Three Chihuahua Secret Garden Photo Session

Meet Teddy, Bear, and Grizzly — three adorable chihuahuas — and enjoy a dog photo journey through my lush secret garden with them and their person Suzanne.

Summer is one of the best times to visit the 50-acre Awbury Arboretum for a golden-hour dog photo session: Several meadows are now deep green, shaded, and feature stone walls, blossoms, and an historic circa 1860 mansion. And we often have it mostly to ourselves, especially in July and August.

We started our adventure steps from the parking lot behind the Cope House mansion where light is filtered through hydrangeas and ferns. Here we made images of each dog with Suzanne as well as two-year-old Grizzly's glamour shots: He looks like a proud forest nymph, don’t you think?

Next stop, the McNabbtown field, so named because a small group of modest homes stood here once upon a time. I love this field because it’s tucked well away from any roads by various stone walls, some more than six feet high, and it enjoys filtered light from the setting sun in the late afternoon.

You won’t believe it, but Teddy — he’s the whiter dog with the amazing grin — and Bear — the little man with the curly chest hair — are 15 years old. They’re also littermates, which is why Suzanne requested a few images of just the two of them separate from two-year-old Grizzly.

Teddy was the oldest dog competing at the AKC National Agility Championship earlier this year. So impressive! Young Grizzly is following in Teddy’s agility footsteps and is also lighting up the conformation ring, while Teddy and Bear are having a blast in rally.
