the eight-pack: part I ~ {Elora, Ontario pet photographer}

it was a gorgeous fall day when i met the eight-pack that owns Geoff and Joanne in Elora. when Geoff first called me, his intent was to have Luna — their wheelchair-bound greyhound — and possibly Mary the golden as the subjects for our shoot.  but when i discovered that all eight dogs were rescues, i promised him we’d include all the dogs in our shoot.

so, although it was a long afternoon, it was an absolute pleasure to meet and work with all these guys.  and although we were restricted to their backyard, it’s a big backyard.

because i feel each dog deserves their own blog entry, i’m going to spread these guys out across three entries.  first up, we have Sparks …

he was such a joy to work with … a real poser.

and of course, no border collie shoot would be complete without a ball …

thanks, Sparks, for being such a cool model.

and then there’s Mary … your typical easy-going golden …

Mary’s got an infectious smile …

i just loved Mary’s colour with the tones of the front porch …

and, well, it worked quite well in the stables as well.

you can’t really go wrong with a golden, can you?

stay tuned for the rest of this interesting pack tomorrow.
