Not too long ago I had the privilege of capturing the beauty and uniqueness of Azzo, a 3-year-old Bracco Italiano. Azzo's journey to his photoshoot at the stunning Felixstow Reserve was a testament to patience, love, and a deep bond with his pawrents, Carlyn and Jono. In this blog, we'll dive into Azzo's inspiring story and his remarkable day in the lush greenery of Felixstow Reserve.
**A Unique Little Soul**
Azzo's mum, Carlyn, knew from the start that a Bracco Italiano was the perfect fit for her lifestyle. She waited patiently for three years before welcoming Azzo into her life, and it turned out to be the best decision she ever made. Azzo, she says, is a unique little soul.
**A Journey of Learning and Love**
Azzo's life took an unexpected turn as he developed fear-based reactivity. This became a profound learning experience for Carlyn, who transformed into a dedicated advocate for reactive dogs. She committed herself to understanding, training, and loving Azzo through his challenges, turning it into a rollercoaster ride of emotions that ultimately strengthened their bond.
**Living Life to the Fullest**
Despite the hurdles of reactivity, Carlyn and Jono made sure Azzo lived his life to the absolute fullest. Seeing him happy and content became their ultimate reward and a reminder of the beauty of resilience and love.
**A Photoshoot to Remember**
Azzo's photoshoot took place at Felixstow Reserve, a picturesque location with lush greenery, gum trees, and a tranquil river running through. The perfect backdrop for capturing the essence of this special Bracco Italiano.
Azzo, despite his nervous disposition, did remarkably well during the session. His eyes sparkled with pride, and his unique personality shone through in every frame. Carlyn and Jono, who adore Azzo more than anything else in the world, looked on with immense pride and love as he posed for the camera.
**A Stress-Free Experience**
Carlyn, understandably nervous about the photoshoot given Azzo's anxiety and reactivity, was pleasantly surprised by how stress-free and enjoyable the session turned out to be. She had this to say about our time together: "We were initially nervous about our photoshoot as my boy is anxious & reactive; however, Elouise was so patient & understanding towards him with an approach to cater for the individual dog's needs rather than a standard routine. It was a fun & stress-free experience resulting in great photos! Thank you."
**Conclusion**
Azzo's journey is a testament to the power of love, patience, and dedication. Carlyn and Jono have gone above and beyond to ensure that Azzo lives a full and happy life despite his challenges. Our photoshoot at Felixstow Reserve captured the essence of this incredible bond and Azzo's unique spirit. It was a day of celebration, resilience, and above all, love. Thank you, Carlyn, Jono, and Azzo, for letting me be a part of your beautiful journey.
