Bunce & Butter

Bunce and Butter are the funniest pair. Bunce is a two-year-old yellow lab, and Butter is his partner in crime, an eight-month-old French bulldog. Even though they’re about the same color, they are definitely not the same size! But that doesn’t keep them from wrestling all day long, or negotiating who gets the next chew or toy.

Even though Butter is the younger of the two, she’s a little less active only because she’s too busy cuddling. Bunce, as you may expect, is always up for a good game of fetch but is just as affectionate and sweet as well. He came to his dad through the service dog organization Warrior Canine Connection, as his dad is a veteran who lost both his legs while in service to our country. (Hopefully I will be able to do a special post on that in the future, but for now, this is a sneak peek featuring the dogs!)

Bunce’s mom and dad are recently engaged, so of course we had to sneak that into the shoot somehow – you’ll see that photo below among all the other photos of Bunce and Butter. A big congratulations to them, and a heartfelt thank you to Bunce’s dad for his service and sacrifice.

Buckley

Buckley is a very striking one-year-old standard dachshund who is quite possibly the fastest and the longest dachshund I’ve ever photographed! He loves to play fetch, which is beautiful and funny at the same time, with his shiny coat and svelte figure, but his floppy ears flying every which way. When he’s not playing, he loves to follow his people around and give them kisses whenever he’s allowed. Isn’t he handsome?

Jaimoe & Georgia

I had the honor of photographing Georgia six years ago when she was four years old – I can’t believe she’s ten now! She still as active as ever, thanks to her new little (but huge!) brother Jaimoe. Jaimoe’s two now, and was just skin and bones when he was rescued off the streets. Of course now he looks amazing, and it was also amazing how quickly Georgia took to her new brother. They hit it off almost immediately and are the perfect pair. When they’re not wrestling and tugging together, they’re napping together!

Georgia’s favorite thing is still the ball, and while her markings have lightened a bit, that sparkle in her warm chocolate eyes hasn’t. Jaimoe loves whatever his sister loves, and when she’s trying to take a break he’ll grab a stuffed toy and push it on her to try to instigate play. (Then he’ll walk away dejected if she refuses. So sweet.) They even look like a matching pair, as Georgia is white with light tan markings and Jaimoe is light tan with white markings. These two are the cutest!
