Here is a beautiful little baby pit face. For the life of me, I can’t remember his name! :-( I photographed him during a fundraising event event so my time with him was really brief, but ever so sweet.

So…

Happy Friday Face!

Midnight & Maui

May 10th, 2010  

When I first started my Cool Pets business it was strictly black and white film photography. No color, and definitely no digital color. Of course, now I do include digital color in my sittings, and I love the variety it offers. But, when I look at all of the “strictly black and white” sessions I have done I am reminded of the charm and basic “coolness” of black and white film.

Midnight and Maui were one of those sessions. Melissa and Kevin, Midnight and Maui. I remember it like it was yesterday. The weather was strange…overcast and foreboding. We weren’t sure if the sky was going to open up at any minute, but we persevered. Eryn was along with me as we photographed the Mauribers, and created some great memories. I still smile when I look at these images.

I recently connected with Melissa through my facebook fan page and found out that Midnight passed away last spring. He was a wonderful friend to Kevin and Melissa and I am honored to have met him and spent that afternoon with all of them.

Here’s a tribute to Midnight, and a storyboard of some great moments from our session.

Dear sweet Annie. She is the busiest, sweetest little girl. Just look at those innocent eyes. Adorable!

I’m off to see Annie and her mom this afternoon to show them all of the photos! Can’t wait!

Happy Friday Face!

Bostons. They are really, really cool dogs.

And, Pepper? She is the first Boston I have photographed! That makes her an original! :-)

Happy Friday Boston Face!!

beautiful samantha

March 29th, 2010  

Samantha couldn’t have been a more perfect model. She slept the absolute entire time. I put so many hats on her, and put her into two cocoons and basically moved her all around the room as the light changed. But, she still slept…like an angel. Samantha’s mom, Jackie, was busy during our session. She had to run down to the bus stop and get Samantha’s brother, fix him lunch and keep him happy. The whole house was a bustle of activity, but still Samantha slept!!

Gorgeous!

a very cool cat

March 21st, 2010  

It’s not a secret…I love cats. Really love them. When I get a call for a cat session I am very excited. And, when I met Samson, I was super excited. Not only is Samson incredibly gorgeous, but he is HUGE. I found myself just staring at him in amazement, he was so big! And he’s just so cool and laid back.

Although he is not a huge player, he did enjoy my red crochet teaser. Unfortunately, that toy is no more though..{kovu ate it}.

Samson seemed to love modeling and he basically let me do whatever I wanted. He was simply purrfect!

Handsome is so very handsome! I had to make this photo the Friday Face because it cracks me up. So I was hoping it might do the same for all of you. :-)

Handsome can be seen among the beautiful flowers at An Enchanted Florist in Skippack Village. Handsome’s mom, Jill, owns the amazing shop. Need some gorgeous flowers? Wanna meet Handsome? Visit An Enchanted Florist!

Happy Friday Face!

Sweet Bitty. She was just a baby when I photographed her and her sister. She was like a little pig, grunting and running around. Her innocence is reflected in her perfect little face!

Happy Friday Face!
