Katie the Boxer

I have a bit of a soft spot for Boxers, and Katie is no exception. She's such a big, loveable goof that you can't help but smile when she's around.

I've had the opportunity to photograph Katie on two occasions. Her owner booked the first session after being given some devastating news about Katie's health. At that point, Katie was just a few days away from needing her ear to be surgically removed. As you can imagine, her owner was anxious to get some photos of Katie before this happened. Thankfully, we were able to schedule an urgent portrait session on Mother's Day while I was visiting my mum in Epping.

A month later, Katie was doing well and had managed to escape surgery (yay!). Without that looming threat, I was able to arrange a portrait session with Katie at a beach, which is her absolute favourite place to be. Looking at the photos below, you'd never be able to tell that Katie is unwell. She's still happy and as full of energy as an old Boxer can be. For now, things are good. Fingers crossed for Katie and her amazing family!
