Ho Ho Hoover {Atlanta Dogand Pet Photographer}

Hoover and his dad Wade are good friends as well as clients, and I've been photographing them from the beginning of their relationship. It seems like yesterday that baby Hoov came home from the animal shelter, but in very little time he has rapidly progressed from cute little puppy to sizable force of nature. At seven months old he's full of personality, as well as energy and the willingness to eat anything, anywhere.


With the holidays fast approaching a Christmas card photo was in order, so Hoover and company came over for a visit. Let's just say it was a very interesting photo session! Being true to his name, his immediate response to the jingle bell collar was a very determined effort to eat it. Luckily that did not succeed and we got started with pictures. Once the treats came out he was quite focused.  Doesn't he look handsome and quite seasonally appropriate? 

Before long, though, he got hungry again.  This is what it looks like when a dog tries to make a snack out of a camera lens.

This is what it looks like when a boo-boo happens on the photographer's carpet.  Had there been a cone of shame handy he would have been wearing it, and he knew it.

This is Hoover with Trisha, one of his favorite human friends.....he hearts Trisha.

And this is Hoover, you guessed it, trying to eat the Santa hat off Wade's head.

At least the name choice has turned out to be absolutely, unquestionably appropriate.  Hoover, you're still my buddy!
