Mali’s session was a gift from her owner’s daughter (also a client of mine) for Mother’s Day last year. Inspired by her daughter’s Havanese dog, Mali’s owner jumped at the chance to own one of these great little dogs when the opportunity arose – so Mali was quickly integrated into the family!

The bond between Mali and his Mum is obvious the moment you see them together. After a quick couple of shots at home, we headed to the local park and got busy. Mali’s Mum was keen for some shots of the two of them together so we made sure we got plenty of them to choose from.

Mali was a perfect angel off-leash at the park, even resisting the urge to dive in to the lake and chase some ducks, he came straight back when Mum called like a good boy. Keen to show off his jumping ability, a demonstration was arranged for me.

Time for some modelling shots in the gorgeous park grounds.

Then back home again to soak up the last of the day’s light on the jetty.
