, Skylar completely stole my heart as you’ll see from the numerous of photos I chose to include here :).

Session Fun: Evie in her element

In early November I had the good fortune to visit good friends in Colorado. Of course with all the outdoorsy fun, great food, and beer, I also managed to take a few photos of some delightful offspring. I’ve been wanting to meet Evie for awhile now, and she didn’t disappoint. Tiny yet huge in personality, this spunky kidlet charmed me and other houseguests. Thank you to Peter and Olga for showing me such great hospitality when I was in the area and for inviting me into yours and Evie’s world.

Sneak Peek: Atlas 2010 Holiday Preview

We spent the weekend in the woods taking photos for this year’s holiday card. Atlas’ fans are counting on it!

At 3 1/2 years, I was very impressed with my pup’s composure. Usually he gets carried away with his energy, but he was beyond patient with me (and I only had to drop half a bag of pumpkin mango dog treats!). He even stayed put when 30 screaming boy scouts came barreling into the forest, and he only ran off towards the park ranger twice :).

I’m looking forward to sharing the full shoot in all it’s glory, but here are a few cute ones that caught my eye. It’s been so long since we took photos, I forgot how much fun it is to capture his many moods.
