This is Sandy, aka “Sanderson Cooper.” I took photos like this of Keyser and Ripley during COVID. I set up a makeshift “photo studio” in the garage and tried to coerce as many friends and family as possible to let me practice. That included our dogs. Ripley has since passed and Sandy is the newest addition to our family. She’s almost 10 months old.

After the COVID restrictions were released, the studio equipment was disassembled and placed in storage boxes. Yesterday, we brought the equipment back out so I could take some graduation photos for a friend who didn’t like how her official shots turned out. Before she arrived, I couldn’t resist getting Sandy in front of the black backdrop. So, this is her official debut here on this site. 🙂
