We recently held our annual dog portrait charity event in conjunction with the Pioneer Valley Kennel Club.
Whenever we do a series of dog portraits, Leslie loves to go through them and select (odd) ones that convey a particular beauty, artfulness, personality, or are just plain fun.Often, these are shots that aren't what we hoped to get but surprise us by their soulfulness.BusterCarlee and Peaches.
