Puppy Kisses

this is my adorable son and our dog – the two of them have such a lovely bond it is really sweet to see and i think this captured it really well, but i can see why they say working with animals and children is not always the easiest thing to do…

    This is something like what I have seen my own kids do, you must have verrrrry patient to capture such a crystal clear shot. I love the simple tone, the highlights in your sons hair and also the dogs coat. It is poster material.

    Adorable capture, Nicole and I love this in mono too. Well done.

  • Elana Bailey

    Elana Bailey

    P.S. What breed of dog is your puppy, pls?

  • Nicole Goggins replied

    she is a moodle (maltese x poodle), she has many looks depending on how the groomer styles her hair ;-) v. cute (a little bit naughty) but great breed for a family because she doesn’t malt/shed hair or smell and she is small enough she can come in the car with us most places…

  • Elana Bailey

    Elana Bailey

    Nicole, many thanks for that. She is adorable. Cheers Elana.
