Blaze – Dog Portraits

(If you recognize Blaze, shhhhhhh, keep it a secret! His dad will see these for the first time on Christmas!)

Blaze had a rough start to life. He was abandoned on the side of the road and was left cold and confused. Luckily, his current family’s dentist found him and passed him along to the wonderful home he has now. Blaze quickly worked his way to the “top dog” position in his dad’s heart and is perfectly content as his dad’s favorite.

Knowing this background made it so easy for me to understand why Blaze’s human brothers wanted to surprise their dad with the gift of photography. They were the lucky winners of a pet portrait session donated for a silent auction at a recent charity event. At 17 years old, Blaze’s human brothers handled setting up the shoot and were completely responsible for making it happen. They were great to work with and Blaze wasn’t too bad either! Haha! I mean, look at how cute he is!

I was so happy the sun was out during our session. Lately it’s been playing hide-and-go-seek with me.  What a handsome boy… His tongue looks like a heart <3! These are for Blaze’s dad (a huge Auburn fan)! I normally don’t pose my doggy models as much as I did with Blaze…he was just so good at it! After all his sitting and staying, Blaze cut loose, got to run, catch his favorite tennis ball, and even went on a quick swim in Lake Norman. Hehehehe…

Merry Christmas to Blaze’s dad! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
