Cooper the St. Bernard, Riley’s New Puppy Sibling!

Friday, April 29th, 2016

Eeeeeeek! I’m so excited to share this cute little fluffer-butt with you!! Are you ready for this blog post to make your day? ;)

You might remember Riley the border collie/husky mix from his session several months ago. I absolutely loved working with him – he’s a gorgeous dog – and I figured he’d never have any competition for the title of “most adorable” member of his family. Turns out, I thought wrong. He has serious competition… because his parents just adopted a St. Bernard puppy.

Cooper is the new puppy in the family, a too-cute-for-words ball of pure fluff! He’s already 40 pounds, at only a few months old, and he’s expected to tip the scales at 130-150 lbs when fully grown. He’ll be BIG – but I’m excited to watch him grow, since his parents are Clients for Life – which means I’ll get to see Cooper on a (somewhat) regular basis! I have a feeling he’s just going to get more & more handsome as he grows up, too… he has the sweetest demeanor, he just wants to snuggle and lay down all the time. He doesn’t run around like crazy, he doesn’t chew on things or bark; he’s just a well-behaved, calm puppy, and I’m pretty sure he spoiled me for working with any more puppies in the future since he was sooooo easygoing! Haha!

 

This photo is proof that A) Cooper is ridiculously adorable, and B) I have the best job in the world. Seriously.

We spent a lot of time sniffing & exploring. He’s a curious boy, but very content to just “be”, and he’s never far from his parents & brother. Cooper’s just happy to stay close and relax with his family!

Okay, okay, I couldn’t let Cooper have the whole spotlight today! Riley is such a beautiful boy. And he’s taken to being a caring, protective big brother for Cooper – they get along great and I even saw a flash of Riley’s protective instincts during our session when we passed by another dog. These two are going to grow up to be best friends. (Extremely fluffy best friends.)

Oh Cooper. You are too cute for words.

Mackenzie & Jonas, I had a blast at our session! It’s an honor to document your growing family, and I’m so excited to watch your little new puppy get really big! :)

Disco & Rambo, Chihuahua Mix Dogs from San Diego!

Wednesday, April 6th, 2016

You know you’re in for a fun photo session when the dogs are named Disco and Rambo! Ha!

These adorable chihuahua mix dogs are from San Diego, and I met them & their mom at Old Poway Park recently! It was a great location for a photo session, since there was plenty of lush green grass and room to run around, not to mention train tracks and flowers too – but I can’t take any credit for deciding to go there! It was totally their mom’s idea, and I’m SO glad she suggested it! The dogs loved exploring the grassy areas (they loved it a bit too much, haha – after a bit of freedom we decided that leashes might be necessary!) but they were happiest in their mom’s arms… they’re absolutely devoted to her, which was really touching to see. They’re a happy little family and I was thrilled to document their personalities!

 

This is Disco, and he’s outgoing & confident, always ready for the next challenge. He’s incredibly smart and has something to “say” to everyone that walks by – and honestly, he was fantastic to work with! I mean, those ears? Are you kidding me?!

This is Rambo, and unlike his namesake, he’s a timid little guy who’s not quite as outgoing as his brother. But he follows Disco’s lead in pretty much everything, and I found it really enjoyable to see their relationship – because Disco’s presence gives Rambo so much confidence! He really comes out of his shell when he’s with his brother and feels comfortable, and it was pretty adorable to see.

Seriously, this trio – they’re all gorgeous! And these pups are so cute together! :)

Veronica, thank you for a lovely afternoon! I’m excited to see you again soon & show you the rest of our images! :)

Maggie May, the Shepherd Puppy from Escondido!

Friday, March 4th, 2016

I canNOT properly express to you how EXCITED I was for this photo session! I had the pleasure of seeing my wonderful clients again to capture the newest member of their sweet family – Maggie the puppy! Maggie has basically won the puppy lottery… she gets to join this awesome family with two big brothers and two loving parents, and she’s soaking it all up as the center of attention these days! Maggie’s family rescued her from the Humane Society in Escondido just a couple of months ago, and ever since her mom texted me a picture of her sweet little face, I’ve been itching to meet her! (And even better: her parents didn’t pay a dime for this photo session, since they’re in my Clients for Life program! Curious? Contact me and I’ll tell you all about it.) She’s a mixed-breed shepherd puppy of some sort – but honestly, who cares about her breeding with that adorable face?! And although she gets on her brothers’ nerves a little – okay, a lot – she’s going to grow into the most loving, devoted little sister they could ever have, I just know it. (Even if she’s only “little” in age; I think she might end up 20 lbs bigger than either of them!) But I was honored to meet her at the beginning of her life – so here are a few of my favorite images of this spunky little shepherd puppy!

