Piper-- Bernese Mountain Dog

I first met Piper at the Animal Welfare Association's Paws and Feet Walk. Piper ended up being one of the winners, and I was so excited to set up our session. Sue (her mommy) and I both wanted to find a location where Piper would be comfortable. You see, as many women will tell you, we suffer for our beauty and Piper gets hot pretty easy. We settled on a gorgeous farm location in Cherry Hill, NJ and after being rained out once finally got together.

Piper was such a refreshing and lovely dog. I enjoyed her session so much. She always seems happy and has that fantastic doggy smile on her face. Piper also has Lyme's disease. Sue isn't going to let that get Piper down though, and is even taking her to water therapy once a week. You would never know it with this sweet girl.

Not that she told me or anything, but I'm pretty sure Piper's philosophy on life would be- Don't get the tough things in life get you down; just keep smiling. And hope for some yummy hot dogs.

Thanks for having me Sue and Piper! I hope you like your photos!

Super model on the bridge.

Look at that inquisitve look! This was the only photo I have of her without that big smile, but doesn't she look so darn cute?

Some more Oni!

Sorry I've been a little absent. We have 1,900,654.32 things going on right now, including trying to find the perfect paint color. Ugh. Thank you so much to those of you who have left me comments, also. They truly brighten my day.

But to brighten up everyone's day, here's some more of the super happy ONI!

The above is Oni playing with her CUZ ball that every doggie gets during a shoot.

Also, if everyone could shoot some thoughts and prayers out, we are taking Llana to the vet today. She's having a bit of a back slide and is coughing again.

Fingers crossed.

I needed more Teddy in my life

Some more Teddy pics from our session on Saturday. Here's a secret I'll share with you, but brace yourself: Teddy is ELEVEN! His mom actually took out his birth certificate because she knew I wouldn't believe her. He is so spunky and has such a spark about him no one ever thinks he is as old as he is.

Here's to many more years with your wonderful Mommy and Daddy. Thank you for having me!

Sneak Peak:

Meet Oni, the happiest, bounciest red Labradoode I've ever met. Her Mommy and Daddy Sarah and Terry mentioned that they were thinking about getting another Labradoodle puppy. And that's when I melted into a puddle on the ground.

Look for a longer post soon!

Princess Bella

Meet Princess Pomeranian Bella. Bella knows she is a princess and demands a quota of attention and belly rubs every day. Her session was a surprise for her Mommy from her son and his girlfriend, who informed me she had not been eating her treats. I whipped out my trusty bag of organic salmon treats and she couldn't get enough. Perhaps the others weren't just to up to Princess Bella's standards that day?

After our session we had a nice time on the couch where we played with her new Cuz squeaky toy and I gave her some nice belly rubs. I think its safe to say I made a new friend. Try to tell me I don't have a great job.

Neko

After a long trip from a high euthanasia shelter down South, Neko is now safe at home with the Boardman family: Noah, Stephanie, and Noah Jr. Unfortunatly the weather didn't hold out, but more images to come. It's faces like this that make me want to run out and give Bear a brother or sister. Kidding honey... kinda.
