Kingdom Dogs

We had a busy weekend with lots of photo shoots but one that was particularly interesting to me was getting to photograph Hank Hough and his Labrador Retrievers. Hank conducts a ministry with his dogs called Kingdom Dogs -- he uses the training and obedience of the dogs as metaphors for Biblical commands and obedience to God. These dogs are so well trained that he can call them away from fetching throw toys in mid stride. They'll sit for extended periods of time and even refrain from eating treats right in front of their noses!

After watching his presentation, we had an opportunity to take the dogs to the park and do a short session. I really wish I could have taken an extended portrait session time with them, things were going so well, but alas, our schedule would not allow it.

Below are some of my favorite images.
