Rustic Peñasquitos Canyon VIP Adventure Pet Portrait Sessions

It’s the time of year for family photos — but pets are family, too, and deserve to be included. I’m hosting some extra special, limited edition outdoor adventure photo sessions perfect for holiday cards and gifts. Taches is here to tell you a little more about them!

Straight from the dog’s mouth:

Hi, I’m Taches (sounds like Tosh)! I’ve been my dad’s best companion for 16 years. We recently had a photo session in Los Penasquitos Canyon with Terran that inspired her to create her VIP (that stands for Very Important Pet) Limited Edition Holiday Adventure Session specials for autumn.
 
I didn’t really know what to expect before the photo shoot but Terran promised me we’d take it slow (I’m 16 years old, after all) and that I’d get lots of treats. You might be feeling just as unsure as I was so I’d like to tell you a little about my experience (and share some of my beautiful photos)!

I had never been to Penasquitos Canyon before but I heard it was beautifully rustic — and it was! We visited a little stream, a field of tall grass, and lots of other spots that really felt like we were in the country. The best part is that we didn’t have to walk very far, which can be troublesome for a senior dog like me. I love being in the great outdoors with my family so PQ Canyon was such a perfect spot for us.

Speaking of my family, Terran made sure the session was about all of us, not just me, which I really enjoyed. I love having my mom and dad nearby so we made sure to get a great variety of photos of us all together. Terran even took a few of just my mom and dad, which they loved, too!

We had our photo shoot just before sunset and Terran got really excited about the magical, sparkly light! This translated to her taking lots of photos, which meant I got more treats. Win-win!

I had lots of fun at my VIP Limited Edition Holiday Adventure Session! Terran tells me there are only a few of these session spots remaining so you probably want to get in touch soon. Not only will you have a great time and get lots of stinky treats — or maybe those are just for the dogs — but you’ll have beautiful photos to share on holiday cards, display in your home, or give as gifts to your best friends and family!
