The expression on Dobby’s face says it all for me – there goes another hour!

Not quite time for bunnies yet, so here’s the tortoise!
I have mentioned before that my family has been very supportive of my business…perhaps no one more than my cousin, Karena, who has a seemingly never-ending supply of critters available for model calls! Two Golden Retrievers, chameleons, tree frogs, fish, a tiny swimming turtle, electric blue lobster, a pregnant Guinea Pig, three gorgeous blonde boys (how lucky are they?) and more! Watch out when I get a macro lens! This is Biggie, inherited by Karena and her husband, Andrew a few years back – he went from serving platter size to ginormous, apparently preferring the Great Northwest to Southern California. When last I heard, he was 65 lbs! My favorite thing about Biggie is that he eats dandelions – their yard is gorgeous! We’ll be doing a more extensive shoot when the weather warms up a bit!
Titan and Chai
I love a happy ending…especially when it is more beginning than ending! Meet Titan and Chai, a couple of rescue puppies that have found their forever home. Titan is an 11 month old American Staffordshire Terrier, who came to Port Orchard from a California shelter. He is currently taking obedience classes, and his people have high hopes for his higher education, and what he will do beyond the basics (modeling, perhaps?). Titan is a big, sweet love! He is also passionate about making his sister, Chai (just 5 1/2 months!), feel comfortable and confident. These two love to play! Chai has some agility in her future. And seriously, those eyes! Those ears! It was all too much for this pet photographer! I was fortunate to meet them at Jackson Park in Port Orchard last week for a session, on a beautiful, sunny day.
FFP’s New Logo!
Here is my new logo! I have been working to create a logo that embodies the spirit of my business, and here is the final result:
My hope is that it conveys the enthusiasm I have for what I do and my love for all of your critters, clawed, pawed and hooved. It is my great pleasure to photograph so many well loved furbabies and record their relevance to our daily lives. I love hearing you tell their stories and am honored to be a small part of your lives. Thank you for supporting my dream job!
Shout out to Mud Bay!
Today I went to Gig Harbor to check out a terrific pet food and supply store. Mud Bay is a chain of 20 stores from Olympia to Bothell, selling healthy foods and well made supplies. I was impressed with the selection of products, and loved that alongside well-known national brands I found plenty of locally-produced items as well. The staff was friendly and helpful, the store clean, bright and well organized, and the prices seemed very reasonable for such an upscale store. Check out the one in Gig Harbor if you’re close, or look online at http://www.mudbay.us for a store near you. The photos are some I took of the manager’s dog, Mammas, about 3 weeks ago. Knowing she had lymphoma, it was important to capture her sweet face. This dog was so very well loved by her whole family, it was a beautiful experience for me to be part of. I’m sorry to say she has since passed, but so grateful we got her pictures when we did. Isn’t she beautiful?
