I’ve been neglecting my blog…

And I am sorry for that! I’ve been so busy with life that I haven’t made time to blog… and not only blog, but I haven’t made enough time to take photos for myself! I love shooting for myself, so why don’t I do it more often?

Here are two of my crazies – June Bug & Ninja. I was shooting Bug in the bed when Ninja hopped in, too… so he’s not quite in focus but for a personal shot it’s perfect!

Shot with the 5DII & 85 1.2. Love this combo!

The Boo and his dad: Southern California Pet and Dog Photography

Ninja gets a bad rap around here. He’s a Boston Terrier. Many call them Boston terrorists. He gets crazy when people come over, so often times we put him away while guests are visiting. So he becomes known as “The crazy one”. But really, he’s the sweetest one in the house. When he’s in the mood to be, anyway.

Here’s a few of him and his daddy. Everyone say “Awww.”

New, New, New: Southern California Pet and Dog Photography

In addition to the new year, Chris & I recently moved to a new house. It’s a nice upgrade from our old one, and we are so excited. I’ll have an office (yay!) the dogs have more room to race, and now we feel like we can have people over without being too crunched. Ya for that!

And just yesterday, I picked up a NEW camera. I’m excited, to say the least. This is a nice upgrade for me, and I am excited to see how it will help push my images further.

Here’s a few of Gabriel & Slava that I took this morning.

Studio Doggies

I’ve been having so much fun with my crazies and my studio setup. I absolutely love the gray backdrop. I have a few more colors and I am not sure I’ll ever bring them out to see the light of day! Well, when I am tired of this color, maybe. Ok, on to the photos!!

Ninja never gets his photo taken. Why not? I don’t know! Maybe because he runs from the camera. Or hides in the corner. He is so darn cute, isn’t he?

Gabriel. Does he really need an introduction? He’s handsome.

Slava Bean. Oh, poor Slava bean. We torture her.

And Odie. Let’s just say he wanted nothing to do with photos.
