Thank you, Illinois!

My Illinois tour was a smash hit! Fall in the midwest can't be beat! The colors are beyond compare! Thanks to all of the people and pups for a fantastic experience! Below are a few highlights:

New Camera!

I'm excited about Canon's brand new 7D digital SLR. I was able to scoop one up today - being one of the very first people in the world to use it. It's unbelievable. Here's a test shot!

Paintings by Daniel Maltzman!

Little Friends Photo and Daniel Maltzman are teaming up to bring you amazing works of art! The series of paintings, inspired by original Little Friends Photos, are brought to life on canvas by Daniel's incredible artistic vision. Two artists. Two different mediums.

The Patriot Re-Make

I photographed a couple of really patriotic boxer puppies the other morning and one of the photos reminded me so much of the movie, THE PATRIOT, starring Mel Gibson. At the photo shoot, there wasn't a war or anything, but the pup was very passionate about the task at hand and there was definitely an American Flag flying in the background.

WHERE'S THE SQUIRREL, NAL?

This is one of my dogs, Nala, the cock-a-doodle-doo. Like many dogs, she is always interested in befriending squirrels. For some reason, the squirrels don't share that same passion for a new friendship. What jerks.

Nal's passion for befriending squirrels shines through in her outstanding leaping abilities.

Tamar Geller, founder of The Loved Dog™, is a renowned life coach for dogs and the people who love them.

Preferring the term "life coach" to "dog trainer" and "well-mannered" to "obedient," she provides insight to millions of dog enthusiasts nationwide as resident dog expert on "The Today Show." Tamar has also appeared on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" (while training Oprah's three golden retriever puppies), Animal Planet's "Who Gets the Dog," CNN, CBS, ABC, Fox, "Good Morning Britain," as well as in the pages of USA Today, Newsweek, US Weekly, the Los Angeles Times and Self magazine, among others. She is the go-to trainer for celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey, Ben Affleck, Courteney Cox-Arquette, Nicollette Sheridan, Owen Wilson, Brad Paisley and the Osbourne family, among others.

An active philanthropist, Tamar has an uncanny ability to give a voice to dogs, serving as an advisor for the Humane Society of the United States and Best Friends Animal Society. Her extraordinary vision led her to open The Loved Dog™, Southern California's first cage-free doggie daycare and boarding facility, in 1996.
