Try It Once
I recently learned the word “Orso” means Bear in Italian. That was the very word that popped into my head when I saw the lovely couple, their golden pup and their giant black orso bear walking towards me. Shyam and Ruchita are two animal lovers who grew up never having pets themselves. Together, they decided […]
Patty the Pet Psychic
A year ago this month, our cat Kitten (yes, her name is Kitten) went missing in an area where a bobcat had recently been seen. In her 12 years with us, she had never missed dinner and spent every evening curled up on Erik’s lap. When she didn’t come home, we feared the worst. Miraculously, […]
The Artist and his “Best Good Friend”
For anyone who’s ever been told, “You’ll never make a living doing that”. Or, “You need something with more stability”, this story’s for you. I initially met Stephen Henry last fall when his daughter hired me to do a session as a gift for her father, Stephen and his dog, Nacho. I already knew he […]
A Love Story
Last September, I briefly posted about an interesting duo I had seen scooting around the Sandy area. It was a guy and his dog on a Honda Super Cub motorcycle. I did a double-take as they passed me wishing the traffic wasn’t moving so quickly…for once. I spotted him twice more after that and couldn’t […]
The Woman Behind Mindful Mutt
Meet Angela Gertino I first met Angela Gertino a few years ago at the Salt Lake Pet Expo when our booths just happened to be next to each other. I had never done anything like that before and being a sometimes painful introvert, I wanted nothing more than to spend the next two days hiding […]

I LOVE Kittens-but really, spay & neuter people.
A fellow I know owns a beautiful black cat with the most stunning green eyes named Elenor. She’s an inside/outside cat that he never got spayed. Naturally, she became pregnant and gave birth to 4 cute little fluff balls that I instantly fell in love with. For various reasons, the kittens ended up coming home […]
Toss-A-Thon Model Call
I’m willing to bet you’ve all seen those hilarious photos of dogs catching treats with that crazy look of determination and mania in their eyes. I recently decided I wanted to try that with the wonder twins, Milo & Stella. They were absolutely perfect! And by perfect I mean, these two goombas gave us exactly […]
New Year, New Look
Happy New Year…in February. *ahem* It would seem I’ve fallen a tad behind with keeping up with my blog. The reason why? It’s because I had an overly ambitious goal to completely revamp my website. My previous site was pretty simple and basic. My galleries were all on the home page and you’d scroll through […]
