I’ve been nominated again as one of LA’s Best Pet Photographers for 2009. The other nominees are fantastic photographers so it’s amazing to be in such good company.

If you enjoy my photography, I would appreciate it so much if you could please take a few minutes to cast your vote. Today is the last day to vote!

Much love and thanks in advance! And happy Friday.

What a treat it is to meet celebrities who are as cool, funny, and gracious as they seem in their movies and the media.

Bernie is a 16 week old pug - I love her sweet baby face.

Sherman is her 16 week old brother. I’ve never seen so many wrinkles on a pug before.

And Bonzo is the 10 month old first dog of the family. Have you ever seen such wonky eyes on a dog before?

I have no words to describe how much I love this next shot:

Last but not least is Anna’s cat Bella - she’s 17 years old and not quite as evil as she looks.

Thank you Anna and Chris for a fun, down to earth shoot with your adorable babies!

Freddie especially breaks my heart - he was adopted from The Dawg Squad eight years ago and was just returned after his family had their second child. But he’s so sweet and handsome, I’m sure he’ll find a great family soon!

Visit The Dawg Squad for more information on these dogs!

One of their programs, The Heigl’s Hounds of Hope, focuses on rescuing medium to large dogs from high-kill shelters throughout Southern California.

Here are some of their dogs that are looking for their forever homes. Many were rescued from the Mojave desert from a hoarder who had over 300 animals in terrible condition. Others were pulled from LA shelters right before euthanasia. For more information on these adoptable dogs, visit Heigl’s Hounds of Hope or become a friend on facebook.

I told Survivor a joke as I was taking this shot:

This next dog stole my heart - she has only 3 legs but extra heart!

And these next few doggies are available through The Dawg Squad!

Another 3-legged baby!

They’re so smart, photogenic, and look like little stuffed animals. Love love love them! They don’t even look real in some of these shots. Max and Grace’s dad won a shoot with me at a silent auction benefiting Much Love Animal Rescue.

Their lashes are to die for.

They’re 2 small dogs with big personality!

I adore this shot - the colors + expression on Dino’s face is priceless.

This little munchkin is Henry.

We were walking down a path when I saw Henry’s little feet splayed out across his dad’s back.

Dino has big stuffed animal paws!

Stinkin’ adorable:

I think my photo is in there as “January” which is just a guess based on where my thumbnail is on the back of the calendar : ) The photo is of little Helio, a Dawg Squad puppy that was available for adoption, sleeping on a cute striped pillow. (Don’t worry, he’s since been adopted!)

If you’d like a calendar please leave a comment - If there’s a lot of interest I’ll randomly pick 2 people.
