When Cooper appeared in his parents’ life, they weren’t looking for a dog…

Cooper was a gift from his parents’ son (so I guess that makes Cooper his “brother”?), and although he was a surprise addition to their family, it only took a few days before Cooper had completely stolen their hearts! This puppy is now several years old, and has always loved playing fetch and running around in the park – so that’s exactly how we began our photo session! Cooper could probably chase his ball for hours, and I couldn’t help but laugh as he sprinted joyfully across the grass. He has such a sweet personality & goofy smile!

Cooper is not just an adorable San Diego goldendoodle – he’s also a therapy dog! He visits schools and hospitals several times a week! What a perfect job for this happy boy; I know he’d bring a HUGE smile to my face. I’m so glad he’s out there brightening people’s lives…  he has certainly brought a light to his family, and I absolutely loved working with this handsome pup.

Cooper runs FAST! I love the way his soft, fluffy fur whooshes in the wind!

He’s such a sweet boy.

And then we headed back to Cooper’s house to take a few photos in his favorite spots… he waits at the top of the stairs for Dad to come home every day! Who wouldn’t love coming home to this face?!

Joe & Carol, thank you for introducing me to your happy boy! I’m looking forward to showing you the rest of our images soon!
