🐾 Meet My Golden Retriever: Life Lessons from My Furry Muse

Oct 6, 2025 | By: Deborah J Chetwood

If you’ve spent any time around Texas Vogue Photography, you’ve probably noticed my soft spot for Golden Retrievers. Truth is, we’re on our fifth golden boy, and each one has been a gift—unique in personality, but always full of love, loyalty, and gentle spirit.

These boys have been more than pets. They’ve been part of our family. They've grown up alongside our child, sat patiently by my side through long editing nights, and welcomed every guest with the kind of warmth only a golden can give.

A Legacy of Goldens

Each of our Goldens has taught me something different—about patience, joy, presence, and unconditional love. They remind me daily that life’s most beautiful moments often come in the quiet, simple spaces: a wagging tail, a knowing look, a walk at golden hour.

Our current golden (like his predecessors) has become a sort of in-house muse. While he doesn’t hold a camera or schedule appointments, he plays a big role in reminding me why I do what I do. He approaches every day with joy, lives fully in each moment, and greets every person as if they’re already a friend.

A Photographer’s Best Friend

Whether I’m prepping for a session or winding down after a long day, he’s always there—by my feet in the studio, curled up nearby while I edit, or waiting to go outside and soak up the sunshine. He reminds me to slow down, savor the now, and appreciate the little things.

That presence, that spirit—that’s what I try to bring into every session. Because just like the love I’ve received from these incredible dogs, the moments I capture for you are meant to feel genuine, heartfelt, and timeless.

So here’s to my boys—past and present—who have each, in their own way, inspired the heart behind the lens.
