Dreaming
Boots, our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and my daughter Hannah….. Being an only child she calls him her brother!
Taken with Sony F717, ISO equiv 800, Sepia setting, unedited.
Would make a lovely card for any occasion, Mothers Day, Thank You, Birthday, Thinking of You, etc….....

Awww how adorable, beautiful portrait!!!
Thanks for your comment Squealia!!!
Squealia in reply to Cindy Perrinjaquet’s comment, 3 months ago
Thanks Cindy, I hoped you didn’t feel obliged to leave a comment just because I left you one? But thanks anyway. :)
Cindy Perrinj..., 3 months ago
Not at all Squealia, I have commented on many here which stood out & made me smile. Your daughter Hannah is very beautiful & Boots is such a sweetie & so loyal. The picture speaks for itself, you’ve captured their closeness & love for eachother beautifully. It reminnds me so much of my daughter at this age, also an only child. We had a beautiful Australian Terrier whom she shared the same bond, they were always together just like sisters!!!

LOL I wouldn’t have the confidence to do photography for money….. I might mess it all up! But thanking you :O)
newbeltane, 17 days ago
Nonsense! I am sure you could do it… any parent needs bags of self-confidence just to get up and face each day not knowing what challenges lie ahead. Plus, I am a great believer in being yourself and folk like that and warm to someone who is themselves rather than acting out the role of the big professional expert. Why not try with friends first?
Steve
Squealia in reply to newbeltane’s comment, 17 days ago
LOL I may when hannah has friends over, get them to pose and then show their parents and see the reaction!
