Last Saturday we had a roll on the floor with a fab family of three. Three dogs that is, there were two humans involved too, but they pretty much kept to the furniture and left the rolling to us.


Allie, of course, stole my heart immediately when I arrived – her soulful Dane eyes, pawing gestures, lovey snuggles and hilarious poses were all very reminiscent of my girl Olivia. She spent a great deal of time cuddling dad or sitting/standing like a human.

Opie seems to be a mini version of Allie, and although his whole body is about the size of her head – they look somehow, distantly related. Like perhaps he is the offspring of her weird cousin. In a way, I guess he kind of is!?

Charley, the oldest child, was quiet and calm. Eager for treats he perked right up at the word, but mostly just watched the other two perform: Just as an older brother should behave.

By far the most charming bit of the whole morning was watching (and documenting) Opie and Allie cuddling up together, cheek to cheek, for some snoozing in mom’s lap. Just ridiculous. Insert exaggerated “awwwwwww” here


Although we happened to have our shoot on a typical rainy Seattle day, turns out we didn’t have to leave the living room to sneak some wonderful “day in the life of” portraits.
Bonus! This image of Allie will be appearing as a full-page photo in the Spring issue of CityDog Magazine, congrats pretty girl!
