Lara + Rob, probably the most connected couple I’ve met — from whose wedding spawned three other weddings, one family session, and two other photography requests which didn’t pan out — are diving into the wonderful world of parenthood in early 2013!

So, what better way to immortalize the moment than by being cute in some tall grass?

That’s not some random dog who posed for the photo; that’s Lara + Rob’s furbaby, Seamo. A most awesome dog whose favourite foods are carpet and upholstery. There’s a reason their place has hardwood floors and leather furniture.

But, on the shoot, Seamo behaved in a most WHOSAGOOBOY fashion, took direction quite well, and has fantastic hair fur for ringlighting.

Yes, scared-of-dogs-guy let a big ol’ golden charge him for the sake of a photo.

Three times.

Thankfully, I knew he was really gunning for an ear scratch from friend Steph, who stood behind me as I crouched to get this shot, so I felt 86% safe while a dog which likely outweighs me careened directly toward my head with the momentum of a small torpedo.
