Here’s another one from the Workman Page a Day Gallery Calendar. We shot this at a dachshund meet-up at The Leesburg Canine Country Club.

We photographed Mercury in 2008 with his older sister Juno, who has passed away. Mercury and his humans have moved to Arizona but our memories of this wonderful shoot remain.
July 27, 2010. Thank you Mercury!
We had a spectacular late spring evening at the farm last night. And we slipped this in just under the wire! We were contacted several weeks ago about doing a session with Gromit and his boy Marcus. It was to be a surprise birthday gift for Marcus’ mom, Karla.
As luck would have it, it poured rain on our original date and we re-scheduled for last night – with nary any room to spare as today is Karla’s birthday!
This time the weather cooperated and so did Gromit!
Gromit is a 1 1/2 year old Corgi, chosen by Marcus, as a pup. He is a delightful dog and he introduced us to his equally delightful and polite boy, Marcus. They drove all the way from D.C. to create this special gift.
While it’s always rewarding to see the bond between humans and dogs, it’s particularly so between a boy and his dog.
It was a fun-filled evening filled with laughter and antics. This post has a few more images than usual since it’s all we’ll have ready for Karla’s birthday.
So, happy birthday Karla. We had a blast with your family!
To get images like this…..
…we saw a lot of this….
Well, it seems “the lady doth protest too much, methinks,” aptly fits my current state given my prior post. I complained, you see, about having to run on the treadmill due to our constant pummeling of snow this winter.
So, the God of Nature showed me – she dumped 30 inches of the white stuff upon me and now, alas, even the gym is closed. I believe I’ll stop complaining.
I ventured out this morning but conditions were so nasty and the snow so deep, I didn’t stay out long. Here are a few from inside my snow globe.

After shoveling all day, my husband made a tiny dent in our driveway. Niles and Lily were grateful.
Our barn session with Arleigh & Ophelia was a long time coming. This session was a gift last Christmas from Sally to her husband Corey. The original plan was to shoot in their lovely townhome where Arleigh, a 180 lb mastiff and Ophelia, a long-haired Scottish Fold, would be most comfortable.
But, as often happens, life got complicated. Corey, a consultant with the Navy, was sent back to Afghanistan. This time for 8 months. The couple also started renovations on their home.
So, we decided to wait until Corey returned and finally settled on a session in the barn since the house is still a work in progress. Arleigh’s large size rather limited our use of furniture. It’s hard to imagine that he was 6 pounds when he came home as a puppy. Ophelia, on the other hand, enjoyed various sofas and chairs. And since this was our first cat in the renovated barn we thought it fitting that a mouse scurried across the floor as Ophelia took her position under the lights.
With pet photography, it truly is always something. Thanks for finally coming out Arleigh and Ophelia!
