It is always fun to get an inquiry from a client that says, “I want to bring a birthday cake, and party stuff to our photography session! And she will be wearing her necklace!” The visions that ran through my mind were…OMG, I can’t WAIT for this session! How fun!!!
We met Coco and her family down at Savin Rock in West Haven, on a warm beautiful evening! She was as adorable as I had imagined, but surprisingly — smaller than I had thought! She was just a tiny little girl! We all hit it off right away, and Coco had a blast!!! Here a just a few images of her special 3rd Birthday at the park…

It was a chilly day – not quite Winter, but not quite Spring….it was a somewhere in-between, but that didn’t stop Mickey from wanting to explore the park and “pose” for a few photos for us. Mickey is a sweet little girl, who – by some sad misfortune – found herself motherless, and “for sale” at 4 weeks old. Some kind-hearted person “bought” her – just to save her from more misfortune – and surrendered her to the AWESOME folks at Karuna Bully Rescue, where she was nursed into a beautiful, and healthy puppy! She is now ready to find her forever-home. If you, or someone you know, would like to adopt or even FOSTER Mickey, please contact adopt@karunabully.org. She is such a wonderful pup, and she deserves a loving home.
How can you resist this face?

We’re a little late blogging about our recent trip to Kauai – Not because it wasn’t a spectacular vacation, but because we took a GAZILLION photos and we had to weed through them all!!!
We got to Kauai a little around 6:30pm (Hawaii time – which is 6 hours behind East Coast time), so after a day of flying, we were pretty spent! We did manage to get up enough energy to go to Duke’s Canoe Club for dinner – and it was amazing! We spent the first night at this cute little place called The Kauai Inn at Nawiliwili Harbor before we made our way for a timeshare we booked up in Princeville. Apparently, Princeville, and the rest of the North Shore, are the “rainiest” part of the island (who knew?) Well, it was true, and we did managed to get our fair share of rain. It was fine though, after all – we were on vacation! Haha!
Kauai is such a beautiful island. It seems to be very unspoiled by tourists (yeah, I know we were tourists too!) The landscape is very natural, not a lot of built-up areas, and even in the “touristy” parts weren’t overly touristy. It was just an incredibly relaxing place. One that I would definitely want to visit again! While we were on Kauai, we decided to volunteer at the Kauai Humane Society. We ended up going out on a “field trip” with one of their adoptable dogs, named Maka. When we got there, the staff at KHS told us we could check the kennel area, and choose up to three dogs – from the three, they would help match us up with the one who would be the best fit for us. We chose Maka, since he hadn’t been out on a recent field trip, and because when we walked by his kennel, he gave us the sweetest puppy-dog eyes, so we just HAD to choose him! Well, Maka ended up being a wonderful field trip pup! He walked on the beach with us, then walked along the Kapaa Bike Path with us, then when we stopped for lunch, he was just THE perfect pup! He just relaxed under our picnic table and waiting until we were done (his reward was a taste of my mahi mahi fish taco!)
Here are just a few of the gazillion photos we took!

We met several other very lucky island pups while we were on Kauai! We met Georgia, a beautiful Lab mix at Anahola Bay. She was there to watch the sunset with her folks! We also met Prince, who apparently hangs out (by himself) at the beach at Ke’e State Park while he watches all the people swim and play in the water. On our final night in Kauai, we met Bill and Honey and a beautiful “tri-pod” named Molly Brown, who lost her leg after getting hit by a car.
Overall, Kauai was a SUPER dog-friendly island – and just a real people-friendly island in general! I miss it…but I will definitely be back!
Mahalo, Kauai!

We were contacted recently by Foster Dogs NYC to photograph a dog in “Fospice” care. Gwendolyn was pulled from the NYC ACC by the awesome folks at ReeFuge Animal Rescue, Inc after her previous owners left her to be euthanized, due to the health problems she has.
Poor little Gwendolyn had only ever known the one family she spent the last 14 years with…and then, she found herself alone and sick, without anyone to love and comfort her…that is, until her foster momma Stacy came into the picture!!! Stacy is such an incredible person to have adopted Gwendolyn, especially since she has so many other special-needs dogs at home. We were fortunate to have met some of these pups…who were pulled from various situations including abuse, abandonment, health problems, etc.
Stacy…you are an angel, and we are so happy to have met you! Thanks for letting us spend some time with you and your entourage 🙂
