Wednesday

Surprise!


Barkley's mom Lorie mentioned in June or July that she'd like to get Barkley photographed as a surprise for her husband Andre. We chatted a bit and just left things as "one day soon".  Then a month or so later, Andre came in and mentioned he'd like to book a session for Barkley.  Yikes!  So Lorie and I decided we needed to move forward and as if on cue, Andre went away on business.  This was our chance.


So a few weeks ago, I met the handsome Barkley and Lorie down in Peenaquim Park for a session.  The light was gorgeous and the grasses had ripened to the same colour of Barkley's fur.  It was perfect timing.


Barkley loves to fetch.  Well actually, he loves to run around with something in his mouth.  And if you deprive him of his toy, he makes due with whatever he can find, namely giant rocks.


The only time he had a serious look on his face was when you were holding his toy. I think he was concerned for it's safety and whether or not he'd get it back.


When you gave it back to him, he got all goofy and relaxed again.


He never wanted to let go of the toy (or rock for that matter) and he was starting to learn all my tricks of getting back the ball.


Thankfully, he didn't seem to need us to throw it to have a good time, so we generally just let him have it.


He occasionally stopped running to strike a pose, and when he did, he did it well.


Thanks Barkley and Lorie for a great time. Andre I hope you enjoy your gift!
