Ok, I think I'm the only "dog person" on the planet who's mind it didn't cross that I would do a photo shoot with rescue dogs and NOT fall madly in love with one or more subjects. It absolutely did not enter my mind, so of course, I fell in love. These pups were so wonderful and I already want to adopt two of them. Salty Dog is having a fundraiser at the Wild Rose on Friday, December 7th! You can see more of these fabu pooches hanging on the walls thanking you for your donation that helps them find a happy home!  Prepare to fall in love....

Last year I had the honour of photographing Shannon Stephens for her latest album, Pull it Together. I just came upon my favourites folder from that shoot and was reminiscing on such a great day. She was a wonderful subject, so willing to sit in the rain, walk the same twenty feet over and over and over and keep going even though we were about to lose the feeling in our fingers. What a gal! She just announced being on a great compliation album available now, that fundraises for a fantastic new all ages venue in Spokane. Help Spokane get a great new music venue and give a gift to a friend, or yourself! all with just $30! Hell yeah!! Click here for the compilation and story. And here for the lovely Shannon Stephens.
