Hadley Jo

Hadley Jo is a Cavapoo! I have to admit- that was a new one on me. She’s a mix between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a poodle (OK- you probably could have guessed the poodle part!). 

Super cute, right?  

Hadley Jo is named after her mother’s husband, Joe, who passed away less than a year ago. She said she would never have gotten out of bed if it hadn’t been for Hadley Jo. She said that she and Joe picked out Hadley on the internet before he died. But he passed away before they could pick her up. So, she reluctantly went to see her with a friend.  She said she would only take Hadley home if the puppy kissed her on the lips right away. Well, I guess you know what happened then- and Hadley Jo is now one of the more loved dogs on the planet:)

This is her Christmas picture!

 She has great fur- really soft and silky. So.. with a breezy day, we got some really cute shots of her hair blowing around!

  

She was a really spunky little thing… but we tired her out by the end of the shoot!

 

A seriously cute dog, right? And I know when she went home, she was ready for a long nap!

Sadie and Star

Ok- crazy times right now!! I photographed these gorgeous labs last week and am just now getting to show them to you!! But hope it’s worth the wait….  

Star and Sadie are 11 year old black labs. They live on a farm and so we had a lot of great backdrops! Sadie and Star’s owner restores old gas tanks- so here they are posing with a few of them.

Sadie is a little more active than Star. And she has the most incredible eyes- I mean.. check these babies out! They are such  a deep amber- love it.

I did a high-contrast black and white with Sadie and I think she looks incredible.  She has some really intense expressions. 

 

 She’s just a really gorgeous dog. Although- she did spend most of the photo shoot scooting across the grass to scratch her rear. It’s always the most attractive models that are the most difficult, right?

Star is also a doll. She doesn’t have those intense eyes- she just has that really sweet lab look. Very lovable! Oh- and she has very selective hearing loss. She can’t hear a word unless the word happens to be “treat”. :)

I saved my favorite for last. I don’t know if I’ll ever have a chance to get this shot again. These longhorns just strolled over to check us out and turned out making the portrait! The funniest thing about this picture is the “behind the scenes”.. because we had Erin jumping up and down and screaming and  waving her arms behind me and her husband was beside me with a squeaker and I was barking and making puppy noises. It looked a little like a scene from the loony bin… but it all worked out in the end!   But I kind of think Sadie has that expression that says ” you do know you are all insane, right?”

So…. had big fun on the farm!! Now…. back to work on those Holiday orders!!!!
