Roman

Roman is a handsome 4-year-old Bernese Mountain dog and cousin of Shuggie, Georgia and Charlie Brown. He has some really endearing quirks: when he’s outside, he’ll jump and bark and beg for his toys, but as soon as he has them he drops them on the ground and walks away! When he’s excited he likes to nibble (on a bed, a plush toy, an arm!), or he walks in figure-eights back and forth between your legs.

And when you ask him if he wants to go for a walk, he finds his leash and runs around with it in his mouth. Aren’t dogs the funniest?

Adrienne - You are such a talented photographer, to be able to capture animals is a true gift without blurs or their eyes not looking at you. I just love these pictures of Roman. Thanks for sharing.

Tucker

This year just seems to be the year of amazing black lab/black lab mixes! Tucker is a three-year-old rescue pup who is bursting with energy, personality, and love. He loves kissing and cuddling, and also runs circles so fast in the backyard my head was spinning halfway through the session! His dad does this hilarious thing where he counts down from three, and by the time he gets to two Tucker takes off to all the corners of yard; he’s done this since he was a puppy and it is the funniest thing.

When he’s not burning off energy, he’s in his room (yes, of course he has his own room!) stretched out on the futon and beckoning with his eyes to be petted. And if all that weren’t cute enough, his ears have three positions — “the lab ears,” “the ? ears” and “half lab half ?” ears (any guesses to what he’s mixed with?), shown in sequence below:

Whenever his mom tried to move away from him to sneak out of the frame, he would reach out like this. Sweet boy.

See what I mean about the bedroom eyes?

This is Tucker’s “lemon face”:

Sonnet, Spencer & Coach

These sweet Welsh terriers are a mother and son trio – Sonnet (in the middle, below) is the mom, and Spencer and Coach are her two sons. Sonnet looks amazing at 14 years, and the boys are both 10 years old, if you can believe it.

Lovely Sonnet is a retired show champion and former therapy dog as well. Spencer is the most outgoing of the three and always wants to be the star of the show, and don’t tell him he’s 10! He still thinks he’s a puppy and all the modeling for this session hardly fazed him at all! Coach is the calm brother, always ready for a belly rub or a good nap. All three were fantastic models and I enjoyed every minute with them. (Carolyn, thanks for a great session!)

Barbara Brennan - Carolyn: Totally awesome. Actually brought tears to my eyes remembering my Buster. The longer the time without that incredible boy, the more I long for a Welshie. Love Snicks but Buster she ain’t. The indominable spirit of a Welshie is among their most endearing qualities abd Buster epitomized that attribute. He may not have “seen” the last 3-1/2 to 4 years but he actually did see and enjoy more than any dog I’ve ever known. Every day was an adventure for him and he couldn’t wait to start the day. The beautiful eyes of your “kids” speak volumes. I have to be honest and tell you that I truly envy you!

Rhonda - Fabulous shots! You captures such great little moments. They’re all adorable. 🙂

Todd Bates - I am amazed! Absolutely amazed! Sue and I constantly take photos of our Welsh, but have no skill, at best. I am amazed!I can make no comments worthy of these photos!

Bethany Giannini - These are wonderful photos! So cool that Sonnet was a therapy dog too. 🙂

Carolyn - The pleasure of having Leesia here to photography was all ours.
It’s a toss up who had more fun – the dogs, Leesia or me. Thanks a gadzillion, Leesia. You are a genius.

Sarah - Aaaahhhhh! Those faces are to die for! So adorable!

May 3, 2011 - 3:13 pm

Debi - Wow! Fabulous photos! I love the last one with the two boys looking out of their respective windows. And the one peaking over the edge of the bed. Yes, it’s a good thing WTs are super cute ’cause they are little devils too. Not these three though, perfect angels all the time I’m sure : )

Stephanie - What an amazing session!!!! Love the pup pictures on their back. So cute 🙂
