I had the pleasure of visiting a few wonderful animals for a special San Clemente pet photography session recently! Their names are Constance, Olive and Rover – and guess what, Rover is the cat! Haha!

I met Constance and Olive during last year’s November mini-sessions, and I was downright thrilled to see them again! They’re adorable yellow labs, ridiculously good-natured and so much fun to work with. Constance is the elder sister of the two, much calmer and even-keeled, and simply happy to be with her family as much as possible. She made me work to perk up her ears, but it was worth the effort – she’s a beautiful dog! Olive, on the other hand, is a super-energetic puppy who simply does NOT calm down when she wants to play, haha! I actually really loved seeing her persistent spirit come to life; she never lost faith that we would all want to play with her tug toy on her 15th trip around the living room, haha! Don’t you love how stubbornly optimistic dogs can be? And last but not least, I got to meet Rover this time! He’s a handsome cat who turned out to be quite the ham for my camera… he puts up with his canine sisters, but I could tell that he was loving the spotlight, haha! All together, they make a diverse bunch of lovable animals – I couldn’t get enough of working with them, and having a new & different town to explore during our session was simply icing on the cake!

This is Rover… see what I told you? A total ham!

This is Constance, out at one of the many local parks around San Clemente…

… and this adorable face belongs to Olive! Despite all her energy, she was quite treat-motivated, which definitely helped me capture her in pretty spots like this!

Okay, one outtake for you… apparently Olive got impatient waiting for me at certain times! She’s so silly!

Vince & Jen, thank you for such a lovely afternoon with all your pets! I’m excited to see you both again soon! :)
