Michelle is one of the wonderful women that I’ve met through HeavenSent Bulldog Rescue. Her dedication to the rescue is remarkable. She’s constantly taking in fosters to house them until they find their forever home. One of the pups in this session, Winston, is a foster and you can tell that she loves him as if he were her own. I had a blast running around the backyard with these five, though the Sesame Street song “One of these things is not like the other…” constantly ran through my head. You’ll see what I mean.

Love me some bully back rolls…

One of my faves… Winston waiting patiently to come inside…

  • Nancy - The lab looks just like my Sammy! I love it!

  • Nick - I am always amazed at the energy of those who can foster so many and so often! And with so many bullies I can see why you had that song stuck.

  • Sarah - the Winston picture is one of my all time favs of yours
    its awesome.

  • Jennie - this is the photography equivalent to a slam dunk

This little guy is beyond cute and  is one of my favorite stages to work with… sitting up on his own but not yet mobile enough to run away from the camera!

Seriously funny expression. Clearly he’s not a big fan of grass….

Here is Butler’s birthday shoot! Butler is a powderpuff chinese crested, though he looks completely different from the chinese crested that won “world’s ugliest dog” last year. It’s interesting how two varieties of the same breed of dog can look so different. Butler is a spunky ball of fluff. I love when you can tell that a dog is happy just by looking at him. Jen is quite smitten with him too, and it’s not hard to see why…

You can see Butler’s slideshow by clicking HERE!

Butler was so well-behaved. He made my job easy…

F-A-V-E!

We all know that I love dog tails… Love this. I like how the texture of his little puff tail is different from the rest of his wavy hair…

And something processed just a little different…

Meet Sam. He’s a sweet and energetic yellow lab mix. And though he’s eight years old, he doesn’t seem to have grown out of his puppy stage. Maybe that’s the lab in him…

Or maybe it’s the fact that he gets to live with four kids! Meet Sam’s family. They’re cute kids… take my word on it…

See? I told you…

And, there’s only one thing I have to say about this…..

HOT!!!
