The photo session that almost didn’t happen! When Mark and Leanne told me they were in town for three weeks, I figured we had plenty of time. But between my travel schedule and the weather, this session took place the day before they left town – cutting it a bit close for comfort! They were awesome about all the rescheduling though, as well as my frazzled state on the day of the session, since I had to cut out of the store early (I was determined that they get their photos). Getting coverage at the store turned out to be worth it – both Mark and Leanne came, as well as Justin, their twelve year old son, and of course the dogs! Meet Scooter, a 3 year old Lab/Brittany mix, and Bella, a 9 year old Weimaraner!
We decided to have the session on the river trail, since we had two water dogs on our hands. They wasted no time checking it out….
Scooter explores the ice….very carefully!
Justin needs to move to Telluride….he was a wonderful “dog wrangler” when needed, getting one dog out of the way, or encouraging another dog to get into a certain area, and I think I need to hire him! Although he was mostly out of the shots, I caught some great moments between him and Scooter, who was more than happy to play some frisbee!
Once the Flying Squirrel was out, the mania began! She may be nine years old, but Bella isn’t too old to get in on the action!
Scooter wasn’t ready to give it up, though, and wanted to show his goofy side.
Poser!
I found Scooter so interesting. In all my years of owning a dog boutique, I have never seen a mix like him. All the markings of a Brittany, but the size and conformation of a Lab. He was really gorgeous.
Not to be outdone, Bella was quite the beauty, and equally adept at posing naturally for me.
All dogs at some point or another stick their nose into the snow! I’d love to know what that is about, silly Bella!
Ending with two “beauty shots” – one of Bella against the backdrop of the North Ridge, and one of Scooter with Ajax in the background. I am so glad this session FINALLY ended up happening, thank you so much to Mark, Leanne, and of course Justin! I hope to see you back in Telluride this summer, make sure you bring the pups in for some cookies!
