Dezi, Lucy, and Amber – Connecticut Pet Photography

by Robyn | Jul 10, 2014 | Dogs

This was a VERY exciting session for us, since we have never photographed an Alaskan Malamute before!  Well — that is, not a purebred Malamute!  Our dog Jamie is part Alaskan Malamute and part Border Collie (with a few little extra breeds mixed-in here and there!)  So, needless to say, it was such a treat to meet these THREE Malamutes, Dezi, Lucy and Amber!!

Dezi weighs-in at a whopping 120lbs, and Lucy around 95.  They are brother and sister from the same litter of pups.  When their mom first opened the door to let them out, all I saw was a HUGE white fluff-ball barreling towards me — my first thought was OMG!  HE’S GIGANTIC!  Next was, OMG — his face is precious!!!  Next came Lucy.  Not as gigantic as Dezi, but BIG nonetheless!!!  These two greeted us as if they were ready to get the party started!  So, we did!!!  And what a party!  We had a blast!

Then, just as we were about to pack up, we asked if Amber could come out for a few photos — Amber wasn’t originally scheduled to have her photos done, since she is a little scared around new people, and because she’s a little older and more frail than the other two, her mom thought it would be best not to subject her to all the activity.  Well — she came out surprised all of us!  She was not shy at all, AND she was bouncing around like a young pup!!  She was ready to PLAY!  I am so glad we were able to capture a few of Amber — she is, after all, 12 years old!!!  Can you believe it?  Look at her happy face!!

And, finally, one of all three….

Gidget – Connecticut Pet Photography

by Robyn | Jul 10, 2014 | Dogs

We first met Gidget at the Help Willy’s Friends Per Fair, this past Spring and I instantly fell in LOVE with her!  If she was a human, she’d probably be one of those “cool kids” who you always have tons of fun with — you know, the ones who crack you up…ALL THE TIME!  That’s how she was at our photo session.  We had SO much fun with her, and of course with her mom and dad too!  By the end of our session, we were BEAT! Gidget really wore us out…I think we slept for three days straight after that!!!  Haha!!   Funny thing is, we got a text from Gidget’s mom, not even 10 minutes after they all left the park — Gidget wore herself out too, and passed-out in the back seat of her mom and dad’s car on the way home!!!  We love when that happens!! 🙂

Here are just a few of our favorites….isn’t she just adorable??!!

Coco’s 3rd Birthday! – Connecticut Pet Photography

by Robyn | Jul 9, 2014 | Dogs

It is always fun to get an inquiry from a client that says, “I want to bring a birthday cake, and party stuff to our photography session!  And she will be wearing her necklace!”   The visions that ran through my mind were…OMG, I can’t WAIT for this session!  How fun!!!

We met Coco and her family down at Savin Rock in West Haven, on a warm beautiful evening!  She was as adorable as I had imagined, but surprisingly — smaller than I had thought!  She was just a tiny little girl!  We all hit it off right away, and Coco had a blast!!!  Here a just a few images of her special 3rd Birthday at the park…
