This is a probably the best photo I will ever take. I am low down, she's paused, head raised. Her eyes and nose are beautifullly focused catching her in a candid moment of focus transfixed by the trees above. I love this picture.
Here she had just woken up and partially stretched up, she turned and in the natural light her messy thick fur just looked very impressive. I couldn't help but take some pictures of her as always. This is one that really makes her look soft.
Strong backlighting creates this playful shadow across her face here, it accentuates the roundness of her forms in a way that front lighting can't. I had never seen this aspect of her before and luckliy the camera was nearby. So cute <3
In this photo you can clearly see her ancestry as a large hunting animal. Powerful muscles and fully intentioned motion combine to convey a sense of predatory focus. I love this picture of her as it reminds me that no matter how cute I think she is, her kind would menace us dreadfully if they were bigger.
Another very close up portrait shot, this time she playfully reclines in the sunshine licking her paws with carefree indulgence. When the light is good it really brightens her white fur and contrasts the darker patches beautifully. This was another siuation where a candid model and great natural light did all the work.
