This is part 2 of Hokie and Monday’s blog post.  Here is the whole canine pack – Monday, Kodi and Hokie:

Three adopted dogs and three success stories – does it get any better than that?

Bear is beautiful blue Shar-Pei.  He is blind but you wouldn’t notice – what you would notice is the sense of calmness and “wise-beyond-his years” feeling you get just by being next to him.  And talk about photogenic! 

Quinn is a soulful, Bluetick Coonhound.  She was rescued after spending part of her life surviving on her own in the woods.

Then, there is the uber-cute Elliot.  He is 35 pounds of mixed terrier –  mixed with joy, that is.

They were quite an unexpected group to photograph. They had such different personalities, and the longer I was there, them more they’d open up and let me see it.  As I left, I imagined how much fun the conversation would be around the dinner table if they could all talk.

Here’s Bear.

And here’s Elliott . . . front and back.

This is Quinn saying “I AM running”.

Quinn has the most interesting markings – and a unique white dot on her forehead.

We had a great session with Spencer, Maggie and Madison.  They are beautiful English Cocker Spaniels with the most unique markings!  We worked both inside and outside.  Our main goal was to create a portrait for their owner that she could use on the website of her company – Canine Commuter.  (go to her website to see it)  We also wanted to create wall portraits for her home.  Here are some of the other images from the session:

Meet Cooper (in front), Penny, Kate and Ruby Dee.  They are all four rescues - Penny and Ruby Dee are from GRREAT(Golden Retriever Rescue Education and Training), Cooper came from an Irish Setter rescue group and Kate came from PAW (Partnership for Animal Welfare).  They have an incredible back yard and are lucky to live with a master gardener and a volunteer for GRREAT.  The goal of this session was to create a portrait with all four dogs together in an outdoor setting.
