Last time I had a session with him, he was all about his new cat food bowl. This time he was obsessed with his owner's camel back couch, which was really exciting for me since it was a fabulous setting for photos. Puck must have been just as excited as I was because he was meowing through the entire shoot and even gave me a bunch of kitty kisses before I left. Oh man, do I love kitty kisses. :)

i {heart} mod
Oh mod, I love you so. Your clean, classic look gets me every time. I love when you're simple, but I love it even more when you're daring in color or bold in print. Case in point--pet beds.
Here are some fantastic pet beds I found at Design Public (all images copyright 2008 by S2D2 LLC)...
This first one is the Crypton Doodle Dog Pet Bed in the color "Pool":
This one is also by Crypton and is the Rotator Pet Bed in the color "Pomelo":
Can't forget about the kitties! This gorgeous piece is the Elizabeth Paige Smith Kittypod:
This one is the Kittypod Mini:
I still can't get over how great these are! The cat beds look like sculptures and would be purrfect in my living room. :)
Speaking of mod things that would look good in my house, check out these super cute bird-themed wallpapers (yep, they're on Design Public too!)...
This is the Graham & Brown Mode Birdcage Wallpaper:
And these next 2 are Cavern Home Blackbird Wallpaper:
With Design Public's vast array of modern products, I could literally create my own mod wonderland.

Liv Larsen
Don't believe me? Take a look at a couple pics from her photo session:
I photographed Liv in her home, which was filled with her beautiful photographs and paintings. Her art is amazing and you should definitely check out her site.
I loved this group of paintings:

Olive
Well, I'm excited to say that I finally found an olive I like and here she is:
Olive came into the studio with her owners yesterday and she was just the cutest thing! She kept me smiling and laughing the entire session, especially when she would jump up to catch the treats we had ready for her.
If all olives were as sweet as this Olive, I'd be eating them by the handful.
Thanks for such a great photo shoot Olive and family! :)

Paco & Bella
On a happy note, Bella is doing much better. She had been sick for weeks and weeks--poor thing went from 8 pounds all the way down to 3. At first my parents thought it was because Paco had gone missing and she was depressed, but after a few days of not being able to keep food down, they took her to their vet for some tests...and then took her back for more tests...and more and more. Everything came back negative, but she was getting sicker and sicker as the days went on. My parents finally decided to take her to see a doctor at Seattle Veterinary Specialists for a second opinion and found out within minutes that her gallbladder was incredibly infected and she needed to have surgery. After a few days of being on an IV, she was finally well enough to go under the knife. Everything went smoothly and she's now at home recovering nicely.

This time I found something from when my mom was a child.

delicious cupcakes!
a Pin Up Cupcake!
Heather, a great friend and owner of Pin Up Cupcakes in Edmonds, WA, makes some of the most delicious and beautiful cupcakes I have ever tasted. What's even more amazing though is the art that goes onto each one. I watched in awe as she created roses from frosting, birds from melted chocolate, and orcas from Twinkies(!). Simply amazing.
When I hosted a Cranium party she brought "Game Night" themed cupcakes. She formed playing cards, dice, and poker chips from fondant and painted them so well that for a minute I thought they were real! She put all of the cupcakes out on my table so that they formed a game board. Genius. And delicious! So delicious in fact, that by the time I grabbed my camera the cupcakes were gone. Guess that means I'll just have to order more. :)
