Horse Portraits for Stable Solutions


Monique Hodgkins from Stable Solutions was kind and brave enough to invite me and my beasties to visit her horses (my beasties being a 1 year old and 6 year old, I was very jealous of the leads and saddles by the end of my visit). Monique and I met at a Ladies Who Launch incubator and knew that we had to work together. She makes the most gorgeous horse embossed soaps and I have been dying to do horse portraits. Pups I still love you but every once in a while I need a new venture. I had an amazing time taking horse portraits on her Pescadero boarding facility. She was even kind enough to let me son and I ride her horse. I was able to even capture her daughter and her daughter's horse. I am so thrilled to open horse portraits as a new facet to Fifi Loves Fido. To see more portraits from the day visit our facebook site or go to our website www.fifilovesfido.com.
Please forward this blog post on to anyone you know who may be needing horse portraits.

Maternity Pictures With Your First Baby


Many of us try to prepare a sibling for the new member of the family. We talk, tell, stories, and we take pictures.  For those who's first baby may not have a full grasp of the English language (sit and stay are still major issues, though dinner is clear as a bell) there are other ways to always remind you fuzzier baby who was first. I had a wonderful opportunity to take these maternity portraits at the Palace of Fine Arts, one of my favorite places to take pet portraits.  The Irvines wanted a reminder of their life before the new baby which of course features their current baby. I am looking forward to seeing them in a few months when I can photograph Mike, Katie, and their new addition with her older sister.
