The early morning air was chilly at the “Calling All Dogs” walk last month to benefit Philadelphia’s Ronald McDonald House.  This little one was keeping warm by being tucked inside mom’s denim jacket.

I loved the view of the ocean, beach and boardwalk from beneath this pier in Atlantic City, NJ.  Apparently so did this couple as they stopped to take a few photos!

I had a wonderful photo shoot last weekend with Spinone Italiano, “Rufus”, and his awesome family!  We set out early Sunday morning in search of Fall color and nice light.  We photographed indoors and out, in multiple locations and Rufus was a great sport through it all.  Last time I spent time with this boy was when he was just a puppy.  My how he has grown!  He’s now 105 lbs. and such a sweet and lovable dog!  Here he is sharing hugs with Myla.

 “Tuesday” listens as Luis Montalván reads from their book, “Until Tuesday:  A Wounded Warrier and the Golden Retriever Who Saved Him”, at the Hershey Public Library last month.   Their book details Luis’ experiences during multiple tours of duty in Iraq and the resulting emotional and physical effects that he lives with each and every day.  Enter Tuesday, a lovable Golden Retriever trained since he was 3 days old to be a service dog.  Tuesday endured challenges of his own during his 2 years of training, but when he and Luis met, they were a perfect match for one another. Their other book, “Tuesday Tucks Me In”, is a heartwarming children’s story that is written from Tuesday’s point of view and describes the bond they share as they go about their day.  I highly recommend both books and suggest that you take a peek at their event schedule here:  http://until-tuesday.com/events.html   If Luis and Tuesday are in your area, I urge you to stop by and meet them.  Their story is one of love, devotion and mutual respect.  Happy Tuesday everyone!

Happiness is a brand new toy!  Even more happiness is tenderly pulling the stuffing out in less than 5 minutes flat!
I had the pleasure of photographing Luis Montalván and his handsome service dog, Tuesday, at the Hershey Public Library, Hershey, Pa. last weekend.  Luis and Tuesday gave a wonderful presentation on their most recent publication, a children’s book titled Tuesday Tucks Me In.  It’s a great read … check it out at your favorite bookseller along with their other book, Until Tuesday, A Wounded Warrior and the Golden Retriever Who Saved Him.
