Client Session ~ Comet the Golden Retriever and Sun the Australian Cattle Dog

Meet Comet and Sun, two rescues who are lucky enough to live near the beautiful Cabarita Beach in Northern NSW. Comet is a 9 year old Golden Retriever, named for his gorgeous full tail, as illustrated in this shot!

The late afternoon light at the beach was just perfect and played up Comet’s lovely thick golden coat when backlit.

Not to be outshone, Sun worked the light too and looked much more alert than her age of 10 years would suggest.

Comet had me in stitches with his upside-down stick chewing antics.

Whereas Sun was quite happy to pose it up in the sunshine near the rocks.

Earlier in the afternoon before heading to the beach we’d had a bonding session in the backyard, and these two proved to be excellent models.

On the same day as Boo’s session, I was back at Berry Island Reserve again in the afternoon to meet with Sparkles and her mum for her turn in the spotlight. Unfortunately the tide has risen during the day so we couldn’t get access to the beach and rocks, but the gorgeous Sparkles happily made do with some frolicking in the water instead.

After that it was off up the hill to the bush section of the reserve with lots of big boulders to stand on and do what Great Dane do best – look majestic!

Sparkles was a perfect subject, being five years old she had most of the puppy business out of the way and I could focus in on the details.

Then it was back to looking regal again on the rocks.

Finishing off with one of my favourite shots – the nose! Noses on harlequin Great Danes often start off with lots of pink then slowly fill in with black as they grow up.
