Time Flies, Especially When You’re a Gorgeous Golden!
You know those moments when you just see something and it stops you in your tracks? That happened to me the other day. I was out for a stroll with my dog, when I spotted this absolutely stunning Golden Retriever. She had some beautiful, silver dusting around her muzzle and face. I just thought she looked… well, experienced. You know, a wise old soul.
I said:
“Wow, is she already collecting her cpp?” – cpp is Canada’s pension!
Her owner corrected me with a smile.
“Oh Nooo! She’s only 8 years old.”
“She started becoming white when she was 3.”
Seriously?! Eight years old? That’s a quite young for a Golden. It just goes to show how appearances are deceiving. And that dogs (especially Golden Retrievers!) have a way of radiating a certain… wisdom, regardless of their age.
This little encounter really got me thinking about capturing that unique personality and story that each dog carries. It’s not just about getting a technically good photo; it’s about freezing a moment in time, showing the world who that dog is. It’s about celebrating their quirks, their energy, their love, and even the signs of a well-lived life!
There’s a beauty in the aging process, a depth and a character that’s just irresistible.
Want to celebrate your dog’s story with a gorgeous, lasting portrait? I’m booking sessions for the fall, and I’ve got a few spots still available. Let’s chat about creating something truly special – a photograph that captures the essence of your beloved companion.
Let’s chat! I can’t wait to hear about your furry friend!
