J Snider Photography: Just a typical fall day in New England...

When Mychal first asked me to shoot her dog Gretchen, I admit I was both intrigued and a bit nervous. I had visions of arriving at the location and there being a completely innocent little pup, humiliated in leather and lace, waiting for me with weepy eyes and a deflated spirit. So I laid down the law before I accepted the gig "NO ANIMAL CLOTHING OF ANY SORT!" (I made my father swear to this when we gave him his Beagle a few years ago and I couldn't possibly go back on my core values) Mychal is a recent transplant to Boston and since it turned out to be a gorgeous day on Sunday it was a no-brainer to have our session outside with the beautiful foliage. There isn't anything else quite like it and I thought it would be a great way to remember her time in New England when she looks back at these images in years to come. Gretchen and Mychal are quite a twosome and they were a hoot to watch play together...kinda made me want one of my own.
