Some dogs are just meant to be photographed outdoors and Banks is one of them. He is an exuberant yellow lab who loves his family as much as he loves chasing a yellow tennis ball.
(With the Banks jumping series below, I finally had to come to terms with the fact that I see the world at about a 10 degree slant.)
Something else I realized on this shoot – labs have very strong jaws. Take a look at the squish on this ball: 
If you go back to the previous series, in the last image, the ball is 100% in his mouth.
Banks is one lucky dog. He has 2 adult humans, 2 kids, and a dog brother to keep him company. Top that off with a large fenced yard and a pond just outside the yard that he sometimes gets to play in.
When the ball gets waterlogged and sinks – no worries, Banks can get it:
With all of the fun activity outside, we went in to wind down – here is Banks looking at his human outside:
Remember what I said about Banks being a lucky dog? Check out his dog bed!
My assistant actually took this photo! Great job, Ann!
