austen | the beagle eyes have it | portland pet photography

this is austen.

she is an older girl,  wise beyond her years,  loves humans,  makes the most amazing eye contact and is sweeter than summer ice cream.

she and her mum have been together for many years and after a rough start to her life (rescued from the woods in fairly bad shape) she is living a well deserved very good life.  

i had the most amazing day getting to know austen and her mum.  truly an honor and a joy.  

below is the book design that was created to showcase the session.  it highlights everything her mum loves about her most and will be a sweet reminder of their life together and the love they shared, when the time comes for austen to try on new wings.

-- p.s. people have asked me why she is so sad.. not to worry,  there was not an once of sadness in her. she just has beagle eyes :) --
