I was so thrilled to hear that The Spotted Dog was opening its doors in Pensacola last month! This city is certainly overdue for a dog boutique. The Spotted Dog is co-owned by Sandy and Ashley, a fabulous mom-and-daughter duo, and I can’t tell you how incredible their shop is! For being brand new, they certainly seem to know exactly what all kinds of people want – whether it’s rugged leather collars for your mastiff or cute spring dresses for your schnoodle… Okay, I know I sound like a commercial by now, but seriously. This boutique rocks my socks off.

Even better: Sandy and Ashley let me photograph their dogs! So we spent a bit of time in the studio, and a bit of time back at the shop. Ashley (the daughter) has Bentley the dark brown pit bull, and Bunny, the white-as-a-ghost inspiration for the name “The Spotted Dog”! Can you see her spots? Sandy (the mom) owns Lana the playful pit bull and Tiger, the old shepherd.

Here are a few of their images!

A somewhat silly family portrait!

Lana actually has completely normal ears. But she wanted to look extra cute for her pictures, so they went flying!

Las but not least – a goofy outtake from our session! There were a few good caption ideas for this photo on Facebook!

Leave a comment on this post if you’ve got a funny caption!

I also wanted to include a short video I made for them, featuring their product offerings. Don’t they have a beautiful store?

So there you have it – a new part of Pensacola that I’m personally very excited about. You should definitely stop in sometime soon!
