Before the Holidays and cold weather, I focused mainly on shooting dogs in their natural environment at home or playing outdoors. I love natural light, and getting the dogs candidly doing what they do: living and loving life.

This Holiday I was challenged to create X-mas portraits for the customers of FitDog Sports Club in Santa Monica. This project propelled me to expand my equipment base to include a backdrop and lights. In this environment it became essential to have an assistant to setup and keep the dogs in place while I shot. Thankfully my wonderful boyfriend volunteered to assist. He loves dogs as much as I do so the job was fun and a success! Take a look at some of the photos we created! Our customers are very pleased, and I am happy to now have a small indoor studio set.
