Meet Jack. Jack just turned three and this was our fifth or sixth portrait session with him and his brother.

Tammy is gaga over Jack and she's not a fan of Bichons or Poodles. Jack is half each, but such a cool little guy.



This is Daisy Mae, a recently rescued Bichon who is still showing both the physical and emotional trauma that landed her in rescue to begin with. She's in a nice foster home at the moment.

These little ones are what the event is all about.



Here's what our set looked like from a distance. I ended up moving and feathering the fill on the right quite a bit to kill the shadow it was casting.

We had really wanted to do more formal, no prop sessions this year, but rain and mud made the flowers a good way to hide muddy paws for those who didn't get to us in the very beginning. Still, we did a lot of our sessions with the dogs positioned away from the crate to keep it simple and focused on the dog.
