This awesome session with Jovi and his owners took place a couple months ago at the awesome Lake Meridian Park! The skies were extra gray and daunting that morning, but we lucked out and the rain held off until the tail end of our session!

Whew! The last few weeks have been exhausting, but I’ve had the chance to meet many sweet pets including this little girl named Sasha:
I had a mini session with her and her owner Sheldon a couple weeks ago. We got some amazing variety in a short amount of time! Check out my favorite shots from the day:
Thanks again Sheldon & Sasha!

I drove out to Lake Stevens a couple of weeks ago to photograph Sam and her malamute puppy, Bronx. It took me all of 2 seconds to fall head over heels for this adorable fluff ball!
We took Bronx to a nearby park and she was so excited to run around that I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to get any photos of her in focus! Luckily she was fascinated by my shoes so she’d stop every once in awhile to check them out and I’d get a photo like this…
or like this…
or like this of her peeking out from under the table.
I love this shot of Bronx in Sam’s arms. I swear it looks like she’s laughing!
This picture below is one of my absolute favorites from the photo session! I loved it so much that I had it printed as a 20×24 sample to display and show future clients.
This is my favorite one of Sam and Bronx together. I love the way the sun enhances curly hair!
Thanks again Sam and Bronx! I had SO much fun hanging out in the sunshine and running around the park with both of you!

Here’s a sneak peek of little Bronx…
Happy Friday everyone!

I recently made a trip to New Mexico (you can read about it here and here on my Art of Subtlety blog) and while I was there I met this cutie named Baxter:
Baxter has quite the life. His family lives on a beautiful property in a town called Placitas, where he spends his time hiking with his owners, watching wild horses roam free, playing with out of town visitors, and eating treats in his yard.
He has the most captivating eyes that make you melt and fall immediately in love.
My favorite thing about Baxter though was his tongue. Look at these cool spots!
A HUGE thanks goes out to Baxter and the Stueber family for inviting me into their home and showing me such kindness and generosity during my travels.

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.”

“taunting the neighbor’s dog with meat-flavored tofu because he can’t get anyone else to eat it.”

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:

Take a look for yourself … you’ll see what I mean.” –Huyman

Thank you again everyone!
We love you all! 🙂
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!
 🙂 Amanda
…and it’ll be revealed on Monday!
Raise your hand if you’re excited!
Raising your ear works too. 🙂
Meet Chloe and Nani.
I couldn’t resist having that be the first shot, it was just too cute!
Chloe is Nani’s older sister, and tends to show her the ropes. And Nani is more than happy to learn from her big sis.
Chloe and Nani’s mom and dad met up with me at the Washington Park Arboretum in Seattle. Chloe and Nani had never been, so we had a grand ol’ time playing and discovering the new surroundings.
Chloe’s favorite toy? Her Frisbee!
I think the tail just makes this next shot! So cute – she means business!
Action shot! – yup, that’s broccoli.
Blurry pups at play – these are more ‘out takes’ but I thought they were kind of fun.
We moseyed on over to the water front after a good session of playtime, and enjoyed the scenery.
Gotta love mommy kisses! – I love the face that dogs and cats make when they get kisses from their people, they just look so content.
A puppy trying to get a average sized ball in their mouth…gets me every time! 🙂
And look at Chloe’s pretty spots! – so sweet!
Thanks to their momma, Michelle, for helping orchestrate the shoot, it was certainly a team effort 🙂
Chloe and Nani did a fantastic job! They deserve some more string cheese 😉
