Richmond Pet Photography: Underwater Dogs at Paws to Swim
I met Brady last summer at Paws to Swim, a canine swim facility in Rockville, a small town just North of Richmond, Virginia. With 1 outdoor and 3 heated indoor pools we had plenty of options for our underwater shoot.
As this golden boy likes to dock dive, we chose to use their outdoor 40’ competition-length dock diving pool to capture some jumping action along with expressive underwater images.
And just like the Tom he was named after,
this Brady showed up and delivered!
A typical Golden, Brady is a natural swimmer and tennis ball obsessed. He had no hesitation at all to stick his face underwater to chase after it. (In fact, I find that most dogs, regardless of breed, are more than willing to search for their favorite toy or follow a tasty treat underwater.)
Some dogs hold their breath while others like to blow bubbles out of their nose. Brady is a confident eyes-wide-open breath-holder.
