I had so much fun at my photo session with Bailey, the San Diego rottweiler – and I think I can tell you exactly why! First of all, you know I have a soft spot for dogs named Bailey. (If it’s your first time here, you probably already guessed it; my dog’s name is Bailey!) Secondly, we discovered that I have an uncanny number of things in common with his parents – like living in Pensacola, for example! And thirdly – and most importantly – Bailey is a gorgeous & fun-loving dog who was an absolute blast to work with! He’s seven years old and a total sweetheart; rottweilers are one of my favorite breeds and Bailey is an absolute poster-dog for this friendly, goofy breed of dog.

Unfortunately, though, Bailey was recently diagnosed with lymphoma… so he’s currently going through chemotherapy treatments and has lost a bit of weight. But despite his current situation, he & his parents are wonderfully optimistic about the future! And honestly, if you met him, you’d never guess that he was going through such a terrible situation – he’s just so happy! All the time! I love dogs like Bailey, and I love that I was able to photograph him when he was feeling great at two lovely locations around San Diego. So I’m definitely excited to show you this sneak peek!

Look at that handsome face. Just gorgeous.

Our sunset was simply incredible… and I think Bailey shows it off pretty well! :)

Oh goodness, I just love this photo… Bailey is surrounded by his family. Surrounded by warmth. Surrounded by love.

Laura & Jared, thanks for a fantastic session (and for braving the muddy reeds with me)! I can’t wait to see you both again soon! :)
