What a perfect afternoon I had earlier this week when Malibu and his “mom (aka Jenny) came over for some photos. Who doesn’t melt when they see a puppy…and want to hold and cuddle them and smell their sweet little puppy breath…it’s truly irresistble! This little gal is just 12 weeks old and is a shih tzu-poodle mix and was so much fun. We started in the back yard and boy, did she have a great time, exploring, smelling and trying to eat pinecones and mushrooms (not the good ones!) while out there…she finally used up some excess energy and we then headed to the studio…a bit more confining and not quite as much to check out (though she still did lots of exploring!). Such a fun session…I think that next to kids…animals are my next favorite thing to photograph…okay, so I like most things…kids, animals, moms, dads, seniors, couples…and the list goes on!
Oh…doesn’t get any better than a belly scratching while lying in the cool grass!!
Ahh, little Malibu snuggled up close to her mom…such a sweet little pup…though they say she has a bit of the devil in her as well…but then again, don’t most puppies!!
Now, to keep her still, we would have not been successful had we started in the studio…it took some exercise and of course, a few little treats don’t hurt!! Okay, and truth be told, I was making all sort of strange and odd sounds to keep her attention on me…quite entertaining to the “humans,” I’m sure!!
Hmm, a rubber ducky, something she hadn’t seen before…you can see how bit she isn’t by comparison to this little duck!
Thank you, Jenny and Malibu, for a fun afternoon session…you two were great!!
Thank you Laura and Kinsley…I really enjoyed the session and look forward to seeing Kinsley as she continues to grow and change. 
This couple is GREAT together…and their wedding was wonderful and to be a part of such a great day was our (my husband and myself) pleasure. We started out early and went late into the evening…and I must say that we were exhuasted by the end of the night, but also excited at what we were able to capture for Megan and Derek on their special day!! And, the weather really couldn’t have been better…it wasn’t too warm or too cool…and ideal for the outdoor wedding and reception…this had to be a sign of a great future for them…everything falling into place! The wedding took place at Snoqualmie Point Park (GREAT location…check it out sometime, beautiful view!!) and the reception was help at in the groom’s back yard which backs up to Shady Lake in Renton…and that was a fabulous location!! Couldn’t have been a better day!
The groom and his best man (brother)…hmmm, they look a bit different in later photos, wonder why?!! TOO much fun for these guys!
All the little details for the bride…such fun to make sure it’s all taken care of…and all SO worth it when you see how beautiful she is!!!
