Rex and Hercule | Dogs of Sydney

As a long time insta-stalker of these gorgeous squishy faced boys I might have done a little happy dance in my chair when their owner booked a session! I couldn't wait to finally meet them. Eventually mother nature cut me a break and let me schedule their shoot. We...
