Wishing you a happy and healthy 2012!

I’d like to share some of my favorite pet images from 2011. Enjoy!

Harts at Play

The following image of these three brothers, Cody, Logan and Owen, were inspired by a photo layout in a recent fashion magazine. Fashion is art!

And this is a another “Then and Now” moment. On the left, Cody in 2003 and on the right, Cody current day with Stella. Time sure flies and this is why I love what I do.

Hobart & Phedra

Hobart is a beautiful Somali mix. Very personable. He’ll walk right up to you as if requesting for a scratch by his ears. I think he is quite confident about his looks. Phedra is a calico. A little aloof. She is quite stunning with those beautiful green eyes and makes you feel it is a privilege to be in her presence. Hobart and Phedra had me wrapped around their paws while I followed them, with camera in tow, on their adventures.

Sambucca & Guinness

What GOOD DOGS! Sambucca, the big lovable chocolate Labrador loves to kiss kiss kiss! I think my whole face was wet! Guinness says “Hey don’t forget me!” and will try to beat Sambucca to reach and kiss your face! Love these guys!

Chicks!

Growing up in LA, I don’t know the first thing about raising chickens. A friend of mine is diving into the growing movement to raise Urban chickens. There are so many different types with their very distinct personalities. Besides, they are Super cute. I need to rename my Furry BFF category to include “Fuzzy.”

Santa is a Duck!

Here is Santa along with Dasher and Vixen.

[Actually it is avid University of Oregon fan Art Olmsted and his sweeties, Oscar and Lily]

Congratulations Club O!

Childhood Buddies

When photographing your little ones, something to keep in mind is to include their favorite buddies. In this case, Emi loves her “Bun Bun” sitting next to her and their family doggie, Gracie. Many years from now when Emi has kids of her own and she stumbles upon this photograph, hopefully fond memories of her beloved Bun Bun and Gracie will come flooding back.

Hunter

What a charming little man Hunter is. With those beautiful big blue eyes, he’ll steal your heart. And he LOVES his furry best friend, Max.

The bottom image is a design for a canvas gallery wrap – a unique keepsake to have in the family for years to come.

Bichons!

Joni — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 20:30:31 +0000

As I open the door of my car I am anxiously greeted by two white flashes of energy named Oscar and Lily. Their owner, Meredith, informs me that their namesakes are from “French” designers Oscar de la Renta and Lily of France in tribute to their breed’s origins. Breaking French Designer stereotypes of being “haughty”, these two are warm, playful, charismatic and very very entertaining!

For this home portrait session, I used the big bay windows to provide the back light separating the back of the doggies’ head from the leopard print background. A speedlight shooting through an umbrella on a light stand is placed just off to camera right. Milan get ready for these two adorable hotties!

Adorable Husky Pup

Sometimes curious puppies get up close and personal. This little guy received lots of attention at this past Saturday’s St Andrew Legal Clinic’s Race for Justice.
