Bella is a strikingly beautiful tri-colored cocker spaniel with a face that can melt your heart.

There is a quote that goes something like “great photos are like paintings and great paintings are like photos”.

With this image below, I loved the photo, but I saw I painting in it as well, so I found a wonderful artist to turn it into a painting.

This next one I call “the nose knows”.

The dogs were especially animated today so I wanted to share a few of the images and outtakes.  All of these dogs are currently (as of 8/28/09) up for adoption from the Animal Welfare League of Arlington.

Faster than a speeding bullet . . .

. . . nothing’s more powerful than a tummy rub . . .

. . .  able to catch flying red balls in a single bound!

Look, here at the shelter, it’s a dog, it’s a pal, it’s your new best friend!  Run, don’t walk, to the Animal Welfare League of Arlington. 

This concludes our public service announcement.

But WAIT!!!      

                              There’s MORE!!! 

If you go quickly, you’ll be able to see the anti-gravity dog.

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.

Here are a few images from our portrait event this past weekend.  We met some wonderful people and dogs, and got to work with some old friends again which is always great!

Meet Bella, the Bedlington Terrier and Murphy, the Dalmatian.

And we just saw the tip of the iceberg of what an athlete Bella is . . .

Then there was Bruno and Charlie – two very sweet Dachshunds . . .

And the incredibly gorgeous cocker spaniel named Reese.  We’ve had the privilege of photographing Reese before and every time she looks like a work of art.
