Can elegant and athletic be combined? Yes.

I photographed these two Borzois a while back but decided to bring these photos back into the spotlight as I was thinking about dogs and sunsets. Watching these dogs run full blast will forever be etched in my mind. Their speed and agility are truly amazing. Previously known as Russian Wolfhounds they are majestic sighthounds that are regal, independent, athletic, elegant and FAST!!

We started the day with an indoor shoot inside the owner’s house as both dogs were freshly groomed for the photo session. We followed that up with a full day on the beach. It was such an enjoyable photo session that will not be forgotten for so many reasons. Watching the dogs run, their natural beauty and regalness shining through and I cannot forget the onwers Dore and his wife who were simply the best hosts.

Sadly, Sonia, the female Borzoi on the unexpectedley passed a way a few short weeks afterward the photo session. I was gutted when I heard the news but forever but forever happy I had the opportunity to photograph her. RIP Sonia.
