It’s not often that I walk into a session and discover my new favorite designer dog and that the parents of the barking beauty I’m photographing are an attractive young couple that want to get in the shots. Oh My Goodness, it was a dream come true! So let me tell you about Isabelle…she’s a three year old Ba-Shar. What’s a Ba-Shar? a designer breed made up of a basset hound and Sharpei mix. I’d never seen or heard of it before (I know what rock was I hiding under?) but I think it’s FABULOUS! Of course Isabelle (a.k.a Izzy) is a model of perfection for all the great things this breed has to offer - her color, head-wrinkles, and nose scream Sharpei and her body, legs, and personality are classic basset hound. To put both Isabelle’s and her parents adorability (yes, I make up words sometimes) into the words of Rachel Zoe, “I die.” Are they not just the cutest….

Here’s a sneak peak of little miss Mia and her Mom and Dad who love her so much. This is what FAMILY looks like… what LOVE looks like… what happens when you get the DREAM doggie-daughter who lights up your life. You can see and feel the MAGIC between them - it warms the heart…

What in the world am I going to do with my girls, Layla and Star?! They have this crazy habit of racing down the stairs. Last night I got caught in the cross fire coming down the stairs with them and was almost “taken out”. At 7 months old, both of them are 50+ pounds. I managed to grab the rail & brace myself but Layla stepped on the toes of my left foot so HARD that my second and third toes are bruised and throbbing; I’m actually limping a little. 
I love my girls, but this is a bad habit that I’m going to have to nip in the bud. Wish me luck - I’m going to need it!!
Does your barking beauty have a bad habit? They say talking about it helps…lets share laughs and stories. Share your dog’s most annoying habit with me by making a comment at the bottom of this post.

Saturday morning I had the bittersweet pleasure of photographing the sweetest senior dog, Duke. Duke’s Mom, who is a friend of mine, asked me to photograph him - he’s developed a tumor between his back legs, is losing weight, and the vet is indicating we don’t have a lot more time to be with him. This is very sad news for my friend as Duke has been a part of her family for all of his 12 years.
We went to the park for the shoot where Duke, his mom, his 4-footed sister Abby, his 2-legged sister MacKenzie, and 2-legged brother David could have what will probably be their last family outing together.
While there wasn’t much spring in his step he was totally alert, right by his family’s side, and having a good time enjoying the day. Duke’s affection for his family and their affection for him is undeniable and no distance will change that - each will be in the other’s heart , always.
here is Duke…

Sunday evening was the big Dog Days of Summer event, and it was tons of fun!
There were two short rain showers during the event but that didn’t stop a huge variety of dogs and their people from attending this fun event!
Here are just a few shots from the evening…
A big THANK YOU to everyone who attended and made this event a huge success! I, for one, had a blast!
