It’s about time I blogged about these two–I photographed them way back in July! Puccini and Bartok (aka Pucci and Bart) are an adorable pair of Havanese who I met and photographed at their gorgeous weekend getaway condo in Sarasota. Pucci is the big brother at two years old, with a wise face and calm attitude, and Bart is his one year old little brother, with the typical playful and silly personality that a little brother must have. I had such a fun afternoon with Pucci, Bart, and their mom over the summer. Their condo was a beautiful setting for the photos, and we even went across the street for a photo at the Van Wezel, the performing arts center located on lovely Sarasota bay, where Pucci and Bart’s mom has played piano with the symphony.

Bart is the white fluffball, and Pucci is the black and white boy. Such a cute duo!

It seems I’ve been photographing a lot of sick doggies lately. These sessions are so bittersweet, but it is such a blessing to be able to capture images of these great pets so their owners can have photos to cherish and remember them by. Another one of these sessions was done back in November for Schautzie, a six year old Great Pyrenees diagnosed with bone cancer. We hung out in her backyard overlooking the water and walked over to the park across the street to hunt for squirrels and lay in the shade. While Schautzie is moving slower now, and her tumor is growing, she’s being very well taken care of by her parents and three doggy siblings. I’m so happy I got to meet this lovely girl!
