I think every dog should be as lucky as Madison.

She’s a labrador/shepherd mix, living the good life with her parents in Pacific Beach, and she’s truly the light of her mother’s eyes. Madison and her mom, Summer, have an incredibly close relationship, since they’ve been together since Madison was just a tiny puppy. And they’ve been through a lot together – most recently, a hard-fought battle with cancer that’s still ongoing. But Maddie’s a tough dog, and she’s doing so well that I have no doubt we’ll be able to get together next year for an anniversary photo session!

In the meantime, we visited the studio and the beach for a great variety of photos, and Madison had a blast playing with us the whole time! Maddie is a funny dog – her personality is a fascinating mix of sweet and bossy! For example, she’s eager to please and is simply crazy about her mom… but if we took too long to throw the ball or deliver her treats, Maddie would start barking/talking to us! Her gentle but insistent “woof, woof, woof”s had me laughing for our entire session – such a sweetie, but so bossy at the same time! Haha! :)

Oh, Maddie. You’re adorable.

Maddie loves the beach – and so do her parents! We had a great time running up & down the sand!

Hold on…

wait for it…

one more photo…

of every dog’s dream…

SO MANY TENNIS BALLS!!!

Summer & Lou, thank you so much for a lovely afternoon with your girl! I’m looking forward to talking with you (and seeing you) again soon! :)
