When Caroline called and wanted us to do a shoot of her and her dog, we were excited because we had never done a shoot where the animal was the star! After Jere hung up with her, I got to thinking about the shoot and which park it would be at, would it be a nice park that we would feel safe in (I know, I’m such a baby), what kind of dog she has…yes, that’s right, didn’t even ask what kind of dog! So, the next evening when Caroline came out the front door with a 100 lb. German Shepherd, I’m not gonna lie, I was a little shocked and scared! But, on the plus side, I was no longer afraid of which park we were going to…nobody was going to bother us with this dog around! 
But, after spending about 5 seconds with Mercedes, it was obvious what a sweetheart she is!
I love this shot! Can you tell it was just a bit cold???
Caroline Eller is a wedding photojournalist here in Charlotte, so while it a little nerve-wracking to shoot a fellow photographer, it was still such an honor! Jere and I want to again thank you for meeting up with us a year ago and allowing a couple of newbies to pick your brain! We will forever be grateful for your kindness.
