Tears. Smiles. Trust.

In this current age of mass online consumption and communication, so much can get lost in translation. Tone is missed, sarcasm misunderstood and the result becomes complicated. It’s usually pretty difficult to get a sense of the real person behind the technology. That was not the case with Christine. She contacted me last year with […]

Tattoos, Dog Hair & Essential Oils

Earlier this year, my family and I decided to get outta dodge for a while and booked it to Canyonlands National Park. Erik and Rowan up front, because Ro’s car seat didn’t fit in the back. Which left myself and Milo in the back…of a Tacoma…NOT the extended cab version. I knew it was going […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Mr. Chewy

In my last post I mentioned meeting a very special client at the Pet Expo. Candy was there with two of her dogs but mentioned the pup she wanted photos of was at home. His name is Chewy. Chewy Snickerdoodle to be precise. She had recently learned he had cancer and they had exhausted all […]
Salt Lake City Pet Expo Wrap-Up

Holy cannoli this has been a hot and busy summer! Despite my anxieties telling me it’s the worst idea I’ve ever come up with, I attended my very first expo as a vendor. It was the Salt Lake Pet Expo, oddly enough held in Ogden. It was exhausting but SO. MUCH. FUN. I got to […]
Stellllllllaaaaaa!

Monday’s aren’t usually my favorite day of the week. However, yesterday? Yesterday was a particularly good Monday. I made a run to the store to buy some pico de gallo, (completely irrelevant and it wasn’t even for me. Also irrelevant) and on my way out, I glanced over to the magazine rack and did a […]
