dogs will be dogs {arlington, va}

Nanci never set out to own three dogs; but now, I don’t think she could have it any other way. She is the kind of caring person that people reach out to with their unwanted dogs. Lucky for Harry, Bandit, and Brandy, she is the kind of caring person that reaches back to help. Of course, these pooches give Nanci lots of love with plenty of slobbery kisses to prove it.

I adore photographing pets, as it is always an adventure! While this canine crew may look peaceful, in some of these photographs, I can assure you they barely stood still, for more than a second, at a time. They had me running in circles, as their sensitive ears, noses, and eyes told them there was always something to check out… through the window, in the backyard, or even the already familiar (i.e. each others’ bottoms). Of course, by the end of the photo session, Harry, Bandit, Brandy and I were all quite smitten with each other.

Please, enjoy this little slide show.

Now Nanci, don’t forget to coerce all of your friends, co-workers and even strangers to leave their comments. We’ve got a long way to go to the finish line of our Cans for Comments contest that could win you an 8×10, and has me delivering canned goods to the food bank.
