1) Amazing Lizzy shows that small dogs know tricks too! After waiting for the sun we got this beautiful golden hour in the heather.

2) Those beautiful blue eyes. This was my first outdoor cat photoshoot with sweet Sylveon!

3) My own dog Loki! I learned most of my photography skills with him as my model. Very grateful to have him by my side!

4) Beautiful Phil in the heather! The sun was absolutely magical during this day!

5) A little moment of sweet Lizzy putting her head on the ground!

6) This is handsome Koda. It was actually a cloudy day, but at the end of this photoshoot, the sun appeared for just two or three minutes, creating this beautiful orange glow. That moment resulted in this picture!

7) This is Border Collie puppy Spike in the fallen leaves at the beginning of spring. Captured in the brief moment when she decided to rest her head on the ground.
