meet Bruiser …

just had to share a few images from a shoot the other evening of an extra sweet boy. oh yeah, he looks innocent enough, doesn’t he? just an absolutely, sweet, delicate chihuahua boy all tucked up in a lovely little nest of grass … soaking up the last rays of afternoon sun. what a lovely, demure, little dog … or not!

am i the only one thinking of that crazy squirrel from Ice Age?


i had a blast with this whacky, wild boy who was often struck with zany bursts of the zoomies as he tore up the field.

of course, running was the only thing Bruiser had on his mind. posing’s for sissy’s!

places to go. things to sniff.

thanks for a fun time, Sarah, Jeff and Bruiser. see you soon at your studio consult. i hope you enjoy Brusier’s gallery!

i love it when they get the zoomies!!! and you got great shots of high-speed pup (and those couple when he was forced to stop for a breath)
what a cutie
He may be little, but what a big personality and presence!!! The fifth one is my favorite, but all of these are great – what fun!
What a cute little dog, and that fifth one down is truly hysterical!! What a nut!
Who would think a chihuahua would be so very cool?!?! And you’re right about the Ice Age squirrel.
Bruiser is one action-packed guy!
I like the 4th one, where he’s smiling!
The 4th one is my favorite! Love the squinty eyes and his lovely smile. This guy knows how to enjoy outdoors. And, yes, he IS the Ice Age crazy squirrel. :>)
He is totally Scrat from Ice Age. I love it. LOVE IT! You need to shoot this little guy again with an oversized toy acorn. What a lovely coat on him as he runs!
What a character! We call it getting “Happy Feet!”
You must have been laughing quite a bit during this shoot!
Great shots!!! I love #’s 2&4. And yes their is a definite resemblance to that wild squirrel from Ice Age!
Well done, illona!
OMG he TOTALLY looks like the squirrel from Ice Age!! hahaha. these are great! love the first one the best.
Cute as a button! Sammy does the same thing, running around making turns like a quarter horse! Great sneak peaks! Thnx, Illona!
GREAT shots! I love the actions shots especially of the little guys (which are near and dear to MY heart). Thanks for the smiles (the chi’s and mine)!
He totally reminds me of Scrat from Ice Age! Lol! Those eyes are awesome! Love all the action shots.
Haha, yup, that’s him, the Ice Age squirrel
Awesome energy and enthusiasm, you captured him perfectly! What a great happy set!
What an absolute sweetheart! So full of life! Love the action shots – Bruiser’s exuberance is infectious.
