Here are a few from my session with handsome Brad, from Tacoma. I love it when the kids come with personal effects!

The beautiful Ella! What a great sport in putting up with the weather and we had fun and got some great images in spite of it!

Jill is an adorable girl that came to me for her senior images. We even got to play in the rain!

Buddy is a very sweet and cuddly 10 mo. old rescue. Not sure what he's made of - looks to me like some Newfoundland in him, but I'm told they think he's part Chow. He seems to be a little fearful of men, but his foster mom is working on that with him. He's shy and learning how to live with a loving family. If interested in possibly adopting him, contact Kelly at Kindred Souls. Isn't he a beauty?! He was a matted mess when they got him!

Pongo is a 4 yr female shepard mix. But a small shepard mix - only about 30 lbs. She is so precious. Her coat is soft and beautiful and she's so snuggly. Pongo has been rescued by Kindred Souls Foundation and she is available to find a forever home. Please contact Kelly if you are interested in finding out more.

This is Lily, a beagle that is available for adoption via the Kindred Souls Foundation. She is a female, very sweet and playful, with tons of energy and currently residing in Tacoma. I'm not sure how old she is but I'm thinking she's maybe about 1 or 2 yrs. Please someone help and get her into a nice and loving forever home asap! Please contact Kelly and Kindred Souls for more information.

Here are just a few shots from the NW Winery Boutique Showcase event this past week. David LeClaire hosts wine tasting events and parties across Washington State for private and corporate events. Find out more about David and his services via Wine Events & Promotions.

This is Bear, an adorable pup that was available through Kindred Souls, but has happily been adopted.

Sadie, sister to Sarah (in the post below), is also available for adoption. These two little young ladies (6-7 months old) are so precious. Please contact Kelly at Kindred Souls if you're interested in finding out more about them for possible adoption.

Here is Sarah, a beautiful 6-7 month old lab (mix?) puppy, rescued by Kindred Souls Foundation, that is available for adoption. Please contact Kelly at Kindred Souls, if you would like to find out more about her. I can tell you, from my brief moments with her, she is so so sweet and loving.

Here we have Pauly, a senior in Auburn. Braving the cold weather in January to get some awesome images.

Jack, a 6 month old lab puppy that's available for adoption. He's been rescued and being fostered via the Kindred Souls Foundation. Isn't he just adorable? Please contact them if you are interested in possibly adopting him. He's been neutered. UPDATE: Jack's been adopted!

I had a blast at the Pet Pavilion's annual Paws for the Holidays event! I did pictures of Santa with pets and there were sure a lot of cuties! Any day surrounded by little critters is a good day! Here are just a few:

• 1. This little Sheltie was such a special sweetie.

2. The black German Shepard and the Great Pyranese - can you see the Great Pyranese's toenails! :)

3. Then the cockapoos with Mom and Dad. Aren't they just the cutest family!
4. This one of the 3 dogs together was the version of the image for their Christmas cards.

5. And this adorable little Westie! What else can I say!
