Kitties!

Wow - now these are some beautiful cats! These three furbabies are all from the same house and just really really gorgeous. They are all so different yet they each have such unique features. They were very well behaved too let me move them around and position them and were just so mushy and lovable! I decided I love doing pet photos, specifically cats! This is one of my favorite pet shoots to date!


Miata...





Kitrina, a.ka. "kitty" - love her eyes!



Harley….







I love her fluff!

Stick your tongue out!

The Wishful Lamb is running a photo contest this week and I thought it would be fun to enter! The contest is pretty straight forward...to post a picture of tongues! I immediately thought of at least 3 cute photos that would work for this contest! I actually feel so lucky to have my Digital SLR camera with a fast shutter because I am able to capture these exact moments (which sometimes happen too fast to catch with my point and shoot).

Anyway...hope you like them!

This is Barkley, he is a Bijon Frise



This Penny, she is a Cock-A-Poo



This last photo is a tad out of focus but I still thought it was cute! This is a stray cat I saw in Cinque Terre!

Guess who's back?

Back again? Penny's back! Tell a friend! Guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back. LOL - I woke up with that song in my head and decided to work it into this post today. I always wake up with random songs in my head, I find it odd actually - but sometimes it is uplifting because I will start singing to myself as I get ready! Anyway, this was definitely ironic because Penny's mommy, Samantha, is a big Eminem fan so what are the chances that I wake up with that song in my head the day I am blogging about her dog?!

Anyway I had another shoot with Penny at her 5 month birthday! Penny's first shoot went really well and this one was even better because she has had all her shots and and is allowed outside! I am starting to really LOVE pet photography too by the way. It is a real challenge, especially shooting little hyper puppies but I really enjoy it and am loving this set so much! Penny is so fun to be around and it's cute to see her running here and there and biting on on the cuff's of Sam's pants, picking up one toy, then dropping it and immediately picking up another one, etc. I think she finally tired out at the end and settled in for a few portraits with her mommy! Much love to Sammy and Penny!

Little Puppy Penny

I cannot get enough of this dog! One of my best friends just got the most adorable dog, a mixed breed Cocker Spaniel and Poodle, aka "Cockapoo" and she is just the sweetest thing! I think she may actually be part teddy bear because she really looks like a stuffed animal in some of these pictures!

Penny was less than 2 months old in her first photo shoot and just a bundle of energy! I actually managed to get her to sit still for a few shots and think I really captured her doggy beauty! Congrats to my bff Samantha on your new little baby - I cannot wait to document Penny's growth throughout the year and probably for the rest of her life! Thank god she is not camera shy :)

Max

Maximus, aka Max, aka Max-Trax, aka Maxie, aka Maxie-Moe and the list of nicknames goes on but he all I can say is he is the sweetest dog you'll ever meet! He is my parent's 4 1/2 year old mutt who was born in the woods and rescued as a puppy by a shelter in Connecticut. He is believed to be part Lab and part German Shepherd (or what we call a "Shepador") and his personality shines through as both of those breeds. He is very loving, mushy and eager to please but also a great watch dog and has a bark and growl that can scare away any mail man or UPS guy! He loves to go on long walks and especially loves running with Dana and can do about 5-6 miles at a time! He takes very good care of his family and often does circles or rotations around the house at night to make sure everyone is safe in their beds! We love him with all of our hearts and how couldn't you - just look at that face.....
