Anita and Daniel are getting married in South Korea. Anita asked me to take a few engagement photos of them before the nuptials, so we decided on Arroyo Seco Bridge in Pasadena and the park below it for the dramatic landscape. They brought their dog, Bailey, along to the shoot, because sometimes the photos don’t feel complete without the whole family there!
Congratulations, you two! It was so great meeting you!

I love dogs. Like, I really love dogs. I love dogs more than I love most humans. So whenever I get to photograph one, I go bananas.
Or in Austin the Golden Retriever’s case, we go chicken bologna.
I met up with Austin and his mom and dad the same day I shot Lindy and Jason’s engagement session. It was such a fun end to the day, Austin ran around and played with his toys and showed off his tricks in exchange for some chicken bologna. (Luckily, that stuff isn’t as fattening as the classic kind so Austin can watch his figure.)
On top of being really smart, cute and friendly, Austin is also a therapy dog which makes him a well-rounded badass. (Read: I wish I could clone him.)
Don’t you want to just cuddle him right now? I know I do.

One thing I’m learning quickly as I build my business is plans can change. I originally had three photoshoots planned for this weekend and one by one this week they all fell through.
Luckily, I still got to get in some good camera practice in with my dog, Olive. She’s always willing to strike a pose. That is, if I have something for her in return.
Behold, the power of bacon treats.

We babysat Olive’s sister Laika this weekend. There was a lot of energy happening in my apartment. A lot.
I really wanted to take the girls to the Hollywood dog park to get that energy out, but that didn’t happen once we stepped outside. It was about 1,000 degrees this past weekend. And I don’t know about you, but being outside in heat like that is just the worst. High temperatures also increase the chances for short-nosed dogs to overheat, and dead dogs are like, not as fun as the alive ones. Laika’s owners probably wouldn’t have been too happy with me.
So, we spent the day in air conditioning, playing with toys and running around like crazies. I was able to get the girls to sit still long enough for a few pictures. Treats were involved.
Now that Laika is safe and home and not at all overheated, we are all enjoying a lazy Sunday. Olive is catching up on some Zzz’s.
