Meet Sebastian (white poodle), Bandit (black poodle) and Kalie ( Bichon mix).   Kalie was adopted from the Maryland Bichon Frise Rescue.

The goal was a wall portrait featuring all of them in their environment, as well as holiday cards.

Kalie shows off a little here:

Thought I’d try them in black and white . . .

This is going to be the holiday card that features them:

Aren’t they gorgeous?  Thanks Sebastian, Bandit and Kalie!

Aslan and Maya are two amazing dogs.  They are Cane Corso’s.  We had the opportunity to photograph Aslan last year when he was still a puppy - now, he’s an adult and has a new sister, named Maya.  Here they are:

They are two very big and very sweet dogs!

Maya is pretty mellow . . .

. . . and Aslan is as playful as ever!

We had an incredible event portrait session this past weekend at the Olde Towne Pet Resort in Springfield, VA.  All the dogs, cats and humans were great to work with and I’m excited to show some of the images from the sessions.

This is Maddy, a Chihuahua puppy, and her older brother, Monty, a Westie.

Chatchky is a mixed breed dog that was picked up as a stray by animal control, but the animal control officer brought him home instead of to the shelter (because he was too cute!).  He lived outside at their house for a while, and then he was put into a new home.  The new home wasn’t his forever home.  Enter Homeward Trails who helped to re-home him and, well, to say he hit pay dirt is an understatement! 

He’s not just a pretty face, he’s also quite the athlete . . .

This image will be displayed as a wall portrait . . .

From a photography perspective, he was an outstanding model.  He gave great expressions and was willing to try anything.

The three images below will be displayed in a frame together.

He has the run of a gorgeous home and a backyard with a spectacular vista.  We knew that we’d have to try to take at least one image with a sunset in it – which was made very challenging by this crazy weather we’ve been having.  But, after rescheduling a few times and waiting patiently for the sun to go down, we got our sunset!

In case you were wondering, Chatchky is 6.5 years old.  He loves cheese, the wind on his face, following the stock market with his Dad, car rides, long walks, running & jumping, toys he can tear up and the smell of most flowers his Mom brings home. He doesn’t like the black cat that often hangs out in his yard, frogs, thunder, lemons, and medicine. 

This is our last image of the session.
