I met this adorable, squishy and sweet duo at their home in West Hollywood while I was in Los Angeles for my book tour with Finding Shelter. Evian and Eddy's people commission a Los Angeles dog photography session to celebrate a month-long birthday bash. Luckily, I got to be part of that celebration as our LA dog photography session was one of the gifts!

Read MoreI can't wait for my upcoming New York dog photography sessions. I'll be in New York for fine art dog photography clients June 16 - 18, 2017 and have two spots still open. Spring will be sprung, flowers will be out, the sky will be clear and New York will be in bloom - what a perfect time to be photographing!
