There’s something about Pugs. I’m not sure if it is the snorts they make when they get excited, or the sweet curly tail or even the wrinkles on their head. Everything about this breed is just so much fun. These dogs have the best personalities – I’ve never met a Pug I didn’t just fall head over heels over in love with.

And all that could be said about Avett and Norm. Both of these Pugs are just amazing. They are sweet boys, LOVE to eat Cheerios, both toy killers and most of all, adore cuddles on the couch.

Norm is fawn colored and Avett is black. :)

Erica pointed out to be that even though Avett is black, he has traces of fawn on his back side. And I’m guess that you have figured out that Avett was named after a local Concord, NC band that struck it big – - The Avett Brothers. If you haven’t heard of them – PLEASE check them out. They are such talented guys!

This is one of their favorite toys. Notice the missing eyes and nose.

Thanks again Erica and Steve for having me over to capture your Pugs. They are just darling if you ask me.

Oh, and P.S. Congrats on your announcement today. So excited to hear about your new human addition coming Feb 2012. Yay!

Trust is something you earn. You can’t just simply say to someone to trust you — it must be built up over time. The same is true about dogs. And the dogs that make you earn their trust are some of my favorite ones. Chi-Chi might be all bark, but she’s also the smallest dog with a huge heart. By the end of our session, she was giving me kisses and I knew then and there, she trusted me. That’s a huge accomplishment if you ask me. Here are some pictures from my session of Chi-Chi and Lola.

Isn’t Lola such a cutie? Her eyes are so pretty and just pour love.

Chi-Chi guarding the entire neighborhood. She’s a tough cookie for being so little.

 Here’s Chi-Chi and Lola’s parents. :) They have been married for about three years and love just gushes out of them as well.

Christie is so freaking beautiful. I love the series of the couple together. They totally rocked it.

This last picture was right before I left the session. As you can tell Chi-Chi was working the camera. Christy told me that this was one of her all-time favorites from the session so I had to include it.

Camerone explained that from childhood, she’s always had a Golden and they always had names that began with the letter B. That Brady and Bentley made a king size bed feel like a twin. They both loved going on walks and their treats – but most of all all their neighborhood friends. We started our session in Latta Plantation and move to the Golden’s neighborhood in Huntersville, NC before the sunset. These two together are quite a pair. Here are some pictures from the session.

When I first saw the above picture – I really thought it was a lion – - just look at that chest of fuzzy fur. LOVE IT.

Nothing beats having a LARGE dog think they are small enough to fit into your lap. Always makes me smile.

My fur kids aren’t as cool as their friends. I’ve been super busy between sessions and editing that I didn’t have a chance to get them Halloween costumes. So this year, I called upon their friends – the pugs: Sylvie and Atticus. I’m sure you remember them from a session earlier this year. So here they are – all dressed up and ready to go trick or treating – - I’m sure they are looking for treats more than tricks. Happy Halloween!

Sometimes things happen that changes your life. And we all have choices to make on how we handle these changes. We can throw the covers over our heads or we can take on the world with a big smile or wag in our tail no matter what cards we are dealt. Brandy is one of those dogs that no matter what happens, she’s going to put her best face forward and keep going. Brandy came to Jenna from the Blue Ridge Boxer Rescue. One day at daycare another dog got a little too aggressive with Brandy and she lost her eye. Brandy has now healed and you would never notice that one of her eyes is missing – - it’s almost like she is winking at you. She also loves to jump into your lap for love. Jenna was a little worried when Brandy greeted me with a hop, but coming from a Boxer home – I was excited to see that these Boxer manners are a given.  Here are some pictures from our session. I had such a great time not only getting to meet Brandy, but also some of her puppy friends.

When I was editing, I came across this picture above and just loved it – not sure why, but it makes me smile.

This last picture is one of my favorites from our session. Jenna was having her a conversation with Brandy and you could just tell Brandy loves her owner so much. Thanks again for having me out to photograph you guys.

There are special people out there with huge hearts. Most of the time you would never know it, but it just seems to pour out of them. Letting a new adopted pet into your home isn’t always easy, but the reward is nothing a lotto winner can ever speak to. Debbie contacted me to photograph her two Chihuahuas, daughter Nicole and Nicole’s dog too. Most people might have in their heads how certain breeds might behave, but all three of these dogs were a photographers dream. It did take them a while to warm up to my camera, but once they did, the big and little personalities just came out. Debbie’s session was taken at Freedom Park in Charlotte, NC.

This is how Debbie hold both Chihuahua’s at the same time – - they don’t mind it and I think they rather enjoy being close to each other.

I just LOVE the sunlight in this picture.

Last but not least, some sweet Penny paws.

It was a perfect day at the park and I’m so glad I got to spend it with Debbie, Nicole and some really awesome pups.

Lately, I can’t get enough of paws. Make that paws and ears and cold noses and well, furry faces. Here’s a sneak from a session this past weekend of Teddy. I love how his little claws/toes just curl up. More from this session later this week.

There’s something about being the first. She’s the newest addition to join this happy-go-lucky couple. Her expert first time mom can spill everything one needs to add to a registry in less than 2.5 seconds. The best part about Harper is that she smiles when she sleeps. I almost wanted her to be able to speak so we can find out what makes her glow. I personally think it might be dad. She totally has him wrapped around her little fingers.
