Carlo + Millie

When Millie, also a photographer, contacted me for a session with her boy Carlo, I was equal parts thrilled, flattered and honestly a teensy bit self-conscious. When a fellow photographer chooses you to take their photos, it’s a surreal feeling!
The moment I pulled my car up at the beautiful Mount Osmond and saw darling floofy Carlo, all the noisy self talk in my head melted away. As you’ll see, Carlo is a big lovable fellow, Millie was super easy going, and together they were a dream to photograph.
As it transpired, all three of us regularly walk along the trails through Mt Osmond so everyone felt right at home. We were blessed with an incredible sunset and I took way too many photos, it was simply too pretty. Thank you Millie and Carlo for indulging me!

How did Carlo come into your world?

I rescued him from an awful situation with the intention of finding him a good home on a farm, given he is a Maremma....until I fell madly in love very quickly, and there was no way I could part with him.

How would you describe his personality?

He is super chilled, loving, playful and gentle.

What does he love to do the most?

He loves hiking off the leash with me, he's very fond of a sniff, and loves to have a run and be out in the big wide open spaces. He doesn't mind a pit stop however, he adores just lying in the grass, observing and chilling, He also loves to play his special brand of soccer with me in the garden, it involves two big balls and a lot of running, and he is pretty darn good at it!

If he could tell us all something about you, what would he say?

That she's crazy in love with me, kind, gentle, loving and patient, even when I run after little creatures I shouldn't!

What's everyday life like with your boy by your side?

Carlo melts me heart every day. I can't imagine waking up and not seeing his beautiful face. We love spending time together, either walking in the countryside, playing in the dog park or just chilling at home.

How has having your dog changed your life?

Carlo has totally changed my life. For one I had to move homes, so he had enough space!! He's my absolute best buddy, I spend more time with him than anyone else and I cherish every moment of it. No matter what is happening in my day, he always makes me smile and feel warm and fuzzy.
