the newly remodeled kitchen offered great light and colours, and fortunately Whiskers and Layla have no boundaries.

and they were rather patient for their closeups …

“patient” being a relative term, of course.

all in all though, these girls were very comfortable with the camera.

ryder loves snow

meet Ryder …

ryder-3081

… handsome, seven-month-old sheltie boy who loves the snow … and loves his mom.

ryder-641

we had an early morning shoot, and in spite of the sun’s spectacular display on my drive over to Ryder’s home, it refused to make even a hint of an encore during our shoot.

ryder-3831

still, the diffused light of winter can make for some pretty wonderful shooting opportunities.  and Ryder hardly cared about the disappearance of the sun.  he just wanted to run.

ryder-2641

… and sniff …

ryder-1951

… and run some more.

although he could be a bit of a poser too.

ryder-2101

but sometimes not.  pups do tend to have a shorter attention span.

this little guy has a wonderful future ahead of him, with a devoted mom who has a good handle on herding breeds and knows just what this active boy needs to keep his drive answered.
