This was our second attempted session with the striking Samson. We tried once before in May. We started that shoot, got about 6 shutter clicks in, and the skies opened up. Not a quick thunderstorm mind you, a sound throttling that abruptly ended any thoughts of a session.
So we met up with Samson a second time. A beautiful evening this time and after a few minutes of getting reacquainted Sam decided he liked this photo stuff!

A happy dog with a ton of energy – true to the sporting breed… I think he thoroughly enjoyed himself as did we.

There’s a special place in my heart for all dogs, but the sporting breed, outside in a beautiful setting, is just too much fun.
This session is a surprise session for Sam’s human – a birthday gift. Sam holds a very special place in this man’s heart and has helped him heal through a personal tragedy. That, my friends, is why we love our dogs so…
So thanks to Sam for a great session. More importantly thanks for being such a wonderful companion..
