I can’t believe how much little Chloe has grown! I photographed her when she was four months old, again when she was one – and now she’s already three years old, and still sweet and loving as ever. She’s the perfect blend of playful and calm, dancing for treats and fetching her mini tennis ball, and then crashing hard on the couch for a snooze next to her mama.
Thanks, Erica and Chloe, for another fantastic session!
Sasha and Shelby are beautiful six-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Shelby was rescued from a puppy mill raid three years ago, where she was used as a breeding dog and was terrified of everything when her parents first brought her home. It was wonderful to see how much she’s blossomed in her new home now that she has a family that loves and cares for her. She’s happiest when she’s tearing around the backyard with Sasha and loves to chase toys, although she hasn’t figured out how to pick them up and bring them back yet. :p
Sasha was a complete and total ham and made it clear from the moment I arrived that I was there only to give her belly rubs. There was actually a point where I was trying to roll her back onto her stomach because all I had were upside-down images! These girls will be getting their first human sibling this winter, so we had this session so that the girls will have their own round of photos before they have to share the limelight.
Sasha has the Blenheim coloring, and Shelby the tricolor (but missing the tan, funnily enough!):
I’m in love with that last shot! Nice work 🙂
Thanks so much for capturing our precious babies so perfectly, Lessia! We absolutely adore the photos & can’t wait to see them all:)
People that take on puppy mill dogs are the kind of people we need more of — so loving and kind. Thank you for sharing these enchanting photos!
Leesia, these are gorgeous!! I had a King Charles Cocker Spaniel growing up, and she was a beautiful, friendly dog. These are such great photos. I love the focus on the eyes in the close shots!
These sweet senior Jack Russell girls are both nearly deaf, but if their mom hadn’t told me I don’t think I would have known it! It can often be hard to catch and keep a deaf dog’s attention, but these girls were so in-tune and attentive to their mom. We thought they might be a little reluctant to have their afternoon naps interrupted, but once they realized there were treats involved, they started striking poses left and right. They also have one of the most beautiful backyards a photographer could ever dream of.
If all that weren’t enough to make this an amazing session, I was told that both of these girls were literally rescued from the streets. Lily was rescued just two years ago even though she was already ten years old – which makes her mom a hero in my book! Lily has the all-white face with the brown-tipped ears (left in the image below);Â Pippy is the older sister with more red in her face. (If you know these adorable girls, don’t tell their dad as these photos are going to be a surprise!)
I just want to snatch them both up in a cuddle! Precious pictures!
I love the second to last one where she is sitting–they all look so human and ADORABLE.
Love, love, L-O-V-E them – and their daddy will too!! Can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures!!
Love the way you have captured their eyes in every single photo. The story behind the photos is an added bonus. Aren’t rescue stories the best? 🙂
Erica - Thank you Leesia!!! These pictures of my Chloe are precious!!
Andrea - Makes me want to get Oliver’s pics done again!! He’ll be 4 in February…and is aging beautifully. 🙂 I adore this breed. CKCS are the best!
scruffy dog photography - what is it about red-and-white cavs? they’re absolute, sure-fire perfection for any camera, i swear. one of the best models.
these are awesome, L. love em all!
