A pair of adorable Border Collies snuggling up to each other surrounded by stunning flowers is among the sweetest portraits taken by a photographer in the fields of Slovakia.
Breeds including Australian shepherds and Dalmatians were also seen posing or bounding through the fields as they had their portraits taken by professional pet photographer, Veronika Shandor.
One Dalmatian was seen peeping through the flowers and looking straight down the camera lens, while a seven-year-old border collie looked adorable as it rested its chin on a bed of petals.
In other portraits, adorable pups were seen cosying up to one another or excitedly leaping through the flowers with their tongues out.
Ms Shandor, an award-winning photographer from Bratislava, Slovakia, said: ‘I enjoy capturing the true nature of dogs, especially when my photo brings a smile to the dog owner’s face,’ she said.
‘I love it when dogs are natural and enjoy the photo shoot.
‘While taking photos, I ensure that the dog model enjoys the process and doesn’t even realise that he/she is being photographed.
‘Sometimes, it takes longer to capture the perfect shot, while other times, the photo shoot is completed in just a few minutes.
Ms Shandor, who won the domesticated animal category at the international FEP awards in April, added: ‘I have two of my own dogs, a blue merle and a red merle border collie, who are my partners in crime and wonderful models.’
