We had the opportunity to photograph the canine volunteers for Fairfax Pets on Wheels at their annual picnic.  We’re going to create fun pet trading cards and unique photo notepads for the human volunteers using these images.

If you have any extra time and a four-legged companion, check out this awesome volunteer organization:  www.fpow.org

So, our ad for the May issue of the Washingtonian features a Portuguese Water dog – OK, it’s a little shameless.  Like all other pet photographers around the country – we would love to photograph Bo Obama!

Max (the handsome dog) and his cats had a gorgeous coffee table book made using images from our session.

I had the opportunity to photograph Suzanne and another of her dogs a few years ago and I love it when I get to see past customers again. 

Meet Suzanne Fauber and her dog Scout.  Suzanne is a realtor in northern Virginia who understands how important animals are in our lives.  Scout entered Suzanne’s life in August 2007. She was given to Suzanne from a former client’s son and daughter who felt it was in the best interest of  Scout to  have her become part of a family that had more flexibility and already had animals.  Scout fit right in!  Believe it or not, Scout even sponsors her own softball team!

Cobb is a very sweet shepherd mix who is also a therapy dog with Fairfax Pets on Wheels. Raleigh is a gorgeous black brindle mix that was adopted from H.A.R.T.

Here’s Cobb – she is beautiful, sweet and very intelligent:

And here’s Raleigh – he’s very handsome and quite the character:

During this session, we worked both outside and inside to create a variety of images. 

Raleigh adores Cobb – it was great to see their subtle interactions. 

Cobb is great at giving her paw.  We were going for a sit so I asked for her paw thinking she would sit first – but, no, she was laying down so she just offered her paw from there.  With those big brown eyes and her love of people, I can only imagine how many smiles she has been responsible for as a therapy dog.
