Rocky - Beach Sessions

I've been a little down lately and I think the cold temps are making me a little cabin fever-ish. I really despise cold weather and it's been way colder than normal here in Charlotte this winter. I mean, I used to live (and love) Phoenix and I'd take 120 degrees over 20 degrees ANY day! Ugh! Fortunately, Spring is just around the corner which means it's time for my annual Spring trip to the beaches of North Carolina. As I was putting this post together, I already felt better remembering and seeing the warm sand, the smell of the bursting flowers, and the welcome rays of sun shining down on my head. Spring is one of my absolute favorite times of the year - especially when I get to celebrate it with sand in between my toes.

That being said, I'm excited to announce the dates for my Spring trip to Emerald Isle, NC. I'll be there from March 19th-23rd and I'll be offering a handful of beach sessions (and Moving Pet Portraits). This is a great opportunity to capture your pups romping on the beach without having to pay for my travel expenses.

includes...

• 1-2 Hour Session for up to 2 dogs (from same household)
• 30 Fully-Edited High Resolution Digital Files w/Print Release

And because I'm sure you'd like to see what Spring looks like in Emerald Isle, here's a little peek from last year's session with Rocky...

Usually the fields of wildflowers are in full swing in March. They are magical and make for some of the most brilliant and spectacular images. I haven't found anything like them in the Charlotte area. So if you want this, you gotta have a beach session (it doesn't always have to be only beach images)! ;)

Of course, you gotta have some beach shots, right? After we photographed the in the flowers, we loaded Rocky up and headed to one of the largest beaches I've ever seen.And Rocky went crazy!!! The water is still pretty chilly in the Spring so he decided to steer clear of it.And he wore himself out pretty quickly. What a tough life...If you are interested in booking a beach session with your pup, please contact me right away. Booking will close several weeks before the session dates.

Rockford - Beach Session

Nothing perks up a Lab's eyes quite like an unforgettable trip to the beach. Sand, birds, waves, sunlight, wind, salty air - it's a magical combo that draws us to these lovely places. I honestly think dogs find the beach equally as compelling...especially when you add in a tennis ball and some off-leash fun.

Rockford had a wonderful time at Emerald Isle this past September. Rockford is typically the kinda guy that likes to lay around and watch the neighborhood kids run by. However, at the beach, he did a 180. There wasn't too much laying around - mostly go, go go!

Rockford was extremely interested in the little tennis ball that kept disappearing into the sand...Putting those big paws to use...After playing in the sand for a bit, it was time to move into the water! Rockford loved it!!!Rockford seriously looks like a puppy at the beach! You would never guess he is 7 years old!Time for more ball!This is one of my favorites from our evening together. This was taken after sunset and the colors of the ocean were simply beautiful.The end!

If you are interested in booking a beach session, I have availability at the beginning of May. Check out this post for more information.
