Putting the CAT in Catalina!

I just had to share Catalina with you: a sweet little lion-heart feline who graced me with her presence today.

I typically don't shoot on Sundays
I typically photograph cats in their home instead of the studio
I typically don't use many props

But miss 'Lina was an exception all these rules, and I am so glad! She was a gentle-yet-speedy little ball of spunk, complete with extra toes and sporadic streaks of orange that match her eyes...

What a great way to spend an afternoon! Thought you might enjoy seeing her for yourself...

Olivia + Nichole discover Discovery Park

A dear friend (and fellow pet photographer) made the brilliant suggestion that we take a walk with our pooches at Discovery Park this afternoon.

What I knew is that I've been wanting to see the park and the weather was incredible for it... What I didn't know whas how incredibly and overwhelmingly amazing this place is and how much good it would do me to get outside and take it all in... At sunset, none the less.

I have attached a few photos, but out of pure awe and relaxation I failed to capture some of the most amazing sights this incredible park has to offer...

Sweeping views from towering bluffs of neighboring islands and the shipping lanes... turn of the century architecture- light yellow officers' quarters and barracks, complete with white column, wrap-around porches and little white lights lining the roof tops... Massive gnarled tree branches breaking the soft sunset colored sky with their stark sharp darkness... waving fields of tall, golden grass blanketing the hillsides... Yes friends... Quite a place, and I promise next time... I will capture more if it to share!


This last trip, was just for soaking in. Thanks Jamie and Fergie.
