bailey :: grass-eater :: heart-stealer

This seems to be the summer of Golden Retrievers! Lots of recent clients have and love them, which is good for me…. they’re gorgeous, have great personalities, and make for wonderful models! Bailey and her parents met me at their favorite park in Richfield, and we went for a nice photo walk. At 12, Bailey doesn’t walk quite as far or as quickly as she once did, but she enjoys it just the same. She loves to eat grass (so does Gracie!) and she’s just a big sweetheart. Thanks for a great session, Bailey!

annie :: minneapolis pet photography

Sweet little Annie “works” at Pet Crossing Animal Hospital and Dental Clinic, and her dad (who’s a vet there) just graduated law school! As a surprise gift for him, Dr. Kate snuck her out for a photo session…. and really, what better gift could there be?  ;)

Annie is a 10 year old rescue, and while no one is sure exactly what she is, she’s lovingly referred to as a “White Footed Razorback Terrier.” She’s inherently shy when she’s the center of attention, but absolutely loves people. We got some pretty funny expressions (and looks of sheer terror) while she was alone on the background paper, as well as some really sweet ones that her dad is going to love!

I highly recommend looking into getting dental care for your dogs (and cats!) Dr. Kate is super passionate about oral health and gave an eye-opening talk at one of my networking meetings. Regular dental care improves quality of life as well as increasing length of life. Pet Crossing is one of the most experienced and technically advanced hospitals for dental services in the Midwest, and unlike most veterinary hospitals, they encourage you to observe, in the room, while your pet undergoes cleanings, extractions, surgeries and more. It’s a pretty cool place!

hailey :: wheaten terrier :: cutie pants

I got to try out yet another fabulous color with Hailey the other day! This green/yellow goodness is yummy like key lime pie and split pea soup. Or something else this color that sounds better than split pea soup……

Wheatens are famously cute and soft and bouncy and Hailey was no exception. She was a great model, and we got some gorgeous images!

coen :: 1 year :: baby photo package

Little Coen has turned the big “oh-one” and his parents couldn’t be more proud of him! I’ve had the honor of being Coen’s photographer during his first week of life, when he was 6 months, and again a couple weeks ago. He wasn’t the happiest little boy during our latest session, so we’re going to give him another chance to shine. I mean, come on….. who doesn’t like ice cream?? In the meantime, here’s my faves from our session……and yes, the ice cream really landed like that when he threw it down  :)
