a bond

I have photographed lots of family pets during sessions and you can always feel the bond that the animal has with it's owners... but none compare to the bond that I captured between this little 3 yr old and her doggy. She (the dog) gave little "R" comfort when I first arrived and she was a bit shy of me... as you can see right here.

it didn't take too long to warm up. Here she is collapsed on the couch after just jumping on it!


by the end of the session she gave me a hug and kiss and I think I almost convinced her I was taking her home with me. She was so cute!
