because dogs are people too..

i love photographing this family. not only because Julie and Paul are a couple of the nicest people ever, but i completely relate to the huge-cannot-be-measured-kind-of-love they have for their pups. we met last year when i photographed them at runyon canyon (a favorite hang out for Hollywood dogs and an awesome hiking spot for people, too).

this year, we decided to have their session at their pool to document their hilariously crazy dogs, Jake and Violet, jumping in the water. i was totally up for the challenge! actually, it turned out the only challenge was keeping myself from jumping in with them! if only i had underwater camera gear to capture their underwater cuteness… maybe someday.

Violet, the little sister, always has to have Jake’s toys, perfectly illustrated here:

i love this jumping series..

Violet’s puttin’ on the brakes.. she is hysterical!

here are the kids a bit more tired out than when i arrived..

and i love these last few.. i can just hear them saying “c’mon guys, come back and play!”

thanks again, Julie and Paul, for such a fun and unique photography session! i hope you enjoy your sneak peek as much as i enjoyed posting it!
