Say hello to this amazing Charley’s K9 Rescue crew!

These three girls came into my life through my 2025 Triangle Dog Of The Year Calendar Contest benefiting Charley’s K9 Rescue.

Addy, the first image below, actually won one of the top prizes in the calendar contest! She’s Miss July, which you can actually order the calendar now to help support the rescue she came from.

Addy was the first addition to Carlee and James’ crew. Shortly thereafter, they added Annie, the Hound, and then months after our first photoshoot together, the little adorable thing, Avary. They cleary have a type, don’t they!?!

Not only do the girls love, love, love the water, but Lake Jordan has been a special place for Carlee and James over the past decade. It is somewhere they’ve stolen away during the Summer as a respite and place of sanctuary. They loved taking the boat out on the water or spending time relaxing on the shore.

Carlee lamented to me it is a place she will miss so much now that they’ve moved, but are so glad to have these photos of the girls splashing and playing in one of their favorite places in the world.

I was beyond honored to create these photos for them. It was a fun (and hot!) time of sun, splashing, sand, and just general good times. As you can see in the photos, it was well worth the heat.

Enjoy Addy, Annie, and Avary!
