Sunny…the unexpected diving dog!

I posted a photo of Sunny a few days ago and asked for people to guess his breed, it wasn’t easy! and unfortunately no one guessed his correct breed ( Shih Tzu) to win the contest for a free photoshoot.   Sunny was so much fun to photograph, he’s one cool little dog with a ton of personality and spunk…I have never met a Shih Tzu that was such a water dog.   I’ll start with some  inside shots of him and then get to the fun water shots.

All that swimming makes one dog tired! blog9

Did a quick mini session of Stitch and Meg, Stitch is the mascot of a new dog store called Eco Paws and an online store called Stitch and Company  These shots were both taken in the store… modeling on the cute stack of  dog beds they have for sale. 

Here’s Stitch

Dog Days of Summer

This summer seems to be the hottest I can remember so the best place to be is in the pool!   and the dogs tend to agree!

If anyone has a pool with a diving board ( hard to find these days) with a dog that likes to jump off it, please contact me… I have always wanted to capture that!
