Life with a dog is always going to be more interesting than living without one. Dogs help us to live in the moment and embrace the unexpected. During their engagement session with Madison photographer Romulo Ueda, their dog, Jackson, the Border Collie, had a lot of fun. Romulo captured plenty of action shots while Jackson provided the entertainment.
From Brian: “Jackson is an eight-year-old Border Collie who is the best dog that has ever lived. We got him from a farm in Tennessee, where both of his parents were active sheep dogs. 
His interests include frisbees, swimming, ice cubes, and convincing us that he is, in fact, a lap dog. We are thoroughly convinced that he is one of the seven.”
Romulo’s photos tell a story that I’m sure their family will always treasure.
Jackson sure seems to enjoy himself where ever he is.
Brian and Patti’s reaction just made my day. I love that Jackson’s antics entertained them instead of causing distress.
Something tells me that life will never be boring with Jackson around.

That jackson looks like he is so much fun. Such a nice photoshoot and I wish the happy couple good luck and enjoy that lapdog.
I love these family photos. You can see the joy in everyone’s faces. The fall colors are gorgeous as well.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these pictures and stories! You can see they all love each other so much. Great pictures.
I love Border Collies, they are smarter than most people and a lot more fun. But they do need a job to do.
What a beautiful dog, and great companion! I would love to have a dog like this when I move out of the city!
Jackson seems like a free spirit who always manages to keep things exciting. The action shots are my favorite. An energetic sweetheart for sure!
These photos are so beautiful, it was so wonderful to learn more about this family.
These are amazing photos! Looks like you guys are really having fun together. Love that dog!
Looks like life with Jackson is not going to be boring at all. He seems so playful. Great shots as always. Love the colors of fall as backdrop.
These photos turned out amazing. I especially love the second one it came out absolutely perfect!
I see not just a little mischeviousness in that pup! Ha! I love that he likes icecubes, so do I! So adorable.
You are so creative. These photos capture that sweet dog and his parents so adorably.
I love these photos and the reaction captured when Jackson decided to go for a swim!
What a cutie! He’s so full of energy and personality. My pup is still a puppy, but I hope she maintains some of her spunk as she ages.
A very pretty dog! I love these photos, really show happiness and personality!
I love family photos where they include their fur family as well! Look how well behaved Jackson is!
These moments captured “on film” are just gorgeous! Jackson is a beautiful dog. Our friend had a Border Collie and just an amazing, energetic, smart working dog (she was a horseback riding trainer and her dog helped!) What special photos to have. I’d want to enlarge them all onto canvas!
