Cash

A few weeks ago I just bought my family a new member to our crazy family.  His name is Cash.  The first time I saw him was last November and I feel in love with him.  I knew he was meant to be in our family.  For months I been checking up on him and trying to see if he was available to purchase.  He is an amazing dog.  Full of energy.  He is from a family of show dogs. He has become our best friend.  Here are a few pictures of our new member of our family.

Christie’s Pin Up

One of my clients contacted me about doing a special photo shoot for her husband that is deployed.  Of course I love doing pin up photo shoots so right away I went searching for new props and ideas.   I was very excited for tonight’s photo shoot.   I greatly enjoyed my last photo shoot with Christie.  We had a blast.  She is a beautiful model. I hope her husband enjoys the pictures.  Come Home Soon!
