Scout Dog

Scout is a 10-year-old Dalmatian/Pointer mix who was rescued as a puppy. He is incredibly calm and a complete mama’s boy, always attached to her at the hip everywhere she goes. He’ll only run if she’s running, only play if she’s playing, only stretch out and relax if she is.

He looks amazing for his age, and still likes to play and wrestle like he did when he was a puppy. Scout is handsome and he knows it – when he lies down he curls or crosses his paw like he’s royalty. I could have taken photos of him all day long!

Aiken

Aiken is a one-year-old Boykin Spaniel who has never met a stranger. When someone new walks into his home, he doesn’t bark, but rather jumps with joy and wiggles with so much excitement he can hardly contain himself! He is such a ham, always smiling widely or goofily cocking his head. He is incredibly photogenic, too – in fact, the only tough part about photographing him is trying to keep yourself from petting him instead! He always has to be pressed up against his mom or dad (or the new visitor with the camera), getting his back or ears scratched.

We were lucky to finally have a few consecutive days of sun, so we could enjoy the unbelievably beautiful garden at Aiken’s home. His family has crafted a lovely oasis in the middle of the city, a garden so stunning that it’s been on the cover of Southern Living and been rented for weddings. An adorable dog, a lovely garden, AND a sunny spring day? Does it get any better than this?!

Ling & Lily

It’s been awhile since I’ve able to post! For those in Atlanta, you know we just got through a loooooong spell of wacky weather…icy one day, briefly sunny and nearly hot the next, followed by days and days of rain. After wreaking havoc on my shooting schedule, the weather seems to have settled down (for now) so now it’s time to get caught up…

I last photographed Ling when she was eleven years old and her little sister Lily had just joined the family as a puppy…I can’t believe it’s been five years since that session, but Ling is now sixteen and Lily is five! And they now have a two-legged sister who’s younger than both of them but quickly outgrew them size-wise. :p

Ling is still a beautiful, regal girl – she spends her days as queen of the castle, lounging in her favorite sunny spots while Lily keeps watch at the windows to keep tabs on the comings and goings. These girls make quite the pair!
