thought you’d like to meet this big boy …

and he’ll speak his mind if you steal his stick …

what you can’t tell about this good looking boy from these photos is just how bad he smelled during our shoot. yup, four minutes into our session, Derby found himself a ripe raccoon to perfume himself with … and like any young, handsome teenager, he clearly hasn’t yet learned the wisdom of a-little-goes-a-long-way when it comes to cologne, because this boy really lay it on thick.

and he seemed pretty proud of himself for it, too.
and no matter how much he ran …

he couldn’t outrun the stink.

justynaWhat a sweet boy – that last shot is precious!
Holly Garner-JacksonBeautiful shots of the stinkster! He looks so proud in that second shot. You are just missing the lab in the water shots!! Of course he might have been stinkier after that. I know it brings faded skunk smells back to the surface!
DarleneWhile all pics here are amazing, Illona, I really, really love that last one. A beautiful set of shots for the owner. (btw, whose bathroom is that clean? lol)
Jackiewhat a handsome boy, too bad he got so stinky!! love that first bathroom shot, the expression on his face is priceless.
torias i was reading the stink story, i was hoping you did the indoor session first. i bet the car ride home stunk!
Debgreat story and fun photos. what a big, happy, goofy boy. 🙂
wendyLOL! That is when you wish you were near a river or lake for a few swimming pictures.
Loriwhat a handsome, fun-looking guy! I don’t envy you or his humans when it comes to that Eau d’Dead Raccoon, however 🙂
JenniferLove that last shot on the bed….and I cannot believe you have a field with flowers AND changing leaves! Those shots are gorgeous!
MarlaWhat a gorgeous boy and I’ve always been fond of the name Derby (Flurry’s grandsire was named Derby, who also happens to be Boomer’s grandpa too).
Frank EatonLove that shot on the bed with the head tilt! He might have been stinky, but I bet he is a great snuggler.
JillWhat a face! He looks like he was quite the goofy hambone.
katelove his expression in the last shot. what a fun and photogenic guy. like your name, too, derby.
