Pax, the affable Aussie
Australian Shepherds as a breed are sweet, intelligent, and energetic - and Pax is no different. This charming boy was a joy to work with and posed like a champ for my camera. He took his job of chasing tennis balls very seriously and was almost too fast for my camera shutter! The setting sun behind the trees gave a perfect glow to his multi-colored coat and showed off his brilliant azure eyes. As the sun dipped below the horizon, we finished the session with a gorgeous silhouette shot.
