I wanted to get some portraits of the dogs while it is still nice and green around the cabin.  It won’t be long before the leaves start to turn up there.  The ferns are already starting to turn brown.

Thunder was up first.  He was  bit distracted by some people driving by on atv’s.  That worked to my favor because I got his ears to perk up.  Cookies weren’t doing it this time.

Next up was Freighter.  I did not trust him off lead because of the atv’s.  He was busy waiting for them to drive by when he heard shooting from the other side of the river.  I don’t think the people were hunting, just doing some target practice.  I used the sound of the shots to my advantage to get Freighter to pay attention.

Last up was Storm who loves to have her picture taken.  Not really.  Storm hates to sit for pictures.  This day was no exception, but I managed to get a few that I liked.  She is on lead too because the vet drummed into our heads that she was not to go out off lead until today.

  1. PAWsome Summer Portraits. Golden LOVE all of them particularly the close-up photos. Hope they got some tasty treats after the shot. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar

  2. Beautiful photos! My sister doesn’t like photos either, unlike me who loves the camera. Storm looks to be turning grey on her eyebrows and muzzle…do you suppose it was the puppies that caused that:) Humans always tell their kids that they make their hair turn grey? She looks beautiful, though! I bet she will be happy to be able to be off leash once again!

  3. I love how their different personalities shine through. Storm’s especially. In that respect she reminds me of Sampson, when he’s done he just puts his head down.

    Great photos!!

  4. I absolutely love love love all of your dogs! They are so beautiful! Thanks for sharing these awesome photographs! Give them all a great big hug from us at Nikitaland!

  5. How lucky for you that twice you had a distraction work in your favor. If only distractions ALWAYS worked in our favor, right? 🙂

    Leah is just like Storm. She hates hates HATES the camera, often leaving the room if she hears the velcro opening on the camera case. 🙂

  6. The head shots are magnificent! I’m so glad to see their faces in detail. From the full set of pictures, one can really start to see the minor differences that make each dog unique. Previously the brown dogs all look similar to my untrained eyes when they are running up and down the fields when birds in their mouths 😀 *sorry!*

  7. Love the close-up pictures! Storm’s first picture definitely shows her disinterest in the whole picture taking process. 🙂

  8. All beautiful photos. Of course, you have such great subjects to work with! I cannot believe Fall is almost here….we might get a frost here tonite! I love Fall, but I’m not quite ready for that yet!

  9. You got fabulous shots of them all. They are just such beautiful dogs with lovely coats. I love their eyes and their colors. You are a great photographer my friend. Hugs and nose kisses
