Rugby :: Black Lab
Rugby is the sweetest black lab you’ll ever meet. And she is ALL retriever. All she wanted to do was chase squirrels, chase toys and chase tennis balls. So that’s what we did for her portrait session!
Meet Rugby. She loves to look out the window, watching for something to chase.
Looking very regal…
If it’s not the front window, it’s the back gate, where the squirrels taunt her from the other side.
Getting some love from mom…
She’s doing very well with her training!
Still watching for those squirrels…
The only thing better than chasing squirrels is a peanut butter Kong!
Then we went across the street to the tennis courts where Rugby likes to play fetch. I think she was wondering why all those humans were hitting her chew toys with rackets…
It was overcast and a little dreary, but the blue court really added some nice color.
I always look for little details that show clients’ devotion to their pets. This doormat says it all. In fact, after our shoot I was exhausted, but Rugby was headed out to the dog park for some more fun!

i’ve got a black cat, so i know how challenging it is to shoot a black dog. i really like the details on the first three photos.
I especially like the one on the tennis court; the black against blue is striking. Great shots.
Hi there – My mom actually bought the doormat as a gift for me at a booth at a horse show, so unfortunately I can’t give the name of any major retailers that have the mat. I did a quick google search, however, and there are a few for sale on ebay and some other vending sites. Sorry that I can’t be more specific!
By the way, a quick plug: Rugby was a rescue dog that I got from Lab Rescue of L.R.C.P. Inc. — a great rescue group for labs!
Still partial to black dogs I see! Great looking pet.
ok first of all, that door mat is FABULOUS. do you have any idea where they got it??? i need one!
second – the tennis court shots are out of this world – i love them!
The court images are fantastic – what a wonderful series of images!
These are just gorgeous Stephen. My favorites were definitely on the tennis court (the blue background). Adorable. The doormat is hilarious!
Great photos! Especially love the blue tennis court which, incidentally, made me order these tennis balls . So thanks for the inspiration and hoping to see more of your beautiful dog.
LOVE this set! fabulous
Love the blue court with tennis ball picture! Rugby really stands out in that one! Great photos
Great tennis court shots!
These are so great Stephen! They are exactly what I wanted. I think you really captured Rugby to a tee!! Looking forward to ordering prints for my house, my office, my parents…crazy dog lady on the loose!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the blue court!! Those shots scream canvas!!
She does look so full of character
That doormat is awesome too haha..
Fantastic series, I love the surreal feeling your shallow DOF adds, something I’ll definitely have to try!
Great session! I love the photo of Rugby standing on the blue tennis court with the tennis ball at his feet.
