Bentley's Fall Senior Session At Rattlesnake Lake - North Bend Pet Photography

Senior dogs are some of the sweetest, most lovable souls. And Bentley was no exception.

This 12 year old dachshund gave his mom a bit of a fright just before his 12th birthday, visiting with his friends at Blue Pearl vet and dealing with some medical concerns.

Thankfully he's doing great now! But it really reminded his mom how much she would love to have professional pet photos of her favorite little man, especially now that he's getting older.

The Story Of Bentley

"I met Bentley when I met my boyfriend over 9 years ago. At the time my childhood dog Buddy, who was 18 years old was struggling and we had to make the decision to let him cross the rainbow bridge. Bentley helped me with the loss of Buddy and quickly become just as much my dog as he is my boyfriends."

Bentley is described as...

• Resilient

• Adventurous

• Loving

After meeting him and hearing some of their stories, I couldn't agree more.

It was a typical rainy day in November. Bentley and his mom braved the weather to come adventure with me for their session. And it paid off! The rain held off and we were able to have this location almost completely to ourselves.

Bentley was a huge fan of my treats and wanted to stay directly under foot while we walked around. So much so that his mom had to carry him because he kept almost tripping me!

We became such great friends during his session, and he did great as a little model.

Here's what Bentley's mom had to say

"Working with Marie was amazing! Bentley recently had a health scare that made us realize how precious time really is, so getting photos of him was so important to us. Marie was so great and captured our sweet boy so well! If you’re on the fence about booking a photo shoot for your furry friend, I highly recommend it. I can’t say enough great things about our experience and how Marie went above and beyond to make it a wonderful one."

Let me say, I was so relieved to hear he's doing well and has received such amazing care from Blue Pearl. And that I was able to meet him and his mom for a wonderful session at Rattlesnake Lake in North Bend, Washington.
