I recently had the opportunity to photograph a litter of ADORABLE border collie puppies, the "Saved by the Bell" litter bred by Emily Hurt of EmDogs Agility. We had so much fun in the studio that when I saw the weather report for seventy degrees and sunny just four days later I decided to head up to Sherman, Texas to photograph these little busy bodies on their farm as well.
Emily said that all the leaves were falling off the trees and they had piles of them, this got my creative juices flowing. I wanted to capture all the action so a fast shutter speed was in order and we had a gorgeous morning with beautiful natural light just slightly diffused by some thin, hazy clouds. I love the contrast of the black and white dogs with the colorful autumn leaves.
Puppy breath, beautiful weather and my camera; it was heaven on earth for me. So now, without further ado, let me introduce you to the kids in the class!

Elaine - I am so glad you did the comparison shots. Whether in studio or outside, that fourth puppy down (with the squiggly blaze) can come home to me. GAH!

Angela Schneider - Ohmigosh, just bottle up some of that puppy breath and send it to me! I love both the studio and outdoor images. The warm fall light can't be beat, though.
