Woof Gang Trio

Posted on April 29, 2010

If you’ve ever stopped by Woof Gang Bakery in Lakewood Ranch, then you’ve likely met at least one member of their welcoming committee – Kali, Kobe, and Kase. They take their jobs very seriously and do a great job of greeting their customers and fans. I had the pleasure of hanging out with this adorable trio last week and let me tell you, they are a super fun bunch!

I’ll be sharing more pictures soon, but in the meantime  here are a few group shots…*smoosh* – they are just too darn cute!

Meet Peter | Cocker Spaniel

Posted on April 25, 2010

It’s not uncommon for me to receive warnings before a pet photography session such as “my dog won’t sit still for a second; are you sure you’re up for the challenge?”. Peter came with one of those warnings –  I believe he was first described to me as a “very rambunctious” Cocker Spaniel. Having very high energy dogs myself, I rarely come across a dog that lives up to *my* idea of rambunctious, but I now have to admit that Peter came pretty close!

I’d describe Peter as a bright-eyed, constantly vibrating ball of energy, wrapped up in one very adorable package! It’s true; he didn’t sit still for long – at all – but I still think we managed to get some very nice pictures of this handsome boy. He has one of the cutest pouty faces that I’ve ever seen! Here are a few of my favorites from our session…

Meet Ipo | Bradenton Pet Photographer

Posted on April 9, 2010

Ipo (ee-po) is Hawaiian for precious, and it’s the perfect name for this 6 month old little girl. Ipo is sweet, yet sassy, and in the short time I spent with her, she managed to have me wrapped around her little paw. She wasn’t falling for any of my usual (and very reliable, I must add) tricks, and made it clear that if I wanted to take her picture, she must be compensated in treats…and don’t even think about being stingy! Such a smart girl…I just love her poodle curls, the little white patch on her chin, and the adorable kink in her tail. Her mom and dad certainly have their hands full, but I think they found the perfect match!

A big thank you to Ipo and family for a wonderful evening!

Riley + Finn | Golden Retrievers

Posted on April 5, 2010

Who doesn’t love a pair of Golden Retrievers? Meet Riley and Finn – two of my favorite Goldens, who also happen to be Peyton’s very best friends. They’ve been featured here before, but now Finn is all grown up – he just recently turned one year old! Although Riley will be four soon, you can definitely see the family resemblance.

Riley is just a tad bit obsessed with his Chuckit! balls…you might remember his GulfCoast DOG cover shot from last summer. I’m thinking he could easily have a career as a Chuckit! spokesdog!

Finn looks so much like a puppy in this shot…what a baby face!

Don’t let their cute and innocent faces fool you – these guys are ferocious…RAWR!!

100% Pure Joy
