Grahm + Foxy

The Spring rush is underway and I couldn’t think of a better way to start it than with Grahm and Foxy’s session. Unfortunately, the cold weather that has been lingering hasn’t helped with the green grass or new foliage. Regardless, with some pretty sunlight and a couple gorgeous pups, we can make it work!!! I’m just loving this session…

Grahm, the Boxer, and Foxy, a Border Terrier/Chihuahua mix, are brother and sister. They make the funniest pair! Like most siblings, they don’t always care for each other’s presence but this image says otherwise. ;)
Grahm is such a cutie patootie! Look at that precious face! At the same time, he doesn’t mess around if there is a ball flying!
“What do you mean you aren’t going to throw it anymore?!?”
And then there is Foxy. OMG! This girl cracks me up! I even told her mom that Foxy was so ugly, she was cute. When I write it down, it doesn’t sound like a compliment but that’s what I meant for it to be! I mean, look at her! Her wiry fur, the ear that folds back, the underbite…it’s too awesome for words! Love it all!!!
And then there’s this! She falls asleep as soon as she get scooped into her mom’s arms. OMG!
As we explored the park, we came across an awesome old truck. It was a little creepy with too many spider webs for my liking but you have to take a risk for the love of art. I’m glad we did because we ended up with some of my favorite images from the session. I especially love this one. When you see it big, the details are amazing. This may have to be in a new sample for me…
I actually really love the colors here. It looks as if it has been cross-processed but those are the actual colors – a combo of sunset lighting with a dirty windshield and cool old seats. I like the colors so much that I may have to play around with applying cross-processing effects to some of my other images.
Lastly, we headed off to a pretty field of grass…
This was Grahm’s favorite part! He really got to run and let loose!
Foxy just hung back and did her best meerkat impressions.
Love, love, love you two!!! Thank you for an awesome evening! :)

Jess D - Ok w0w- Ghram….in love! The pics of him running with his tennis ball are my fav! He’s so crisp and clear in them, amazing! And clearly he’s so happy. Love these (and love the truck too)

Lisa Prince Fishler - these photos and dogs are gorgeous!

Beth - Oh wow! That first shot is so great! I am totally in love with any photo that combines old trucks and dogs! I’m in my own little heaven looking at these photos!

Rockford – Beach Session

Nothing perks up a Lab’s eyes quite like an unforgettable trip to the beach.

Sand, birds, waves, sunlight, wind, salty air – it’s a magical combo that draws us to these lovely places. I honestly think dogs find the beach equally as compelling…especially when you add in a tennis ball and some off-leash fun.

Rockford had a wonderful time at Emerald Isle this past September. Rockford is typically the kinda guy that likes to lay around and watch the neighborhood kids run by. However, at the beach, he did a 180. There wasn’t too much laying around – mostly go, go go!

Rockford was extremely interested in the little tennis ball that kept disappearing into the sand…
Putting those big paws to use…
After playing in the sand for a bit, it was time to move into the water! Rockford loved it!!!
Rockford seriously looks like a puppy at the beach! You would never guess he is 7 years old!
Time for more ball!
This is one of my favorites from our evening together. This was taken after sunset and the colors of the ocean were simply beautiful.
The end!

If you are interested in booking a beach session, I have availability at the beginning of May. Check out this post for more information.

Emerald Isle Beach Sessions

I’m so excited to announce beach session availability in the Emerald Isle/Morehead City area this coming May 1st-4th! No travel fees will apply! I only have 2 spots available so please book ASAP if you are interested. I’m picturing beaches, boardwalks, sand dunes, boats, and quaint seafront towns! Eeeek!

Because of the unpredictability of Mother Nature, I would like to book the sessions on the 1st or 2nd and use the 3rd and 4th for back-up days if needed.

Please email me at sarah@mcgrawphotography.com if you want more info or are ready to book!
