Turns out that it can be a pretty good life if you are a dog, certainly helps if your ‘parents’ love you to bits too

Max’s shoot was postponed about 3 times due to a combination of unpredictable weather and the extremely busy schedules of his parents who only could make it at specific times. On the day where it finally cleared up a little for us to shoot at the Botanical Gardens, it decided to rain about 1 hour into it cutting our time there a little short. Moving back to his house was not a bad idea though as there were many interesting locations about the house.

This is quite an image intensive post so click on to see them all.

I had a very fun photo shoot with Pebbie last weekend. This shoot has 2 firsts for me, its shot at a new location and its the first one with my ‘new’ (third hand =p ) 5D.  The park has nice open fields and the evening sun was quite cooperative for the most part. Pebbie was also quite the poser so long as theres either food or a secret weapon (more on that later) I hope that her parents enjoyed their time as much as I did photographing her.

When you have the trets anything is possible

And here is the secret weapon!She goes crazy for it

Cocker Spaniels have thier tails docked but hers was cut a little too much and well her butt literally wiggles since theres no stump to wag.. Not that I was staring at her handquaters…

After all that acitvity she finally showed some signs of tiring out

The nose Knows…

And finally the proper portraits. The 85/1.8 is simply stunning on a 5D. Am am itching to try out a 135/2 soon though

And the money shot (IMO) and personal fav of the session. It was a close tie between this and the Nose one.

Thanks for visiting. To Pebbie’s Parents: Hope you like the photos
