I spent my afternoon with two adorable, sweet, silly chihuahuas – and I’m so excited to introduce you to them!

Foxy & Munchkin are two sisters who live in San Diego, and they couldn’t be more different from one another. Foxy is outgoing, energetic, and will do anything for treats! I commented to her mom that I think she has two speeds: “go” and “go faster”! She definitely doesn’t have a “stop” button, that’s for sure, haha… it was so funny to see her race around my studio & Balboa Park all afternoon – mostly in search of treats! Munchkin, on the other hand, is a much calmer dog. She was perfectly willing to wait for the good treats to come out – not just any treats, the extra-smelly ones – and she has a dubious case of “selective hearing”. But she was lots of fun to work with, and it was definitely a fun challenge to balance her personality with Foxy’s! We started our photo session in the studio, and then spent most of our time together out at the park. Doing pet photography in Balboa Park is always a bit tricky since it’s such a popular destination, but I’m thrilled with our results and so glad we braved the crowds there! So without further ado, take a look at a few of Foxy & Munchkin’s images…

This is Munchkin, in the studio! I love her soft, cream coloring and big eyes…

… but it was at Balboa Park that her personality really came out! She posed like a pro for the camera!

This is Foxy, amidst the flowers & caught in a rare moment of standing still! (I had to make sure I was using a super-fast shutter speed with this little firecracker, haha!)

I love all the architecture at Balboa Park, and in my opinion, Foxy makes the scene even prettier.

Joanna, thank you for introducing me to your awesome little dogs! I’m excited to show you the rest of our photos soon! :)
