in spite of a busy weekend, i couldn’t leave you all without a dose of cute …
this is the razor-toothed puppy i had the pleasure of meeting yesterday for her Starter session … along with her boy, Marty.
they had a blast on the beach …
and i had a blast with Saffy. of course, i’m a little partial to pointers and hunting breeds, and who doesn’t love a puppy?
… and this is what i got whenever i used my insanely obnoxious, high-pitched, but-oh-so-effective “puppy, puppy, puppy!!” cry …
yeah, she’s pretty special. and you’ll see more of her much later. Saffy was a “squeeze-in” session … shot to take advantage of the lovely weather and colours while they last, but with the back-log of post-production work here at scruffy dog, the final images won’t be ready for some time yet. so for now, this is all you get. enjoy!

The expressions in the first and last photographs are priceless! Love these!
She’s gorgeous. I love her blue collar and shimmery dark coat against the blue waters and muted beach tones. And the b&w shot is just stunning.
fantastic!~ I don’t think I have ever seen a liver colored GSP! Very nicely done and looks like the pup and her boy had a wonderful time!
That second shot is just stunning. LOVE LOVE LOVE.
These are fabulous!! I love them all but that one with her boy is super!
OMG, I LOVE these shots! The black and white one, especially, blows me away… and of course the action shot…!
that 2nd shot needs to be a big canvas! Great work Illona!
Beautiful pup, lovely shots as ever!
OOoo another Saffy!
She is lovely lovely, and beautiful photos 
Illona that b&w shot of the boy with his puppy is amazing! I would be thrilled if I was his parent!
WOW!!! These are awesome. I especially love the B&W! A boy and his puppy!!!! They are going to have an amazing time growing up together and I can see you doing a couple of shoots over the next few years to document their lives together! So cool!
thanks so much, everyone. yes, i definitely look forward to shooting this girl and her boy again in the future, as they grow up together.
What a heart warming set. I’m particularly drawn to the b&w of the young boy and his puppy. That will be treasured for many years to come as will the others but that one really conveys both their puppiness

Another of my favorite posts! The black and white photo of the boy and the dog is beautiful – you captured their bond beautifully. Can’t wait to see new photos of these two in the coming years.
Hi Illona, since you have been here to see my place a couple of times and I display your cards and have your link on my blog, I thought perhaps you could put The Lavish Lair link on your blog as well.
Thanks and have a great day, Ursula
