We had a fun session with Cowboy and Lea – two Siamese mixes who were just gorgeous. They were both adopted from the Siamese Foundation, Cowboy from Virginia (on right) and Lea from North Carolina (on left).
Cowboy and Lea’s owners are both in the military and they fly a flag outside of their home. Since Cowboy and Lea love to hang out on the front porch, we made it a goal to capture an image with the flag in it. 
It started with a 3:45 am wakeup call. It was pouring down rain. We waited until 5:00 am to see if it would stop. It did. So, out we went to Assateague to watch the “wild pony beach walk” where they herd the wild horses down the beach prior to their swim to Chincoteague later this week.
We were surprised to be greeted with a beautiful sunrise.
Then we waited, and waited, and waited . . . and waited some more.
Finally, we saw some movement down the beach . . .
The herd is surrounded by folks on horses called “Salt Water Cowboys”. They keep the herd together and moving down the beach.
The helicopter had a great vantage point.
Every once in a while a horse would separate from the herd. This was a short ocean “chase” . . .
. . . and this was a short swamp “chase”.
There were a lot of foals in the group. In fact, at least once, each of these foals broke away from the herd and had the cowboys rounding them up.
This little guy was particularly persistent.
We had romantic visions of seeing the horses running wild down the beach, and while that didn’t exactly happen, it was amazing to experience part of the Chincoteague wild pony event that happens every year.
Meet Charlie. He is a very sweet Cocker Spaniel who loves his mom and carrying his favorite toy with him wherever he goes.
He has a gorgeous purple settee in his home and we were lucky enough to be able to use it for his portrait. He looks so regal on purple!
His hair feels as silky as it looks.
Meet Morgan. She is a beautiful, 3 year old yellow lab. I went to meet her and her family to talk about our upcoming session and ended up taking a few images. There will be many more after our “real” session.
Morgan knows how to stay cool during these dog days of summer!
Stay tuned to see more images of Morgan in the next few weeks!
