Hershey

Get ready for some serious cuteness overload!! This is Hershey, a 3.5-month-old Yorkshire Terrier who was just adopted from Atlanta Pet Rescue & Adoption. He is settling into his new home wonderfully, and joins big sisters Lizzy and Mary, and big brother Pete.

It was a wonder I made it through this session – I wanted to put down my camera and snuggle with him the whole time instead! He is super-friendly, spunky, and absolutely fearless – he loves to play and actually ran smack into my camera at one point. I don’t think I have to tell you how much fun this session was.

Congratulations to his new family – and thank you to them for showing that even if you are looking for a purebred puppy, rescuing is always an option! ๐Ÿ™‚

One of his favorite pastimes (much to his mother’s dismay) is sniffing around to find worms to roll on!

Lisa - You are a photography force! Gorgeous photos and horray for you and these clients for adopting through rescue. “You won’t change the world by rescuing a dog, but you’ll change the world for the dog you rescued.”

Kara - This puppy just MIGHT be cuter than my 2 pups! The running shot, the peeking out the door shot, well all of them are PRECIOUS!

Liz - Are you serious??? How CUTE are these photos? Especially the last two. And I am really not a small dog person, but I just want to reach in for a hug ๐Ÿ™‚ I am sure he must have been super squirmy and active, which makes the shots all the more amazing!

Maximus & Willow

Maximus is a handsome 11-year-old German Shepherd and Willow is his 5-year-old sister, a Boxer mix. Max is his mom’s shadow and they even share the same birthday! I had a wonderful time meeting this pair – they are both so sweet and eager to please. They both had that perfect “doggie smile” and cocked their heads on cue like they’d been doing this forever!

Joni Solis - Lucky people to have the love of these two wonderful dogs. Great photos. Thank you for sharing them.

Mystery schnauzer!

This handsome miniature schnauzer shall remain nameless, but suffice it to say that he would be a star had he gone into commercial modeling! He is one of the most obedient, accommodating and cheerful little guys I’ve ever met. Not only is he exceptionally well-trained, you can also gently coax him into just about any position, ask him to “stay” and he’ll hold it! He was an absolute dream to photograph.

admin - I’ve seen these warnings too and have been sure to buy only those jerky treats sourced and processed in the US. Thanks for continuing to circulate this info!

Kelly Russo - I love your photos and look forward to your posts! In one photo above the dogs seems to be holding a chicken jerky treat. I just wanted to pass along the information about how dangerous those treats are – they have been linked to several dog fatalities. http://www.wpxi.com/news/news/local/fda-issues-chicken-jerky-dog-treat-warning/nN4Yn/

Joni Solis - Great looking dog and love a little mystery from time to time.

Beth - I love the shot with the ducks! Reminds me of a children’s book: “Angus and the Ducks”, even though those ducks weren’t afraid.

Liz - Oh my gosh! I got such a cute shock (is there such a thing?) when I saw his legs – just seeing his face I expected a Highland Terrier body! What a lovely little guy!!
