Rio and Nikko

If you know this pair, don’t tell their dad as this session is a surprise for his birthday! Rio is a gorgeous one-year-old Doberman and Nikko is a very sweet 10-year-old Tonkinese cat. I have always loved natural, uncropped ears and after you meet Rio I think you’ll see why! She is ridiculously photogenic, and even though she’s still a puppy her parents have done a splendid job with her training and she caught on to this whole modeling thing almost immediately.

Nikko is aptly nicknamed “The Love Monkey” and has never met a stranger. She loves to be held (even upside-down!) and has been known to melt the hearts of many professed non-cat-lovers. She acts like a kitten when her favorite toy comes out, and has a ridiculous vertical leap. Oh, that we could all age so well!

Lili & Peter

These scruffalicious terrier mixes are one of the cutest pairs I’ve ever met! Even though they look like it, they’re not littermates, but they were both rescued from local groups with the expectation they would be small-to-medium-sized dogs but both surprised everyone by turning out to be 60 pounds instead. :p Lili is the regal gray girl and is about eight years old. Peter is a year older and looks like the blond dog from the Traveler’s commercials.

They are truly best friends and love to play together – Lili was adopted to be a friend for Peter since he was a bit anxious as an only dog, and they turned out to be a perfect match. Lili is the independent spirit who likes to explore and cause a little mischief every now and then, and Peter is a silly goofball who sticks to his humans like velcro. They are both super-sweet, attentive, and stinkin’ adorable!

Now I’ll let the pictures do the talking:

Peter is famous for his bat ears:

It wouldn’t be a terrier session without some singing!

Out of the office

Just a quick note – I will be out of the office until Monday, April 29th. I’ll return all emails and calls at that time. Thanks for your patience!

And because I can’t post without a photo: I have a long list of images I want of my own kids – making this face, doing that trick…after three years I can finally cross “Ellie’s stretch-and-play-bow” off that list!
