Max the Yellow Lab | Southington CT Dog Portraits
Since the autumn season is almost upon us, I wanted to share some of my awesome sessions from last fall to give you some ideas and inspiration for your own fall sessions! This was one of my favorites from last year, with the sweetest model and gorgeous fall colors. I only book a limited number of sessions each month and autumn is my busiest time of the year, so if you’re interested in scheduling something while the leaves are beautiful, reach out today!
This yellow lab is sweet Max, and he was an absolute joy to spend the afternoon with! We played fetch, he went swimming (but we both got wet, of course!) and he posed like a total pro. His dad is a professional dog trainer so naturally he was an awesome model.
We did some fun action photos of Max playing fetch, and I love to do these running action series because they make amazing album spreads. The middle one also ended up becoming a part of the wall collection chosen by Max’s parents.
A perfect dichotomy of goofy and sweet :)
We had our session at YMCA Camp Sloper in Southington, CT, because that’s where Max and his dad hike often. There’s a trail that circles the whole lake and lots of cute places to stop and take interesting photos. I especially love a doggo on a slide.
We ended our session around sunset by letting Max just play and have fun in the lake.
Max swam and played around with a stick for a while, but like any lab he made sure to break for some treats (of course)! So I used that chance to capture these absolutely adorable wide angle images of his sweet and goofy face.
Another favorite action series is the shake series, which is always funniest when dogs are still in the water and we can capture some awesome water spray images.
It was such a beautiful location with the fall colors and the lake. Max had a blast playing around and I was in photographer’s heaven!
All the hiking, running and swimming tired Max out and he was done looking at the camera at this point, even though we were trying to capture one final adorable image. Here he’s looking lovingly at his dad, which is also so sweet!
Thank you Jon and Dawn for trusting me to capture these memories of your very special boy. You were all a joy to work with and Max is the absolute sweetest pup!
Artwork
Max’s parents chose this beautiful wall collection of gallery wrapped canvases. Each gallery wrap is custom designed and hand constructed in America with a wooden frame and UV coating.
They also ordered a stunning signature book to accompany their wall collection and remember all the sweet memories and details about their special pup. Check out the video to see me flip through their album!
