An impromptu shoot with the dog in the yard. Oh I cannot wait for more sunshine and blue skies. I have a feeling this summer is going to be AWESOME.



Two of my favorite things: my dog and the green outdoors. Swoon.

It only took me 2 years to do (and several hours of picking and editing my favorite images), but I finally have a newly updated dogs gallery on my website. A few of the images are the same, but most of them are new, and as always, I pay homage to each individual dog by placing their name (and now location too) on their image.
Go check it out here: Cowbelly dogs gallery

I received this super sweet comment via email about my dogs gallery from a gal here in my city:
“I stumbled across your website and wanted to let you know that I think you do amazing work! I had a really crap day, and seeing the doggies in your gallery TOTALLY made my day so much better. Thank you!!!”
And thank YOU Tala, you made MY day!
It’s that time of year. Time to celebrate the fact that this very pet photography business has survived and thrived for one more year. (Whoopee!).
The date of the Pawty will be Sunday July 19th, 2009.
Like last year, this year’s celebration will be on the super dog friendly Whidbey Island, one of Fergie and my favorite places. Pinching myself that we get to go back again so soon. I’m still relaxed from the last time we were there!
First we’ll take a ferry to get over there. Fergie will stand on the front of the boat with the wind going up her nose, which she loves to do.

Once on the island, we’ll start off at the fabulous Marguerite Brons off-leash park, and run through the miles of fully fenced wooded trails and romp in their grassy meadow.

After some rest in the shady grass and a big bowl of water, we’ll head to Langley to the much-lauded Useless Bay Coffee Company and dine on their delectable paninis and partake of their yummy caffeinated beverages.

Once we’ve had our fill there, we’ll head down to the stupendous Double Bluff beach and play in the surf, tan on the shore and just generally have a laugh-filled, happy-making, memory-creating awesome time.

I will bring my camera of course and take pictures of the pups as they go on these adventures. Any past or present or future client or friend/fan of Cowbelly is welcome to come! Just don’t make me talk about business, as much as I love Cowbelly, this day is supposed to be a little vacation for us all, and will be all about the dogs! And before you ask, yes, Fergie will be available to sign pawtographs, hee hee.
Please send Christina and I an email to info@cowbelly.com titled ‘Whidbey Party’ if you’d like to come and we’ll give you the whole low-down in terms of timing and where to meet and directions, etc.
So super psyched that I made it 6 years and am looking forward to the next 6 even more. I’m so loving my job right now it’s ridiculous. Life rocks!
My apologies for my absence! I have a lot going on right now with Cowbelly. I’ll share with you guys as soon as I can, but for now, please enjoy some more images of Jack and Blu, two super fun boys whose shoot fell on one of the nicest days of the year thus far.