 

Oh, that smile. And those lopsided ears!

happy shepherd puppy

 

We found a few sticks in the park… which held Maggie’s attention for a record-breaking 5 whole seconds…

She’s painfully cute.

And she loves to run! I think she’ll grow up to be an incredible athlete!

Trisha & Daniel – it was absolutely wonderful to see you again, as usual! I’m looking forward to getting together again soon! :)

San Diego German Shepherds Garnet & Iroh! (Photos)

Saturday, February 27th, 2016

To be completely honest with you, whenever I get the chance to work with shepherds, I get excited about it! Especially German shepherds: they’re gorgeous dogs, they’re intelligent & quick, they do amazing work with our military & police, and I think my Bailey might even have a bit of German shepherd in her genetic history! So you better believe when I had the chance to meet these beautiful San Diego German shepherds, I couldn’t have been happier! :)

 

Garnet & Iroh are brother and sister (technically, aunt & nephew); Garnet is 2.5 years old and Iroh is 6 months old, so there’s a little bit of an age gap – but Iroh is doing his best to make up for lost time! He absolutely idolizes his big sister, you can tell: he whimpers if she ever walks away, and never wants to be more than two inches apart from her. But along with that adorable puppy love (ha!) he’s still a typical little brother, always stealing her toys, wanting to wrestle and giving her a hard time. And the best part? As much as Garnet puts on the appearance of barely tolerating his puppy antics, you can tell that she adores him just as much! For example, during our time in the studio, Iroh had to take a potty break, and the whole time he was outside Garnet simply waited by the door, impatient & inconsolable! So I love that these dogs have truly found their best friend in each other, and I was thrilled to meet them near the very beginning of their friendship, since I know they get to enjoy many more years to come together. :)

 

Garnet (left) and Iroh (right) did soooo well in the studio! They posed like champs – and I love their head tilts, haha!

That gorgeous shepherd profile just gets me… gosh, Garnet is so beautiful.

We headed outdoors to Mission Trails Regional Park, where the dogs got to stretch their legs a bit! Iroh especially had a blast!

And we finished up at the beach in La Jolla, where the dogs played and danced in the last light of the day.

Natalie & Ben, I had a great time with all four of you! I’m excited to show you the rest of our images soon! :)

Mixed Breed Dogs Maya, Rumi & Bella! (San Diego, CA)

Friday, February 26th, 2016

I’m so excited to introduce you to these adorable mixed breed dogs – because their session was a LONG time in the making! But it was definitely worth the wait, and I’m thrilled about the images we created together!

Maya is an Australian shepherd mix, about 10 years old, and one of the sweetest, happiest dogs I’ve ever met. She knows what she wants and doesn’t hesitate to ask for it, haha! Rumi is a 9-year-old Collie mix and, let’s be honest, he was blessed with the handsome looks of the family! He’s the only boy of the trio, and I simply can’t get enough of his gorgeous red coat & dashing smile. And Bella – Miss Bella! – she’s the most independent pup of the whole group! Her parents think she’s a border collie/lab mix, and I think she might have some shepherd in her heritage as well, but whatever breeds make up her DNA, she’s a big, fluffy mutt with a huge smile and an admirable independent spirit, so I really loved working with her! Together, these three mixed breed dogs have a TON of personality, and our session was loads of fun! For our session, we started at gorgeous Balboa Park, and then stopped at Sunset Cliffs, and finally gave the dogs a fun beach trip to Fiesta Island… so I have to admit, it was a very “San Diego” photo session! Here’s just a sneak peek of all our images… there are plenty more where these came from! ;)

 

This is Maya – I just love her sweet, whitening face & contented smile.

And here’s Bella – one of the fluffiest mutts I’ve ever met, haha! And don’t you love those lopsided ears?

Last but certainly not least, this is Rumi, and if you don’t fall in love with his handsome smile I think there might be something wrong with you.  ;)

Vinod & Marilyn, I’m so glad we finally had the chance to get together! I’m looking forward to seeing you both again soon! :)
