Two Winners ... One Family 

Fabio Casanova and Victoria Anne are two beautiful poodles owned by Dave & Lisa who entered them as individuals in the calendar contest and each dog won a spot!    

The plan was to do the sessions back to back and I selected Overlook Park because it's a location that offers different backdrops within a decent walking distance.   

It was obvious that it was going to rain at some point but I thought that if we moved right along we would be able to beat it.  Fabio and Victoria were completely with that plan - looking and posing exactly how we asked them to, and on the first few tries too.  We got great images pretty quickly then moved to the next spot. 

The first location (top photo) gave us that gorgeous light I love - with dramatic dark skies but enough light bouncing around to brighten up the dogs.  We worked with Victoria Anne then I couldn't resist adding Fabio for a few frames and shooting both dogs together.  Here's what the "before" photo looks like.  Just for fun I put the "after" version in a digital room setting - see photo at the bottom of the page - it's gorgeous!
