Skye and Shyloh (Border Collie)

Skye and Shyloh (Border Collie)

Our friends Vicki and Kev were visiting with their wonderful family of pets. Towards the end of the day we decided to try an indoors photoshoot. Skye and Shyloh were the perfect models; half way through the session Shyloh improvised by leaning on Skye, which resulted in the second photo (what a boy!).

In the last photo the adorable Flea joined Skye and managed to - almost - stay put. He enjoyed the session as much as a cat would - the result was lots of photos with half a tail, wiskers or a very cute curious face appearing in various parts of the frames, most notably in front of the main subjects.
