So, Pup-A-Palooza was on Saturday, and what a day it was!!  I would like to thank all who participated in helping make this day so much fun and such a success!  Especially our friends at Good Clean Dog for suppling the adorable goodie bags, and my good friend, and event planner extraordinaire Katy Griffiths, for acting as my secretary, stylist and dog whisperer!  You rock!!

I had so much fun!  And, I kind of want to do it again. Only next time, I won't wear black!

It is no secret that I love my iPhone camera.  I've posted many a Hipstamatic image here on my blog, and sing the praises of Instragram every chance I get.  So you can image how overjoyed I was to get a call from the lovely and talented Tanya Davis, requesting a profession headshot... but taken with my iPhone!!  I almost died of excitement!!  Thanks Tanya!  You made my day!

We had some crazy weather here in Seattle this morning.  It was super windy for one!  And we had simultaneous sun and rain!  It made for a fun family shoot for sure!  But then, just as we were getting ready to call it quits, we all looked up, and saw Air Force One flying by!  Just too fun!!

that little dot to the left of the family is Air Force One.  We were all very excited about it.

I had such a great time at this shoot today...  Just had to share this image.  The light was so pretty and soft!  I love this time of year!

Looks like I'm a Finalist in the Red Tricycle "Totally Awesome Awards"!  So exciting!  I would love to win, and so I'm shamelessly asking for your vote!  Just click HERE to vote for me!

Thank you all!!

Oh how I love getting packages in the mail!  Especially when the package contains something pretty  that smells good!!

So a big "thank you" to Cordelia Smith of Good Clean Dog, for sending me over a sample of the swag bags she is preparing for the Pup-A-Palooza event!

Not only are these products adorable!!  They smell AMAZING! I'm seriously considering using them on myself.  Seriously.

I cannot wait to share these with those of you coming to the event.

And for those of you who do not have a dog, but, like me, love pretty things that smell good, check out Cordelia's people products (Sweet Petula) at www.sweetpetula.com!

I love this spritzer.  Have already used it on my dog, and in my office!

I had the great pleasure of meeting Mr. Owen Ben-Menachem today!  Owen is the adorable baby of Drory and Marcee, who's wedding I photographed about three years ago! I adore Drory and Marcee!  And I just fell in love with little Owen!  Such a cutie!!
