This post has been a long time coming…thanks for your patience Eliza and Ted! The session itself was a long time coming as well. We had countless issues with weather, and then when we finally did think it was the perfect day, it was sunny one minute, and dark clouds the next. Then Juno, of all days, decided she didn’t want to go in the water….which is pretty much where she is at all times! So we ended up splitting her session and then doing a VERY mini session for Tug. Phew! Loads of fun though, as Juno has a fabulous personality and Tug…well who doesn’t love puppies?
Introducing my favorite new model, Juno!
Juno mostly likes to fish. Or look for fish. Or just walk around in the water and retrieve sheets of ice if she can’t find fish. She has never caught a fish, so who knows how she can be so patient for something she doesn’t even know if she likes.
Thank you Juno, for licking the drool off your face. 
When a fish can’t be found, a twig will do the trick. 
Still looking….
Hey Jen, there are no fish!!!
Perhaps the sheet of ice is worth retrieving….
No asking to pose necessary…the great thing about Juno is that she knows she is a rock star.
AND…..We even got the elusive running Newfie! 🙂 What a happy girl.
Do you think Juno’s mom has cookies???
Welcome to the world, Tug! Tug is Juno’s new little brother. Unfortunately, Tug arrived in Telluride during our off-season, or what is known as “mud season”. No snow, no grass….just mud. Everywhere. I searched and we found one of the first patches of grass to get some baby photos of Tug while he was (relatively) small. He was like a bear cub!
Tug was only interested in eating anything he could find on the ground, and I was really lucky if he looked up at all. Kitty noises, squeals, squeakers….no interest. I have to say, one of the hardest puppies I have ever photographed. His attention span was about a nanosecond, so when he did look up, there was only about a 50/50 chance I was going to hit the shutter at the right time. I was out of town for almost a month after this session, and Tug has grown about double the size he was when I took these photos….and has learned the command “drop”, which hopefully will keep him out of trouble. I have a feeling you might be seeing more of Tug in the future.
Thanks Eliza for the opportunity to photograph your dogs, and your patience with multiple rescheduling!
