nickerson, long beach ca.
December 4th, 2008Nickerson is truly one of the most cooperative, photogenic dogs I’ve had the pleasure of photographing. This guy has the HUGEST smile and is the best little poser. Somebody get this guy an agent!
He’s so cute with his brindle coloring — doesn’t Nickerson kind of look like a mini Boxer?
(Click on small photos to enlarge)
Nickerson has a toy for every occasion:
What a smile!
So Nickerson’s mom and dad are huge football fans. He’s even named after a stadium in Boston, their hometown. Nickerson was totally ready to watch Sunday football with his dad:
No words.
Don’t let these photos fool you - fall in Los Angeles does NOT look like the fall I’m used to back on the east coast. But it’s funny — there was a lone tree shedding gorgeous fall leaves right across the street from Nickerson’s house! How perfect for a bunch of east coast transplants.
Alyson and Justin, I had SO MUCH FUN with you guys! Thanks for such a great photoshoot — Nickerson is such a doll.

Those little teeth!

I thought he was a boxer at first glance. A Boston Terrier, right? He’s adorable! He reminds me so much of Sparky in his younger years. This makes me want our Boston puppy to come sooner! They’re all awesome!

If I even think about getting my camera, my dogs run the other way.
These are great! The colors are stunning.

Love this little dogs face and of course I am a big fan of doggie eye-wear. The smiling shots are adorable.

Just beautiful. You’ve placed him on pieces of furniture that really accentuate his look.

Wow so much personality for a little guy! Great images, he truly is a poser
Love the images in the car.

Is he a Boston? Really cool markings and yes, quite the poser. Great shots as usual.

Too cute!!!! How did you get him to smile!

Thanks for the comments everyone!
Emilee and Jill — yup he’s a Boston Terrier!
Joanne — I really can’t take any credit for Nickerson’s million dollar smile. I probably could have just stood there with treats and he would have kept flashing it.
