dog photographer, cat photographer & pet photographer specializing in on-location pet photos for Atlanta and surrounding north Georgia
Simba is a very sweet cockapoo who didn’t even see the camera when I arrived – all she saw was a new person who was now available to pet her nonstop and play keep away with her mini tennis ball. She was one of the happiest and bounciest dogs I’ve ever met. She’s almost two years old now, but she still has 100% of that wide-eyed puppy enthusiasm for everyone and everything. What a delight she was to photograph!
Bella is a four-year-old lab/pointer mix who was so much fun to photograph. She has so many facets to her personality: one moment she’s giddy and playful, the next serious and full of determination. In quiet moments, she looks so regal and majestic, and when she’s playing she’s all awkward limbs and elbows. (If you know her, don’t tell her dad since this is a surprise for the holidays!)
She is incredibly well-behaved, so responsive and eager to please. Bella was adopted through the Atlanta Humane Society and is another perfect example of what amazing dogs are just waiting in shelters to be rescued. Not only is she gentle and loving with her own people, she’s terrific when meeting new people and new dogs – you could take her anywhere! (Which certainly comes in handy when you’re trekking all over a busy park for a photo session. :p ) Thank you, Bella and Rachel, for a wonderful session!
Pauline and Stella are quite the showstoppers – two of the most beautiful girls you’ll ever see. Pauline is a Border Collie mix with one blue eye and one brown eye, and giant bat ears. Stella is an Australian Cattle dog with a lovely salt-and-pepper coat and a sweet, shy smile. They’re both rescues (Pauline’s striking mix is of the many reasons I love mixed breeds!), and they hit the jackpot with their new family. Each arrived with some behavioral challenges, but their amazing family took the time and patience to work with them so that if you met them now, you’d never guess there was a time they weren’t perfect!
Stella almost seems like she has an on/off switch – she’s incredibly laid-back and calm and her favorite pastime is sunbathing on the porch…until you bring out one of her favorite toys. Her expression turns from relaxed to crazy-intense, and then she’s off – playing tug with her sister and zooming around the house. But as soon as the toy is gone, she’ll flop over for a nap on the hearth just like that! Pauline’s love is for people rather than toys. She always has to be where her humans are, and will snuggle under the blankets even if it’s way too warm for her because she doesn’t want to leave your side.
All that said, words will still not convey how gorgeous and sweet these girls are – so now I’ll let the pictures do that!
Myboyzach - so cute, love the ones with the toy–it pops against her coat! Hope all is well with the kids!
