I did a wonderful lifestyle pet photography session this weekend with Bulldog puppy, Ruby, and her new mom and dad! This is the sweetest puppy ever! She seemed to really enjoy her photo session and was so well behaved. We made it fun for her and she received tons of hugs and kisses throughout! We took photos at home and at a beautiful park in the early morning when it was still cool and comfortable. Stay tuned for more adorable photos of Princess Ruby!

Gabriel …. now 15 months old and as adorable as ever. He’s developing a darker coat with more stripes, and his nose always looks like he’s spent too much time in the sun! Taking photos of blue-eyed cats with a flash is never a good idea, but I used my Gary Fong flash diffuser for this image and it’s not too bad.

I enjoy adding new plants to my garden. About 10 years ago, I planted a Trumpet Vine and encouraged it to trail over a fence in my back yard. The tube-like flowers attract hummingbirds. The plant has always been full and green, but never developed any flowers. About 2 weeks ago as I was puttering in the garden, I noticed a cluster of 4 flower buds! These were the very first flowers after 10 years of waiting and hoping! I was so excited! The other night I went back out to the garden with plans to photograph the flowers. To my dismay, 3 of them were gone and only one remained! The deer must have been as excited to see the new flowers as I was! Thankfully the one remaining flower was open and I had a chance to take a few photos. If anyone has this plant in their garden, I would love some advice on how to encourage more flowers. I read that the plant must mature before it blooms, so maybe this year was the start of great things to come!
