Rio was a sweet little terrier mix that had lots of energy yet was quite intrigued with my freeze dried liver treats and camera lenses. These two lovely sisters are surprising their mom for Mothers’ Day. I can’t think of a better way to say I love you than to give the gift of portraiture.

She was one of the easiest dogs I have come across to photograph in a long time. She responded well to me and I think we connected. Treats didn’t hurt and all the high pitched noises I make kept her looking at me. Not sure the neighbors knew what was happening though!

Thank you ladies for this afternoon! It was fun.
