Handsome Dan XVIII, Yale University

Handsome Dan XVIII, Yale University

When we met Handsome Dan XVIII (a.k.a. Walter), we felt like we were in the presence of a “rock star”! Everywhere we walked around Yale University campus, we were met with pup’arazzi and onlookers galore! This little puppy is the new mascot for Yale Athletics, but is every bit just a regular dog who enjoys playing, running, chewing and just being a pup! We wanted to create a session where he could be just that – a regular pup! Since Walter already had a few “official” photo sessions with Yale’s own photographer, we wanted to do something a little different, so we traipsed around campus with him and his dad Kevin, looked for a quiet space and had a blast!Yale University Handsome Dan XVIIIYale University Handsome Dan XVIIIYale University Handsome Dan XVIII & Kevin DiscepoloYale University Handsome Dan XVIIIYale University Handsome Dan XVIIIYale University Handsome Dan XVIIIYale University Handsome Dan XVIII

Pepper the Miniature Schnauzer

We met up with Pepper and her mom at a park near their home. Her mom wanted capture a few photos of Pepper the way she is – a tough, strong, loving, majorly cuddly, sweet, protective, playful, loyal and spirited dog, so she and Pepper’s dad can have something to cherish forever. Pepper has been dealing with some pretty major health issues lately; sciatica, arthritis, liver infection, and unfortunately cancer! I hope that they keep these images close to their hearts. Pepper was truly a joy to photograph!

Camry the Brittany Spaniel

This is Camry, the Brittany Spaniel, and what a sweet dog she is! Camry’s mom says she is quite shy, but loves going for walks. She has great hunting instincts and is always on the look out for squirrels and chipmunks! She also loves her soccer ball! Unfortunately, she is battling cancer so this was an extremely emotional photo session for us. We hope we were able to capture her true spirit in these photos.

Tumba & Pretty the Australian Shepherds

We met Tumba last year when we did his photoshoot for a surprise Christmas gift for his mom. Since then, Tumba welcomed a new sister, appropriately named – Pretty! We loved seeing Tumba again and meeting Pretty – they were so much fun, and they really seem to be the best of friends!
