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…

liznrambo
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.
StarKatz

Elana Bailey
Adorable capture, Nicole and I love this in mono too. Well done.
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
Nicole, many thanks for that. She is adorable. Cheers Elana.
Taylor Sawyer
