As a Boise pet photographer, I get to meet some awesome pets. This Sunday I got to hang out with Georgia and her awesome owners Meagan and Jason. Meagan and I use to work together at the YMCA back when I was in college. I even lived with her for a summer! Those were fun times. Fast-forward more years than I care to admit and I get to reconnect with her as I took these photos.

When Meagan first called me to see if I could take photos, she got my voicemail. She left me a message that made me want to cry! Any of you that are dog people understand that your dog becomes so much more than your pet, they are a part of your family, your child! So when you receive news like this it is really hard! Georgia recently had a bone biopsy done. they are pretty sure that she has cancer, and is most likely going to lose her leg. They wanted to have some photos taken of her so they could remember her as a happy healthy pup!

Like all dogs, sometimes Georgia needs to scratch!  :)

We also got some family shots in.  There is a reason the Boise Train Depot is such a popular place to take family photographs.  There is a lot of cool textures and backgrounds that one could use while shooting there.  

Although Georgia might not think so, Its not always all about her!  So, we got some shots of just Meagan and Jason too!  :)

See that Iron bridge in the background?  Georgia is sitting there waiting patiently for her parents to be done and for it to be her turn again!

She is such a good doggie.  Every time I do a pet photography shoot I will bring treats that are appropriate for that pet.  Georgia learned that very quickly and by the end of the shoot she was my new Best Friend!  She knew what pocket the treats were in and new that she would get one if I took a good picture!  Soon she started asking for them!  ;)

Meagan and Jason~ thanks for letting me take your photos and sharing with you during this difficult time!  after meeting Georgia I really believe that she is a fighter and a tough dog that will be happy to love you, or anyone else she sees, wether she is on 3 legs of 4!  She has a great personality and great parents!  :)

And now, to make you smile, I leave you with this series.  You have to love wet Georgia kisses!

For those of you who dont know…I LOVE my DOG!  his name is Edgar and he is a lab border collie mix.  He is our oldest son, and a very important member of your family.  Elijah, my two year old, would not know what to do with out him! Edgar is the “life of the Party” personality.  Though when new people are not around to try to entertain, he spends his days trying to take naps in between adventures with Elijah.  He loves to bark at squirrels and alerts us anytime anything is remotely near our land.  He is an over all great dog and very patient with Elijah!  I love my DOG!!!!!  so with out further adue…here is Edgar’s newest portrait.      

I grew up around animals.  All kinds.  From the tigers at Zoo Montana, to horses, to cats and dogs, to ferrets, I’ve seen them all.  I love them all too!  In fact, a lot of the people in my life, probably thought I would grow up to work with animals, either as a veterinarian or a zoologist.  Now, as a Boise pet photographer, I am working with animals!  I love to photograph pets, as well as their human friends.  I understand how important our pets are in our lives.  I could not imagine my house without Edgar (our Lab mix)!

Who does not love puppies?  This little girl was full of energy and fun to photograph!  When I arrived at the Young’s house, Roxy eagerly greeted me with kisses galore, and tried to get a ride on my shoulders!  I was in love, but how could you not be with this face looking at you?

Most of the time she was a great model, but sometimes she tried to hide in the grass.  :)

Roxy loves her treats!  Look at her tongue!

Then mommy turned on the hose!  Roxy had the time of her life!  :)  Awww…to be a puppy…

Thanks, Amy, for letting me spend some time with Roxy!  She really is a cutie.
