"Saving Pets Through Photography" video

Hi! I put this video together featuring some of my photography of the Los Angeles Shelter Dogs. Please check it out if you have a moment.

West L.A.Shelter Dogs need a home

Here are some wonderful dogs I photographed last week. Please call the West Los Angeles Animal Shelter at (888) 452-7381 for more information. As you can see, these new photos make a big difference!

This is Hazel. Just found out she was adopted! Hurray! Mission accomplished!

This is Casper, the friendly dog. A0936967. He is less than two years old and has super cool eyes! Casper is deaf, so if you like to rock out to loud music, he won't mind a bit. Also - he may not know his own name, but will surely come to you if you wave treats in the air! ;)

Bones is a 2 year old pit-bull terrier. His interests include colorful collars and mona lisa smiles. A0945595.

Ace of Hearts Dog Rescue

In addition to working with the local animal shelters, Little Friends Photo also supports many private rescues including ACE OF HEARTS Dog Rescue, a wonderful organization located in Los Angeles! Thanks, Ace of Hearts, for all of the wonderful work you are doing and all of the dogs you are saving!

Little Friends Photo recently photographed some of the Ace of Hearts pups, hoping that the resulting pictures will catch the eye of potential adopters. Here's a "before and after" example for Odie, a 2 year-old lab/terrier mix in the market for a new home. Click here to find out more about Odie!

Photo Shoot with Teddy Hilton! (Perez Hilton's puppy)

Little Friends Photo had the privilege of photographing the photogenic Teddy Hilton, who is owned by world-famous gossip blogger, Perez Hilton. Teddy is an 8-month old mini golden-doodle who loves the camera! It was so much fun to work with this super-cool pup!

Perez maintains http://www.perezhilton.com/, one of the most popular gossip blogs on the planet which receives millions of visitors every day.

Thanks, Perez! And thanks for the SHOUTOUT!

Little Friends featured on CBS News!

Exciting news! CBS has aired a story about Little Friends and our volunteer work with the Los Angeles City Animal Shelters! The story focuses on how a good picture can make a big difference for a shelter pet in finding a forever home. The story has aired several times on CBS2 and KCAL9 and is also available online. It is anticipated that over 1 MILLION people will see this story overall! A BIG THANK YOU goes out to CBS for supporting this cause! This is amazing exposure for shelter animals in need of homes! And as we all know, any break a shelter pet can catch is a good one!



This is Tristan (A932984). She is a 7-year old brown brindle American Staffordshire Terrier. She's one of my favorites at the West Los Angeles Animal Shelter. Please call (888) 452-7381 to meet her. The "before" photo was taken by an untrained photographer. The "after" photo was taken by Little Friends. Same dog. Big difference. :)

Giving Back

Little Friends Photo proudly supports various charity organizations. This past weekend, we supported two amazing charities by donating our photography services to the silent auctions.

On Saturday, May 3rd, the YPG Swingin' Occasion took place at Union Station. This wonderful event benefited the Good Shepherd Center for Homeless Women & Children. Thanks to everyone for attending! And thanks to Miss California for her support!
