Squiggy, Leo & Haley

I cannot even begin to tell you how much fun this session was – I hope it shows in the photos! Squiggy is a seven-year-old Chihuahua mix, and Leo is a six-year-old long-haired Chihuahua. They are both kept in line by Haley, a gorgeous ten-year-old cat who was completely unfazed by all the activity going on. Squiggy is the spunky active one who loves to fetch, jumps for treats, and is always trying to instigate playtime with Leo. Leo is more regal and reserved, happy to watch for chipmunks and just contemplate life. He also has one of the most charming smiles I have ever seen!

Tater Tot & French Fry

Tater Tot and French Fry are an adorable pair of Wheaten Terriers who are living the life. They spend their spare time traveling the country attending fashion shows to raise money for charity, and each have a custom-made wardrobe that would rival many humans’. :p Tater Tot was our main subject for the session since she won this year’s Red Bandanna calendar contest, but we did sneak in a few of French Fry since he was SO good about letting his sister have all the attention!

Tater Tot is two years old and she and her brother are both very sweet and friendly. I was greeted at the door with lots of kisses and neither were fazed by the camera since they are obviously modeling pros! To win the contest, Tater Tot and her mom raised over $1,500 for Friends of Dekalb Animals – she will be featured on the cover of Red Bandanna 2013 calendar, and calendar proceeds will also go to benefit Friends of Dekalb. Thank you to everyone who participated, and thank you to Tater Tot, French Fry, and Sandy for a very fun session!

Sandy - WOW-ZIER Leesia – You really captured the spirit and personality of Tater Tot and French Fry. These pictures are awesome and I will treasure them.

I can’t wait to see the rest and to see which one of Tater Tot that Red Bandanna choses.

Monty & Pearly

Monty is a 4-year-old miniature schnauzer who was adopted from Atlanta Humane Society, and Pearly is his 3-year-old sister, adopted from Atlanta Pet Rescue & Adoption. One of the many reasons I love photographing rescue dogs is because of all the unique characteristics they have – Monty has the cutest little floppy ears, and Pearl has the most beautiful markings – it almost looks as though she’s had special highlights done with all those gorgeous streaks in her fur.

Monty is always on the go, watching out for passers-by and traipsing through the yard, while Pearly is quieter and more laid-back. Even though they’re opposites, they make the perfect pair: they love to play together, and especially love to snuggle with their humans. I had a wonderful time meeting these two!

Joni Solis - They are super cute. When will everyone learn that they can get adorable and loving dogs from shelters and rescuers and do NOT have to buy one (most pets bought come from puppymills – even when they tell you they do not).

Thank you for always stating if the dog is rescued. I read that it helps other people decide to try the adoption option!
