I had so much fun with this whole family, hiking through the woods and then watching these sweet pups play around in the fields in a beautiful spot in Glastonbury. Lilly and Emmie are two gorgeous chocolate labrador retrievers that have the same mom and dad, and were born in litters one year apart (how fun is that?!?). They look so much alike that I had a hard time telling them apart in some of their images!
They were such good sports since our outdoor session ended up being on a really hot evening. We started with a short hike on a shaded trail to keep them out of the sun, and they did some cute posing on a giant rock and lots of running around with a stick!
They were getting so hot I thought we might have to cut our session short (the dog’s safety and comfort is always the most important thing) but once we left the trail and got out to the open fields, a beautiful breeze came through and the temperature dropped the perfect amount. We were all relieved, but Lilly and Emmie especially. With the sun setting and the breeze rolling through, they started to just run free and play around in the tall grasses and let their personalities shine.
Aren’t they both just so beautiful? They were sweet and playful and once the crazy temps cooled off, they really got to enjoy themselves and run free. Kara and Jeff chose this location because it’s somewhere they hike with the dogs often. I always think it’s wonderful to pick a location that is meaningful, and this is one of their favorite spots.
I think they may win my award for goofiest family photos this year. They all look so happy and were laughing the whole time. When I said, ok let’s do a couple family shots, they scooped up their dogs before I even had a chance to say anything else! It was so cute and silly and I love the results!
There were so many cute images of the two pups together, but this one takes the cake. It was right before we were able to head back to our cars, and they just sat down next to each other like this, unprompted. It was one of those amazing photographer moments where I was just yelling, “this is the money shot!”
This was such a fun session and we ended up with so many gorgeous images! Their parents ordered a beautiful album and several prints to remember our session and see their sweet pups in print every day. Check out a sneak peak of their album! Albums are one of my most popular client products and are wonderful for truly capturing the story of the day and enjoying a large variety of images.
Thank you Kara, Jeff, Lilly & Emmie for choosing me to be your dog photographer! It was so much fun to work with all of you!
