I met Susan back in March when I photographed the Animal Refuge League’s first ever Paws in Stripes graduation ceremony. As former Director of Operations at the ARL, Susan was very instrumental in the implementation of the fantastic program at the Maine Correctional Center. Now, Susan works with the ASPCA on facilitating their fantastic Meet Your Match program. Needless to say, she’s quite the animal lover! I was so excited to reconnect with Susan this week for a surprise photo session for her husband’s upcoming birthday. We met at the beautiful Twin Brook Recreation Center in Cumberland and enjoyed some more of the season’s lovely leaves.
Meet Jenny, Meg & Kate!

Jenny is a fun-loving Wheaten Terrier with a lot of spunk! She’s always up for a game of fetch and will most definitely be interested in any treats you might have in your pocket!


Kate, has joined Susan’s family as a foster, but will hopefully become an official member of the family in the next few weeks. A little camera shy at first, Kate gradually warmed up to the idea of posing for photographs in exchange for a few treats!


Meg, the queen bee of the group, excitedly greeted everyone we came across at the park. She has a great amount of energy for a thirteen year-old lab, but had no problem getting comfortable on the ground in front of the beautiful leaves.




All three dogs love and adore Susan, even when she does not have treats in her hands!

Thank you, thank you, Susan! I hope Tom is surprised with the photos from this session. The different dynamics of your three pups were hilarious to watch unfold at Twin Brooks. I hope you will all stop by the studio the next time you’re in South Portland for some treats!
