The Oblen Family

I’ve been so bad about blogging these days, shame on me! I really need to get back into it...I’ve said this before, but I'm really going to try to keep up with this. (Promise!) My goal would be to eventually post one quick blog after each new session. So stay tuned! (*smirk)

In the meantime... I have been coming across so many sessions that I never posted.. so picking out some favorites and posting a few of them.

Meet the Oblen Family...one of my fave clients, ever. This family rocks! Paula is so fun to be around and she just oozes creativity. (psst...how adorable is her little boy!?!)

Pet Photography Session - Sneak Peek of Pixel

A few weeks ago my husband and I adopted a little dog from the shelter. (Well the funny part of the story is that I sort of adopted the dog without asking my husband first.. whoopsie! I called him right after I adopted him and then asked. hehe)

I was at the shelter to just walk around and look at the cats when I stumbled upon kennel #180 which held the little 4 year old “red-listed” creme stray dog. I’m not quite sure how to explain it but I just knew this little dude was meant for us, and I had to adopt him.

It’s been about three weeks since Pixel has been home with us and we are so in love with him, he’s truly amazing. (even my husband loves the little dude.) He was already house trained, has an amazing temperament, and loves being around people. This little guy is only 4 1/2 pounds but is full of so much love. He’s been such a blessing, we adore him and how much he’s brightened up our life. I can’t believe they were going to euthanize him, and breaks my heart that there are so many animals there just sitting and waiting to be saved.

If you or anyone you know is looking for a pet I highly suggest checking out your local shelter or rescue group. We adopted Pixel from the Orange County Animal Care Shelter in Orange. They have hundreds of amazing animals there. You can check out there site here. http://petadoption.ocpetinfo.com/animal2/

Remember, when you rescue a shelter dog your saving TWO lives. Not only are you saving the animal that you adopt but you’re also making more space for a new animal to come in and have the chance to be adopted.

{Here’s a sneak peek of “Mr. Pixel Magoo” aka Pixel. I’m hoping to do a mini photo session of him soon, until then here’s a picture that I snapped before a newborn session.}

Pet Photography Session

Meet “Woof Woof” the endearing 2 year old creme Frenchie that stole my heart. I got to doggy-sit this cutie for my friend while she was out of town for a few weeks.

My husband and I loved having him, and our Boxer enjoyed having a buddy to play with too. (*wink)

I love this breed, they are an absolute fave of mine! (I think I’m a sucker for those cute bat-like ears.) I just couldn't resist snapping some photos of him and his puppy dog eyes while he was staying with us.

Woof Woof was fabulous during the shoot..he must have been one of the most laid back dogs that I’ve ever photographed.

Psst. This handsome guy is from Toad Alley Frenchies near the San Francisco area, feel welcome to check out their site for more info about this breed.

You can sneak a peek of a little video of Mia (our Boxer) and Woof Woof playing and being PAWsome here: MIA & WOOF WOOF VIDEO CLIP.

Pet Photography

It’s no secret that I am a total animal lover at heart. I just can’t help myself, I have such a huge soft spot for animals. So I absolutely adore it when I get the chance to do some pet photography.

I really enjoy getting to meet all kinds of cute pups, and most of the time they are so sweet that I end up wanting to keep them! (hee hee)

This little girl is a Havanese named Avery. She has such a gentle and playful demeanor, and she was definitely a pro in front of the camera. She posed the whole time - so cute!

Here are some of the shots from our pet session. I just love the one where she has her head down on the rug, she looks like a little baby raccoon. (It’s my favorite shot of the day.)

Woof!
