Moments in Focus
Meet Hummus!
(Yes…best name ever!)
Hummus is a sweet black lab puppy. He is currently being trained for a very important job!
Hummus is a part of Canine Companions in Williamsburg, VA.
[Canine Companions] “provides service dogs to adults, children, and veterans with disabilities and facility dogs to professionals working in healthcare, criminal justice and educational settings.”
Hummus is being trained by the amazing @raising.puppies (IG). This is the third dog in training that I have photographed with @raising.puppies. Hummus will stay in his current home for about 18 months and then will move on to the next stage of training. I am lucky enough to be able to photograph Hummus again at 18 months and see how he has grown.
Fun Fact…Hummus is the son of the last dog I photographed for @raising.puppies…Gage. We also photographed Gage as a pup and at 18 months.
Check out Gage’s puppy images at the end of this post.
The type of job Hummus will hold will be determined when he is older. Now he is just focusing on learning great puppy manners!

Fall for Fido: Can't-Miss Dog Events in Williamsburg
Fall in Williamsburg is a gorgeous time with so many things to do around town! And what better way to enjoy Williamsburg than with your pup? Dogs make everything more fun, right?!
Check out Fall inspired crafts at 2nd Sundays Williamsburg Art and Music Festival
On October 12, bring Fido out for music, magicians, food, and handmade crafts. 2nd Sundays features over 180 artists, food vendors, and musicians on the second Sunday of each month from March to December. Take a walk through 6 blocks downtown from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
Peep Some Leaves
Free and simple…my favorite type of outing. You can catch beautiful leaves turning vibrant colors all over town. A classic spot to start is Duke of Gloucester Street. If you really want to push your walk over the edge of color, head over close to sunset. As you enjoy the leaves, you can add in beautiful colors throughout the sky. One more bonus, hang out until the lighting of the cressets.
Celebrate at the 3rd Annual Williamsburg Fall Festival
Hosted by Midtown Row and CultureFix, the 3rd Annual Williamsburg Fall Festival will be popping up at 200 College Row. This free event occurs November 1, 2025 from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Drop by with Pup for live music, craft beer, snacks and fun for the family. Costumes are even encouraged.
