Sneak Peek: Cody & Harley

I've wanted to do a shoot at the river meadow at Lords Hill Park ever since I saw it from 522. I even went there to do a little location scouting this summer and brought Sammy dog along to see if it earned her paw stamp of approval (which it did ;-) ). So when I got a call asking to do a session with two adorable mutts, I jumped at the chance to go to the river meadow! Something I hadn't considered, however, was that it's winter. In Washington. And the creek that was barely a tiny trickle in summer was now a full on roaring creek that had turned the dips in the meadow into moats. Needless to say it was a little wet.

This, however, wasn't an issue for Cody....

happy Cody

And his partner in crime, Harley.

They went crazy exploring the tall grass and creeks! It turned it into a wild game of chase, into the grasses, into the creek, back into the grasses, around and around with Harley leading the way and Cody close on his tail. It was a hoot! I'm so glad they had fun, I know I sure did!

Speaking of their game of chase, if you ever want a challenge, try photographing two dogs running full speed through 4ft tall grass. I got a lot of pictures of grass and a black or tan tail! But every now and then they would hold still and the grass made for some really cool backgrounds!

For no other reason than he's adorable, Cody's dog lips:

I think this is Cody "talking" to me because I won't throw the tennis ball lol!

Cody & Harley's gallery will be up soon. I want to thank their mom Connie for giving me the opportunity to meet these two sweet boys!
