Teddy, the Coronado Chow Mix Dog

Sunday, January 11th, 2015

Most of the dogs I work with look like… well, dogs. But I’m pretty sure that the chow mix dog I recently photographed is actually part teddy bear! :)

 

The aptly-named Teddy is an adorable chow mix dog, and even though she looks like a puppy, she’s actually 5 years old! Teddy’s mom rescued her a couple of years ago, and they live together on Coronado. She’s quick on her feet when she spots something interesting – you should have seen her sprinting along the beach after a low-flying bird! – but mostly, she doesn’t move too fast, since her pelvis was injured in an accident before she was adopted. I was so sad to hear that – but Teddy’s a tough dog! She doesn’t let a little limp get in her way! So we had a great afternoon session the other day, Teddy’s freshly-groomed fur blowing in the breeze, and she posed for photos like a total pro! :)

 

Here are just a few images from our photo session on Coronado Beach.

 

Do you see what I mean? She’s part teddy bear for sure!

What a fun session! Thanks for being such a cute subject, Teddy! :)

 

Photos of Colin, the Happy Mexican Rescue Dog

Tuesday, January 6th, 2015

Happy 2015! I’m so excited to be writing my first blog post of the new year, and I’m extra-glad that you’re here to see it! :)

Well, I’m happy to report that this year started off with a bang! I had an absolute blast during my session with Colin, a Mexican rescue dog that now lives very happily in San Diego. I know, I say that a lot – and every session is fun, so I’m not fibbing! – but seriously, I could not have possibly asked for a better session to kick off 2015! Colin is a very special dog, with a sweet puppy-like temperament, and the story of how his parents adopted him is absolutely wonderful. (Most people don’t adopt a dog before a major home renovation and an out-of-town vacation, but when the right dog comes along, the idea of “good timing” goes out the window!) I’ve really loved getting to know Colin & his family, and I couldn’t be more excited about our photos!

 

We started our session in the studio – and Colin’s parents brought peanut butter! Yum! haha :)

Then we headed to the park, where Colin posed like a pro! I couldn’t resist posting this photo, and I know his parents are excited about it too… these purple flowers were a last-minute surprise find – and I adore how they look with Colin’s warm coloring!

And then we hit the beach! Colin loooooooves playing in the water (especially with his toys)!
