Hello hello! I’m still SWAMPED with advertising and photo work (when it rains, it pours people!) but wanted to share a sneak peek of a fun photo session I had last weekend with an adorable long haired chihuahua named Clinton. Clinton’s mama wanted fun photos that matched Clinton’s silly little personality and there really is no better place than the Santa Monica Pier for that kind of setting. (I did another photo shoot here months ago with Vivienne, the Italian greyhound puppy)

Ok now prepare yourself for some serious cuteness. This is what Clinton does when he really, really wants something. (In this case, some yummy dried sweet potato snacks I brought)

Thanks Erin for a fun photo shoot and for meeting me so early in the morning!

Hello hello!

Man it’s been an exhausting week. Moving homes, working on a TV commercial pitch, 14 hour days at the agency and photoshoots galore. Aren’t you tired just thinking about it?? I sure am. I’m barely alive and just waiting for this month to end so the chaos can finally die down.

Don’t know when I’ll be able to blog again, so thought I’d leave you with some cute shots of Cyrus the beautiful Newfoundland puppy I photographed last month. Until next time!

I photographed my first mini Labradoodle on Saturday who’s name is ALSO Luna! She’s the cutest, floppiest 8 month old Labradoodle puppy and also looks exactly like a lifesize Muppet.

Luna’s daddy happens to be Randy Spelling. (If you don’t know who is he, you need to crawl out from under that rock!) Luna’s mommy and daddy were incredibly kind and down to earth and I had a really awesome time photographing her. I think her best features are that textured fur, those eyes, and that little smile! AH, she kills me.

This is another really small sneak peek as the rest of Luna’s photos will be unveiled at a special gallery at Healthy Spot!

And Randy and Leah if you read this — hope you like the photos! Thanks for a fantastic photo session.

I wished for a little blond French bulldog to photograph, and along came Luna.

We had a fabulous photo shoot in Santa Monica on Saturday. (And funny enough, I had a photo shoot later in the day with ANOTHER Luna.) This is a really small sneak peek as the rest of Luna’s photos will be unveiled at a special gallery at Healthy Spot, which by the way I think is the best pet store in Santa Monica.
