Wow ~ what a difference two years can make. I photographed McNair and Coco almost exactly two years ago. McNair was a precious little girl and Coco, her canine companion, was about the cutest dog I had ever seen. Now, McNair has grown into a beautiful young lady – and Coco is still about the cutest dog I’ve ever seen! It was really good to see them again. Even though McNair is growing up, Coco is still her true love. They share a very special relationship. If the truth be known, I think Coco pretty much rules the roost – which is as it should be, I’m sure.
I love doing pictures for McNair’s family because they only want black and whites. If it were up to me, I’d never show anyone anything but black and white. There is a timeless, classic quality to black and white that you just don’t find with color. It truly speaks to me – which is a little scary, I know.
I’m still trying to get used to the loss of daylight savings time, so we started shooting a little later than we should have. That means we lost the light really fast. But, we worked quickly and everyone was cooperative, so we got some great shots of McNair and Coco. I’m not sure what was used to bribe McNair – but Coco was promised turkey if she behaved.
I haven’t finished editing this session, but I’ve picked out a few favorites to show.
And this is probably my very favorite of McNair alone. I’m not sure her parents will like it. In fact, I think I can hear their response right now . . . “that makes our baby look so old!” Oh my, it’s only going to get worse!
