Sally

Sally is a 5-month-old border collie mix who was adopted through the Atlanta Humane Society this spring. She embodies everything perfect about puppies: she’s alternately bouncy and sleepy, eager to please, and ridiculously soft and sweet. She’s obsessed with tearing up paper (her only flaw, really!) but is doing wonderfully well in her puppy training classes. I love the markings on her feet and her expressive eyes – it was hard to end the session because every time I turned around she was doing something even cuter than the frame before!

Campbell

Campbell is an 8-month-old cocker spaniel mix puppy who was adopted from the East Coast Humane Society. I was surprised to find out when I met him that he looked a lot like our blond babies, which of course was just an extra plus because I always have a soft spot for any face that even remotely resembles Becks’ or Ellie’s.

He’s his mom’s first dog ever, and boy is she doing a fantastic job with him!! I wish I had been this wise when I rescued my first – he’s completed training classes and has been well-socialized so that he does well with dogs, cats, and strangers. Even though he’s bursting with puppy energy, he still obeys all his commands and is an all-around wonderfully behaved dog with a great temperament.

Campbell has toy ADD – he wants whatever toy you pick up, and if you show him too many at once he’ll run around in circles alternately picking each one up and dropping it for the next one. Isn’t he a cutie?

Henry & Lucy

Henry is a one-year-old Labradoodle, and although the session was for him, I had to squeeze in a few of his older sister Lucy, a 14-year-old miniature dachshund, because she was so adorable! Ironically, as Henry was the intended model, he was much less interested in the camera while Lucy followed me around everywhere and just looked up at me, wagging in earnest.

It was really sweet to see how patient Lucy has been with Henry’s boundless energy, and how gentle he is with her. Even with their size and age difference, they never got into any scuffles and just peacefully co-exist together. What a pair!
