Banks – It’s All About the Ball – Yellow Lab

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: banks_ball_squish

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!

Morgan – The Model

This is the second part of our session with Morgan, the beautiful yellow lab.  Because of the heat, we worked in the very early morning, and it turned out to be one of those very humid, foggy mornings.

Someone suggested I try this in black and white, and when I did, I liked it!  It almost makes the sun look like the moon.

Morgan – The Athlete

I previously posted a few images of Morgan when I met her during out initial consult prior to the session – you can see them here.   Well, we had our session so I’m going to post more images.  I decided to split it into 2 posts – “Morgan the Athlete” and “Morgan the Model”.  Morgan is a beautiful yellow lab who exudes happiness and energy.  She loves to run as much as she loves her owners.  Here’s Morgan the athlete:

Dog days of summer and a lab named Morgan

Meet Morgan.  She is a beautiful, 3 year old yellow lab.  I went to meet her and her family to talk about our upcoming session and ended up taking a few images.  There will be many more after our “real” session.
