Jazz

Jazz is the first chocolate solid merle cocker spaniel I’ve photographed. And even more unique are the colors in her heterochromia: green and blue. I’m used to seeings dogs with brown and blue or partially blue eyes when they have merle markings, but not green and blue!

If her striking and unusual looks don’t bowl you over, then I know her adorable puppy-ness will. She was one of the most well-behaved puppies I’ve met, supersweet and attentive to her mom and new sister ZoE (who is now eight, but I also photographed her as a puppy!). ZoE is being a great big sister, sharing her toys and being incredibly patient when Jazz’s puppy antics.

I wanted to sneak her into my camera bag at the end of the session, but I thought her mom would probably notice. :p

 

Jazz stepped off the deck for the first time ever during our session!

Otis, Cowboy, Nugget, & Tucker

I knew this shoot was going to be a lot of fun as soon as I walked up the front steps and saw two giant teddy bears standing in the doorway waiting for me! Otis and Cowboy are gorgeous, fluffier-than-a-cloud Newfoundlands, ages five and two. They are exactly the gentle giants you think they’d be, and are hilarious, adorable, and majestic all at once.

If that wasn’t enough excitement for one session, they also have two cat brothers – Nugget, who was found under the crawlspace as a baby, was hand-raised and as a result doesn’t think he’s a cat (or a dog, for that matter) – he thinks he is 100% human! He is unfazed by the dogs and trotted around proudly in his winter sweater. It was so cute I could hardly stand it!

Tucker is the oldest of the crew, the grey tuxedo, a sweet old man who’s more of a loner since he prefers peace and quiet in his golden years.

Rather than trying to explain their personalities to you, I’ll let you get to know them through their photographs!

Dylan

Happy 2018!

My first session of the year was with one-year-old Dylan, a handsome and playful Airedale Terrier. His dads have their hands full with this charming guy – he knows how cute he is and uses it to his advantage. He was totally unfazed by the camera and as soon as he realized all the attention he got when it was focused on him, he started striking poses left and right!
