Tut, Princess & Swank

These three miniature dachshunds were so much fun to photograph. King Tut is four, and the boss of his two sisters. Princess Cleopatra is his littermate sister, and adorable wire-haired Swank joined the pack a year later. King Tut is the most friendly and outgoing, always happy to be the center of attention. Princess is a little shy and takes a bit to warm up, but she has the cutest, most delicate features and certainly has a face fit for royalty! Swank is the perfect complement to the trio, with her wiry hair and spunky personality. She is the most vocal, always watching out the window and alerting everyone to squirrels and other visitors.

I knew this session was going to be fantastic as soon as I arrived – as I was getting out of my car, I was greeted very enthusiastically by these three barreling down the front path before their mom even had a chance to step out the door to meet me!

Beth - You know/photograph so many cute doxies! I love your photos.

Liz - Lisa, that first photo is SERIOUSLY good – just love the action shot!! But I also love how you have captured the three of them on the step and used just enough depth of field to set them apart from each other. My boss has a miniature doxie and he has that same spunk – way bigger than his body! ๐Ÿ™‚

Tootsie Roll, Abbey & Cooper

Tootsie Roll is a ridiculously adorable four-year-old girl who is the first pug I’ve ever met who loves the water! One of her favorite pastimes is playing in the creek with her pals Abbey and Cooper, a ten-year-old rat terrier and five-year-old golden retriever mix. I had a great time joining these three for a walk at their favorite park. Tootsie is affectionate and playful and trots perfectly next to her mom while they walk. Abbey and Cooper are the adventurers, playing ball and taking off to see what good smells they can find in the brush. Cooper especially loves the water, and lies down in it to cool himself from this thick, beautiful coat.

Aren’t they a great trio?

Beth - What a cute bunch!

We’re back!

It has been a crazy month – three trips we’d been planning all ended up being one after the other, so at the beginning of May I drove Becks and Ellie (Sienna is a very anxious traveler, so she stayed with my sister-in-law) to see their auntie in Philadelphia, and we took the opportunity to stop by Boston as well. There are few things I love more than getting to travel with my dogs, and after hearing how dog-friendly Boston was, I knew I had to take them. It was a million times better than I even anticipated! Not only were they allowed in tons of shops, they got to ride the subway!! Everyone there is super-friendly and enamored of dogs, so we got stopped at literally every block by people who wanted to visit with Becks and Ellie. (They probably thought it was a huge eight-hour therapy visit!) B+E took to the all walking and socializing so well, I think they were born to be city dogs! (Atlanta doesn’t count since hardly anything is walkable. *sniff*)

Words cannot express how amazing this trip was, but these snapshots might! After that we had a long weekend with all three pups to a lakehouse with friends, and finally Corey got my undivided attention for once (my wonderful, long-suffering husband!) on a cruise to the eastern Caribbean. Whew!

Thank you to everyone who waited patiently for proofs, orders, and responses from me while I was traveling. Things are back to normal now and I look forward to posting plenty of new photos from my upcoming shoots.

In the meantime, here are some photos of the kiddos. I needed to test some equipment that was serviced while I was out, but these guys were so tuckered out from their travels they couldn’t even be bothered to lift their heads for me!

Michele - I love the pictures at Princeton. Becks looks so intelligent … like he definitely belongs there!

Liz - So glad that you such a friendly and fun time in Boston! I love to see dogs on the T – they do always attract a lot of positive attention and unfortunately further feed my hankering for a dog ๐Ÿ™‚
