Eli & Lily

It’s been three years in the making, but I finally got to meet corgis Eli and Lily! They are polar opposites – older brother Eli is a quiet, thoughtful boy who has the eyes of an old soul while Lily is energetic and outgoing. Her mom describes her as a tornado – always on the move!

As you can imagine, corgis pretty much can’t take a bad picture because everything about them is just ridiculously cute and bouncy…

Smokey & Pete

Mutts are the best! There are so many unique and beautiful mixes, and Smokey and Pete are no exception. Smokey, if you can believe it, is 14. He was adopted from Atlanta Pet Rescue (where my two perfect mutts are from!) and his “little” brother Pete is 8 now, a husky mix with gorgeous coloring.

They are two peas in a pod and love to tussle and run together like they’re still puppies. The rain parted just in time for our session, and they had a ball (no pun intended, ha!) at their favorite dog park in the cool sunshine. They had so much fun I think they barely even knew they were being photographed!

Sunshine

What better way to celebrate a 10-year Adopt-a-versary than with a photo session? Sunshine’s wonderful family rescued her when no one else would because of some behavioral issues, and they gave her the patience and love she needed. Now she is the most perfect family dog you could ever hope for. She’s an eternal couch potato who is very patient with her human siblings, whom she preceded, and loves to snuggle up with them on the couch for a good movie.

Would you believe that she used to be red with pricked ears? Instead of turning grey, she’s turned blond and white and her ears sometimes flop instead of standing straight now. If only humans could age this beautifully!
