Photoshoot - Ann's Samoyeds

Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving that marks the beginning of the Christmas shopping season.  In Caldwell Idaho this year, I shunned the mobs of shoppers, instead chose to sit out in the freezing (11 degrees F) cold with my best friend Helen (Canon EOS 7D - remember my camera has a name) two gorgeous Samoyeds and our friend Ann of Suntrip Samoyeds & 2 Border Collies.

The sun was just rising, which bathed the field in a beautiful golden hue - and lit up Gracie's eyes.

 

The wind blew slighly, ruffling her fur

Gracie & Pogo explored together.  Sniffing the air as it blew across the fields.

Gracie's 'sister' Pogo.   I loved the difference in the color of their eyes, and nose.  Pogo's nose is brown & her eyes photography much darker. 

Their color was striking against the browned grasses

I especially liked the grasses & how they brought an interesting texture to the shots. 

"Hi Pogo!  Yes, it is Camera Face making silly noises while she sits in the dirt freezing her arse off." 

A high shrill squeak gets their attention every time! 

"AHHHHHH Incoming!"

They didn't stray far from Ann

 Even though Ann has been sucked completely into the dark world of the border collie & was bringing home a puppy (Bea's littermate, Pearl)...they still adored her. 

They love their Mom, regardless of the border collie handicap. 

 Thank you, Ann for letting me photograph your incredible girls. 

Their love for you shown brightly in their eyes.
