I love the story of why Peeps and Chelsea got their portraits taken. Today, Joe [the bostons uncle] will be marrying the Lovely Anne. Joe’s sister will be in the wedding as an attendant.
So, last week Joe snuck these two little charmers in for a portrait to give his sister as a thank you for being in the wedding. Is Joe the sweetest brother/guy ever? Anne, I think you got a good one.
Congratulations Joe and Anne!
I am a sucker for a sweet story AND Chelsea’s sweet smile [really adorable!]
We were nominated for “Best Pet Photography Studio in San Diego” by the A-List. This is so cool.
We have voted for and commented about businesses that we like in the past. We had no idea that it would be so wonderful to hear people saying those nice things about us. [link]
We want every client to leave our studio feeling like the photographs are even better than they expected.We have been pushing ourselves lately to streamline our ordering and delivery process as well as raise the bar on our portraits. We are always on the look out for ways to improve every aspect of our customers experience. It is great to know our efforts are appreciated.
So to all the folks that have taken the time to sign-up and vote we want to say thanks! It really means a lot. [boy, you would think we just won an Oscar!]
Thor is the little brother of Archer. He is anything BUT little. Thor is an Italian Mastiff. He is big, cuddly and has a really beautiful coat. I can’t decide which is my favorite part of Thor, the swirly fur on his neck or the amazing color of his eyes.
You will see Thor as one of the dogs featured on the new OMD splash page.
Okay, so this brings me to an age old question. Why don’t I have a dog named after a Norse God? [although besides THOR, most of the Norse God names sound more like Elf names]
The point being, why is it so hard to think of great dog names when you get a new dog?
This week has been a treasure trove of wonderful dog names. My personal favorite being a pug named Meatball! Meatball, really genius. [We should be caught up enough to blog him by Thursday]
Now, I don’t really see our Gus living up to a name like Thor, but we might have gone a bit further afield. One fine feature of the canine class is that you can always give them nicknames.
Gus’ Nicknames [in no particular order]
Gusmus P. YumYumHead [Mike and I argue over what the P. stands for]
Augustus [when he is in trouble]
Gustav
Merry Gusmas [seasonal]
Baby Shnooks [Mike uses this, Me...not so much]
and of course….Bug
That is the great thing about dogs, they are very flexible. They just want to hear you call their name, whatever it is.
What a charming dog! She super model material ALL THE WAY!
Dachshunds come in a variety of sizes and coats and an even larger variety of dispositions. Well, Miss Tina is the “lovely disposition” variety, to my delight.
I had a very, very difficult time selecting just one pictures from this shoot. Here it is.
Okay, So I picked 2. It was hard to decide!
This is Archer. She is a Belgian Shepard. Similar to a German Shepard but a bit smaller and sleeker [is that a word?] Archer was originally bred to be a military dog. This is why she has a “Tough Girl” Tattoo J507 in her left ear. She was Adopted by Trainers Rob and Erin Jewell of Sit Means Sit. So in addition to being gorgeous she is stunningly well trained.
