We met Frieda & Stoney this week for a secret santa session. Stoney is a Yorkie. A very tall, 20 lb Yorkie, with papers to prove it. Don’t tell Stoney he’s a bit large for the breed. He will have none of it. He is a very animated and funny dog and doesn’t seem to be or act 9 1/2.
Frieda is a gorgeous hound mix. Found by a co-worker on the side of the road as a teeny puppy, Frieda’s human Paulette was asked if she might find Frieda a home. She did. And six years later Frieda is still at Paulette’s.
You never know how dogs are going to be during a photo session. The key, I think, is to let things work themselves out. While we always direct a session to optimize lighting and composition, we also always let the animals show us what makes them comfortable. For instance, Stoney was happy to perch on any piece of furniture. Frieda however, preferred the floor. And so it was.
We had such a nice time meeting these two and know their other human will be thrilled to receive such a thoughtful holiday gift.
