C and his best friend

C was a great senior guy I shot this week. We were over on Sauvie Island, and had a great time just driving around, spontaniously stopping when we saw cool locations. I love that kind of shoot, so similar to doing a walk and shoot downtown. It's great to just wander a bit and find where the magical light is that day.

We decided on Sauvie Island because it really had meaning to C. He is out there often to train his sweet dog "Sooner". Sooner is a hunting dog and was thrilled to run around for us, he had no fear, busting through 5-ft tall grasses. We joked that it reminded us of the monster on that show "Lost", a mysterious creature you can't see coming at you through the grass and forests.

It's obvious how much C loves this sweet dog!
Ok, so I did guide him on posing, but he was a natural.
This was the funniest....you should've seen the looks on the faces of drivers as we grabbed the chair and ran off the street to let them pass. We got a few laughs for sure! :)


I adored the golden light here!

It's a lovely surprise to find these little pockets of perfection.

Thanks so much, C, this was fun!
