Licks at Sunset by dogbreathphotography

This has been the Summer of sunsets. I’m telling ya, Ive seen more beauty painted across twilight skies over these past 3 months than I can ever remember seeing throughout the whole of my life. It’s been an amazing, amazing season. We’ve gotten the opportunity over here in Dog Breath land to meet, adventure with and love on more gorgeous dogs than I can count! I am so grateful for each and every moment that I was lucky enough to be able to spend under the Summer sun, running amuck and creating all kinds of perfect chaos with happy, bouncing four-leggers of all shapes and sizes by my side. As we wave goodbye to the purples and pinks of Summer – I’m looking forward to the golden oranges and fiery reds of Autumn. With a double booked Fall season coming right up, there are sure to be about a gazillion more absolutely stunning pups coming through your feeds and into your hearts. 🙂

This gorgeous, lick-happy girl right here is sweet Cassidy. Cassidy and her two perfect Pit Bull siblings absolutely rocked their recent session — one of my very favorite shoots of this past Summer! The colors in the sky that night almost brought me to my knees. As the sparkling colors of sunset danced in the air all around us, I couldn’t have been more overwhelmed with happiness, joy and gratitude. Cassidy splashed and played in that golden water in front of me as I held my camera to my eye – only pausing for this one moment to look right at me and lick her sweet little snout – as if to say ‘hey lady. less camera. more treats.’ 😛

Farewell to you, gorgeous Summer. Let’s meet again next year, same time, same place! 🙂

High Five! by dogbreathphotography

Boy oh boy does little miss Dazzle ever live up to her name!!

She is the sparkliest, twinkliest, most joyful ray of sunshine. She simply shines – radiating silliness and happiness outward in every direction as she wags her way across the world. Yes, I do think that Dazzle is the most fitting name possible for this girl and her glittering spirit.

This past weekend, we spent the most perfect sunshine afternoon together – Dazzle and I. The late July summer air was sweeping all around – rustling Dazzle’s fur gently as it would breeze past us. The city was bustling – full of life and love – people passing on every side – all enjoying this perfect fairytale Summer. The sailboats and windsurfers were out in full force on the Charles River and we sat on this dock to watch them a while as the hot sun spilled it’s yellow rays across the water and onto our shoulders. Dazzle was feeling quite silly and playful – and as we laughed and laughed until our stomachs hurt there on the dock, she would show off all her tricks with an impossible enthusiasm. Dazzle liked to reach in for my lens – coming closer and closer with every move – tongue out with an exuberance and comedy that made my sides hurt from giggling. This is my absolute favorite moment of the day – it’s Dazzle in a nutshell – her silliness and sweetness summarized in one perfect, tiny fraction of a second.

HIGH FIVE, DAZZLE! 🙂
