Louie the Pug + Arthur the Boxer Mix | Beverly Hills Pet Photographer
The best gifts are the ones that are unique and that you would never think of getting for yourself. Ashley, was blessed with a pet photo session for her birthday from her big brother, and we had a blast photographing her two pups, Louie the pug, and Arthur the Boxer mix.
Louie was rescued at 2 years from a shelter in Georgia, and despite his innocent looking face, has gotten into more mischief than you can think of! With one example being where his food obsession led him to opening up all the Christmas presents one year (the family was not happy about that!). When he’s not getting into trouble, he spends most of the time sitting on the couch, sleeping or asking for cuddles.
Arthur is a super sweet Boxer/Pit mix, who was adopted as a puppy from a rescue in Chicago. Given his adorable perpetual puppy face, it’s no surprise that Ashley and Brad fell in love with him and had to bring him home. As you can probably tell by looking at his face, he’s on the more submissive side, but once it was “play with sticks” time, his “Jekyll” side emerged, given all his funny faces in the images, haha.
(Fun fact from this shoot: one person went through three outfit changes. It wasn’t me or Ashley 😂)
Thanks Ashley and Brad for such a fun shoot! Hope you guys had as much fun as I did!
Lilee the Pug | Michigan Dog Photographer
Lilee is a 14 year old pug, who was diagnosed with a central nervous system disorder that has left her with a permanent head tilt, and serious disorientation. Despite going to numerous vet appointments and putting her on a long series of antibiotics (they thought it might’ve been an ear infection), they were unable to ever fully resolve the issue. Based on a recent update from her owner, Katie, this past January, Lilee is now off the antibiotics. She’s doing okay but doesn’t have much balance or energy left, which makes me incredibly sad to hear.
As I write this blog entry, I’m so thankful we were able to create some beautiful images of Lilee with her incredibly patient and loving hoo-mans during the time we did. Despite her medical issue, I could still feel and see Lilee’s curious and spunky self shine through. When Katie was booking her session with me, one of her family members asked her if she was sure she wanted to get photos of Lilee in her current state. She responded that she still wanted photos of Lilee no matter what– because she wanted memories of Lilee and how she made her feel, and to document the fact that they’ve shared a wonderful 14 years together.
All I have to say is you can definitely feel the love and bond in each and everyone of these images. ❤️
