"In my opinion, the American Cocker Spaniel puppy is one of the most beautiful of all the various breeds of puppies. Their expression, balance, size and flowing coat all come together to make these puppies a beautiful package.

"I placed the puppies in the setting of a darkly shaded room on a simple down comforter so as not to distract from their beauty and expression. I wanted to emphasize the look and feel of softness with differing textures."
