You know how much I love Story People and the silly little Story of the Day emails that I get. Today had another dog related one titled “Tofu Pup.”

All of the text on the cards is fully customizable so feel free to say something sweet or funny or whimsical or whatever you might have in that head of yours.

Holiday cards take about 10 business days to be processed so you’ll need to order yours soon if you want to get them out before Christmas.

22 more days…not that I’m counting.

Charity and I are so excited and honored to be voted #1 for Pet Photography in King 5’s Best of Western Washington contest! A HUGE thank you goes out to all of you who voted for us! We couldn’t have done it without all your support!

Charity and I feel so lucky to have such amazing clients. I wanted to share a few of the reviews written about us:

“PaddyWag is great at capturing your pet’s personality. They are professional, thoughtful and just downright creative photographers.”  –laurajmack

“Because they take the time to get THE shot! And they are not afraid to get down and dirty for the perfect picture!”  –michellec

“The importance of rapport between subject and photographer cannot be overstated. No other photographer in Western Washington has an easier time developing an immediate connection with our four-legged family members than Amanda and Charity. Take a look for yourself … you’ll see what I mean.”  –Huyman

“Both Amanda and Charity have great personalities, and get along great with animals and people. It is rare to find people who interact so well with both. I would definitely recommend them to any one looking to capture the best of their pets.”  –rwallace31915

“Wow I receive comments all the time about our dogs pictures. Amanda is amazing–so much patience with your animals. I would recommend Amanda to family and friends.  Thank you so much.”  –Tyler, Cora, Baker and Lola

“Charity is amazingly sweet and the photos that she has produced are absolutely adorable. She is one of the easiest people in the world to get along with!”  –Clayton Ryan

Thank you again everyone!

We love you all!

On this rainy, blustery Saturday, I stumbled upon a few old images that I thought might be fun to resurface.

These are some early beginnings to PaddyWag – in fact one of these images was the precursor that sprung the idea in the first place.

Can you guess which one?

*if you guessed the last one, you are right!

Have a great Saturday everyone – I think I see a little blue sky peaking through the clouds…

Sweet, sweet Sammi.

She loves her blue ball, and her Momma…

She is so well trained and well mannered, we were able to do lots of fun (photo posing) things outside in the yard…

Sammi in the flowers, hamming it up…

I even had the chance to take a few ‘personal’ shots.

Thanks to Gayle and Sammi for such an easy-going shoot!

As promised,

meet Brutus!  An adorable lab mix, who is *apparently 7 months old!?…he’s SO big! – I questioned his mother a handful of times, but she swore up and down that he was indeed so young.

He certainly was a puppy at heart though, which made for a very fun and energetic shoot!

We made sure to have some down-time too…

Thanks to Kim and Brutus for such a well balanced shoot!

I’d like you all to meet Kodiak, the newest PaddyWag client.

Spending an afternoon with this cutie was way too much fun! Brother and sister even got in on the cuteness action.

 This one cracks me up! It was the first shot of the day:

Love the detail on this next one…

We were having so much fun that I wanted to be in a pic too, so here’s my shadow with Kodiak:

I think Kodiak was pretty worn out by the end of the shoot. It was definitely time to curl up with a toy and rest.

Thanks again to Kodiak and family!
