When I meet dogs named Macaroon and Spreckles, I just know they’re going to be sweet! :)

I had the opportunity to photograph these two adorable dogs during a recent North Park pet photography session, and they were absolutely wonderful to work with! They’re both Lhasa apso mixes, and our afternoon was relaxed, low-key, and full of cookies… they’re definitely food-motivated, haha! Old man Macaroon is a sweet dog who prefers to live life in the slow lane these days, and that’s fine by me – he was constantly by my side if I had the treat bag in my hands, and incredibly patient too. Spreckles is a younger dog and he’s got quirks for days; this goofy pup is definitely a unique character! His favorite things are also cookies, and his “babies” (toys) around the house, but sometimes he just likes to hang out under the bed. Hey Spreckles, whatever floats your boat!

We started our photo session at their beautiful & colorful house in North Park, which (I’m convinced) has the biggest & best backyard in the whole neighborhood! So we relaxed on the back patio for a while…

Spreckles has the most incredible, soulful eyes… he may have a few silly personality quirks but he also seems to have moments of deep thoughtfulness, too. Such a fascinating subject to photograph!

And then we headed to a secret location in Balboa Park – shhh, I can’t tell you where! – and let the dogs shine in living color! Macaroon’s sweet old smile just gets me…

Cindy, I had such a great time with you & your dogs! Thank you for a lovely afternoon, and for taking us to my new favorite spot in Balboa Park, haha! Talk to you soon! :)
