Beamer, Susan & Danny sweet times 3!

This was a beautiful sunny fall day, to spend "working" with my dear friends Susan, Danny and their sweet pup Beamer. These two were so relaxed which made my job super easy. Beamer was such a good boy, not diving in after the ducks swimming in the pond. Geez, what was I thinking when I scouted that location? To be fair there weren't any birds of any kind near or in that pond!

I was fortunate enough to meet Susan years ago through art. She  hired me to do her head shot for MARN's Art Treasure Hunt event we were both in. She's a sweetheart and we became fast friends. Danny too is a sweet guy. Beamer well, he's just too adorable for words. His whole body wiggles when he greets me. Sweetness all around!

The bubble photo (top photo) I asked Susan to explain to me about the bubbles Beamer creates. "When I go to the bank he starts blowing bubbles when I pull up to the drive through."

Susan's an incredibly talented illustrator. Check out her art here. http://www.susantolonen.com/
You can see by her stye, you just know Susan has a big heart.

What do you get when you combine a silly little pug, Cosmo, and a sweet Boxer/Pitty, Lulu, mixed with relaxed owners? A fun and silly shoot!

Ella 7 months later

I met and photographed Ella back at the end of Jan. of this year. She was just a lil sweet pea then. Fast forward to her crawling and some walking. We played games like eat the fence, now eat the grass! We ended our shoot with a good ole fashioned peek a boo.

Link & Limo

Link and Limo greeted me with barks and licks on a warm summer day. From my experience, Dachshunds have a crazy amount of energy and joy packed in their long, low-riding bodies! Link is a standard and Limo is a mini Dachshund. Needless to say they had me giggling the whole time! * Fun fact * the red-brown colored pup is named Link, inspired by the hot dog and the black & tan pup,Limo - named after a stretch limo *
