Smile Like a Dog

Life of Riley

Posted on 28. Jun, 2009 by Mark in Dogs

A few months back I had a client purchase a pet photo session for her husband’s birthday of their dog, Riley. Rather than going the gift certificate route she opted to have the session done before the big day so she could actually give the photos to him (pretty cool gift).

We decided to do the shoot down at Crissy Field so we could get Riley in front of the Golden Gate Bridge. Unfortunately, I’d forgotten about Daylight Savings so at our first meeting it was a little too bright out for a bridge shot. We tried again a few days later in the morning but the San Francisco fog conspired against us and so began a multi-week saga where each and every time we scheduled the follow-up shoot the weather kicked in and forced a fog-check. Finally, less than a week before the birthday, we caught a break and had the sunrise to beat all sunrises. Riley, it was worth the wait…
