Northern Virginia Pet Photography Blog – Dogs, Cats, Horses

I created this image in conjunction with the Historical Chocolate Company (this is one of their chocolate molds and also their bunny that they rescued from a local rescue group) to promote the Make Mine Chocolate campaign, which encourages people to buy chocolate bunnies instead of real bunnies for Easter.  If you are sure you’re ready for the commitment of a bunny, don’t forget to check out local rescues as they almost always have beautiful bunnies ready to adopt. Happy Easter!

I love cows and enjoy photographing them when I get the chance.  I’m always intrigued by their social structure and in awe of the fact that they let me see them just being them.  Here are a few from a recent trip at sunrise . . .

They bond to each other and are very affectionate.

This is a mother with her calf and they were very accommodating.  I asked them to look at the camera . . .

. . . then to face sideways.

This is the bull of the herd, I didn’t ask him to do anything.

I was out of town for the past few weeks traveling around New England, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick (where these images were taken) and absolutely loving the scenery.  We probably stopped at every horse and cow we saw – someone even asked me, “Don’t they have cows in Virginia?”.

This horse was having a ball rolling around in the grass.

Oh, and we had to stop at the Car/Dog Wash – I wish we could have seen it in full use!

Glad to be back (well, kind of) – stay tuned for more dogs next week.
