Emily, Berkley, Cisco and Riot :: VA Family Portraits

I’m finally catching up on blogging some sessions from the end of last year. This was another of my favorite families to add a baby to the mix. We had a wonderful session with the dogs a few years ago, and I’m so glad they called me to document the new addition, Emily. Berkley, Cisco and Riot will be great siblings, even if they don’t get ALL of the attention now.

After a few shots with the dogs, we focused on Emily…

Cisco, Berkley & Riot

I was so excited when Kelly called me for a dog photography session and told me that she had two of my favorite breeds… Golden Retreivers and a Bernese Mountain Dog! Cisco and Riot are the Goldens (Riot is the puppy) and Berkley is the Bernese.

Three dogs sounded like a lot to handle, but Berkley and Cisco are trained agility dogs and Riot is in training, so they were all very well-behaved. (Jingles and Cooley could sure take some lessons.) It was so much fun watching these three play together. Enjoy!

Here, they sit patiently for some treats…

Riot is learning from his older siblings…

An impromptu teeth cleaning? A new circus trick, perhaps?

Nope, just Cisco and Riot sharing a ball…

Just a few of the many ribbons these dogs have won…

We braved the cold for a little outdoor time…

This photo just cracks me up!

Of course Riot wants everything his big bro has…

Back inside to warm up and rest…
