First Year Puppy Changes

This year I photographed a puppy twice, at four months and on his first birthday. The changes were amazing!  

Theodore, a miniature Australian Shepard, was only 8 pounds when we did the first session at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco.

Eight months later we did a session at Crissy Field beach in San Francisco. By then he had more than doubled to 20 pounds, his coat had filled out and his red Merle coloring had become much more pronounced!

Even though he looks so different there’s something about the crazed look in his eyes when he’s running around that is still the same. Here’s an action shot at 4 months.

And another action shot at 1 year old.

Here’s a head tilt shot at four months.

And a head tilt shot, with birthday crown, at 1 year.

By his first birthday he not only looked different, but he had some new skills such as this terrific Frisbee catch.

That first year for a puppy or kitten is so filled with changes, it’s a great time to have one or more photo sessions. Email me at PipiDiamond@gmail.com to get the process started!
