Gracie’s dad contacted me about two weeks ago looking to do a sneaky session for her as a present *shhh* he did say it would be safe to put this up on the blog though Initially shy and a  little jumpy at the rolling thunder in the distance, she did relax much more towards to the end of the session.

We started the session trying to burn off some energy..

Then we moved to another location within the park once she settled down a little..

At this point some distant rolling thunder was spooking her quite badly so we decided to run to a location nearer to shelter where we could bolt if it started to rain. All the while her dad and my temporary assistant were helping to calm her down.

A little bit of the puppy dog eyes.. and a little cheeky..

It was towards the last few minutes of the session though that it all came together

Black dogs do look stunning in black and white no?
