So... it's been a hectic time here at my worldwide headquarters. And that's because I vacated my worldwide headquarters. After 24 years, I'm not living in my house. No, no, not because I defaulted on my mortgage or got a divorce or got a job in a new state. No, my friends, my house is being remodeled. After an inheritance left my family with a little bit of extra money, we decided to embark on updating our house.Sure, we've done some things over the years. New roof, driveway, repaint, new bathrooms and kitchen. But we've never undergone a whole house renovation and that's where we're at now.And that's meant a lot of packing and a lot of storage and lot of discarding. A lot. I had a very ...

Pet photography in L.A.!You guys! You almost let me go all of May without a blog post! And surely you are waiting for one! I want to introduce you to Cosita, a much loved 13-year-old Pomeranian. Her owners, Don and Fernando, and I agreed to meet at a Los Angeles park. I'm not going to say which one. But it was one I'd never been to before though it's very iconic.

I like working with The Little Red Dog so when PJ let me know there were nine puppies and a mama to be photographed, I was all in.Now these babies aren't ready for adoption quite yet... they're only four weeks old. But now they have their baby pictures all done! Mama was a sweet dog, too. I imagine very patient as well... nine puppies? That's a lot of puppies!It was 106 degrees out when we took the photos. Yes, outside. We set up our studio outside. It was hot, let me tell you. But no puppy was outside for more than two or three minutes so no one overheated. Plus, they were covered. And they all look like they just woke up from a nap... which is exactly what was going.So let me present to ...
