barkley’s snowy session ~ {Ontario pet photographer}

you met Barkley in his sneak peek a while ago, and then in an entry on post-production work.  now i can share a few highlights from his snowy shoot …

this was the Winter segment of Barkely’s Winter/Summer session.  as is often the case with our Winter/Summer sessions, the Winter segment is a shorter segment so that our Summer shoot is the big three-hour shoot on home-turf, incorporating multiple locations including the home.  so for his Winter, Barkley came here …

… and i think he rather enjoyed himself.  a little hunting …

… a lot of running …

… and, of course, a little, er …

with a former cruciate injury and repair, we made sure that the footing wasn’t slippery and that Barkley didn’t overdo it, but mom Deborah really wanted some shots of her exuberant, joyous boy running …

in the summer, well past his recovery period, we’ll be able to let Barkley let loose a lot more.

still, he let enough wind through those ears to clear ’em out.

of course, Deborah didn’t drive all the way here and not get a trip into the magical forest …

Barkley seemed to know exactly what i wanted from him once we got there … “oh, okay. right here? you want a little o’ this? how ’bout this?”

and as the snow came down faster and thicker, i was able to grab a few quick shots of Barkley with his mom.

thanks for a fun shoot, Barkley and Deborah.  i’m looking forward to our Summer session.  i hope you enjoy your gallery.
