One of my rare morning shoots where my client Eva, was more than happy to wake up bright and early for an 8am shoot. Things got delayed a little due to a little location mis-communication, resulting in her taking a round trip to meet me.

When we finally met, I got to meet the three little poofy ones (hehe) but things got a little more dangerous. While we were walking towards our intended shoot site, a stray dog started trotting towards us. Fearing for the dog’s safety, we quickly walked away towards another location. Not five minutes later I spotted him still following us. It was then we decided to climb into her car and head off to the other end of the park where she was originally waiting.

I was glad for that little detour as although we did lose some of the glorious morning light, she has shown me a brilliant location for a morning shoot. A large field with a grassy hill overlooking a lake, makes for an awesome location especially since the morning light streams in from over the lake. But quite enough of that I’m sure you are here to see the shelties

Left to right Pongo, little Perdi and and Matriarch Pepper

We started out with some higher energy shots of them running and playing. Here is an instance of why you should look where you are running.. ouch?

Pongo and Perdi had an awesome time chasing their mom around

Pepper dosent really like to run around much and preferred to wander off to do her own thing. Here Perdi tries to instigate a chase, which failed…

Pepper really has a mind of her own when out there. Here you can see her ‘herding’ her lost flock

Portraits of Pongo and Perdi (wayy too many P’s in this post)

And of course the Matriarch, Pepper, gets the most attention. She just loved walking up and down the shoreline..

I loved the way her profile looked as she was looking across the lake..

And one last shot of the lovely independent girl
