To celebrate her first birthday, I took Sadie & the gang for "formal" portraits at the Samoyed Rescue home where she was born. Even though she hasn't seen them in over 9 months, it didn't take long for Sadie to remember her first family. Special thanks to Ron, Kathy & Jeff Manor of Northwest Samoyed Rescue for their patience putting up with dogs that didn't necessarily cooperate in having their pictures taken. I followed up the next morning with a few candid shots at home.
