penny | orange county pet photographer

meet zoe's newest friend! penny is the cutest bulldog puppy i have ever met. so naturally, i had to get her in front of my camera:













and i also snapped a few of zoe and penny playing... which looks a lot more like fighting. :)











i had so much fun taking these pictures of penny! and i would love to get more into pet photography. if you'd like pictures of your furry friend don't hesitate to contact me!

i just realized that i haven't posted any pictures of our sweet puppy! (shame on me!) i introduced her on our family blog when we brought her home last october but never on this blog... so without further ado, here is our sweet zoe bear:

this is zoe at 11 weeks old, when we first brought her home:





and these are the latest photos of zoe at 11 months old:





i can't believe how much she's grown! she'll be a year old on the 27th. (and i'm pretty sad about it.) we are so grateful to have her. she makes us so happy!

p.s. if you're looking at this from your mobile phone, let me know if you like the new format... thanks!

i had such a great time with these two beautiful little girls! and talk about one fun playdate... complete with sidewalk chalk, a tea party and dress up! makes me wish i was three again. :)

thank you natalie, for letting me come over and join the fun!

now... get ready. because a serious amount of adorable is about to come your way. :)
























told ya! and in my wonderful husband's words, (who was looking over my shoulder as i was downloading the pictures) "that was too easy." and he was right. pretty girls make pretty pictures!

and on a completely unrelated topic... ella's family has a chicken coop in their backyard!

the soffe family | orange county family photographer

i had the wonderful opportunity of taking pictures of my brother's family while we were in utah. it was difficult to find a location in the dead of winter, so we decided to do it at their home. it was quite the challenge since i've never done that before, but i'm happy with the results! thanks for letting me practice on you tyson, tracie, bailey and landon! you guys are awesome!















and of course, we have to include the pets! introducing newton and cielo...
