You might remember Boo the Great Dane from a few months ago – I originally photographed him in a fantastic old cemetery in Sydney. He was 9 months old at the time, but today is his first birthday so is the perfect time to post some photos taken at Boo’s second shoot which was done a couple of weeks ago.
The location this time around is the beautiful Berry Island Reserve near Wollstonecraft in Sydney. What a beautiful location – it had it all! The exposed sandstone near the water’s edge had the most amazing colours and bright green moss too.
There is a cute little cove on the harbour complete with sandstone, sandy beaches, shells and pebbles and even little rowboats dragged up on the beach to allow people to access their boats moored in the harbour. By the way, how much more grown up does Boo look, compared to his photos of three months ago?
Some people arrived in their little boat while we were there and Boo was instantly captivated.
A captivated dog is a good dog! Sometimes it’s the perfect recipe for getting them to stand still and focus for more than two seconds at a time. What a handsome boy he’s grown into.
The shot on the left wins hands down as my favourite from the session.
Gotta love that early morning light.
Just to give some perspective, here’s one that almost-but-not-quite made the final cut… what a silly cute boy Boo is!
And for even more perspective, this is what we saw of Boo for about 90% of the session…
