This Boston Terrier is fantastic. Really. He has so much energy, a super fun personality, neato parents and the classic Boston Terrier tuxedo attire. You may remember him? I did photos of him last August and shared them here and here. This family made it incredibly clear that they dearly love their Astro when they placed an incredibly close second in my CMICBMFP contest from earlier this year. {If you have no idea what I’m talking about maybe take a few minutes to check out those links which shows the unending cuteness I was fortunate enough to photograph last year.} Anyways, since the Goldstein’s put so much effort into the contest I couldn’t help but award them with the first place prize as well. Hooray! 🙂

Since most of his very warm and sunny shoot last Summer involved ball throwing, sun bathing and tongue flailing we thought we’d do something a bit calmer this time round. At first Astro wasn’t so sure about being calm around his new friend. He just wanted to play and work for treats!
