Cockapoochis

You must be wondering what a Cockapoochi is. Its what happens when a Cockapoo and a Chi-Spaniel make babies. Still confused? Me too. I snapped these of my mom's 8-week-old litter the day before they all went to their new homes. We were all a little sad to see them go, especially my own little pups, Juniper and Everett. Theres nothing in the world quite like puppy breath!

Sister Heap | Balboa Park, CA

This was a special shoot. Lindsey was leaving the following day to serve an 18-month-long mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Forth Worth, Texas area. Some of her brothers were out of town so her sweet mom, Amy, booked me to shoot just the girls in the family (obviously, beauty runs in the family). Their excitement and love for Lindsey as she embarked on this adventure was so contagious I got a little teary as we were talking and laughing and traipsing around Balboa Park. I've told her this before but I'll say it again, Amy knows how to raise truly incredible kids, and I would like her to please teach me everything she knows! Thank you for inviting me to take these special photos, and thank you all for being so incredibly photogenic!

Spencer-Gossell Family | Mount Helix, CA

This family is definitely the coolest. They moved into their beautiful mid-century modern home only days before their baby boy, William Hemingway, was born! I was invited in a few weeks after his arrival and had a lot of fun hanging out with them and their other little red-head, Francis (don't they have the coolest baby names??). William was having tummy troubles that morning and wasn't in the mood to be put down or sleep for us, but I love how bright-eyed and alert he looks in the images. He is probably already busy thinking incredibly cool thoughts. Thanks for a fun morning, you guys!
