Christine and Omero are so cool ! We love them! we are almost neighbors, we share our deep love for our furry kids and even our same adorable Vet! I just love when former clients become dear friends :)

Since then we’ve been talking about having a photoshoot for her AMAZING ” Chubby Cookies” and we finally did ! We even got to photograph a measuring cup that has been in her family for decades!

I recently found this image while browsing my “personal to process” folder, this is one of my favorite pictures from one of my Mexico trips (circa 2007!) That folder has a lot of stuff that I have not processed nor shared with any one. This year I will be sharing more from that “personal” folder as well as my new projects.

May this year be full of blessings and personal exploration, I am very thankful for 2009 and can’t wait to discover what 2010 will bring.
Hope you are as curious as I am !
Happy New Year !!!

We’ve shot a couple of destination weddings together and I’m thrilled that we will be shooting again in Mexico in a couple of months :D

We were so happy to finally get to meet Marcin -who is also a very talented photographer- and “Luna”, a super sweet and gorgeous Pit Bull that they adopted from their local shelter.

aga, marcin+luna :D,
thank you so much for your friendship and support, can’t wait to see you guys again!

I never get to name my dogs…Lola was named by a great person that picked her up from the streets. (thank you nellie!) perfect name for her, she is definitely a cute little lola :)

I adopted Lola from a wonderful organization Tip of Tex k-9 rescue Dee Labunski is doing a fantastic job helping animals in very difficult situations. I have to admit that it was not planned…it just happened…when we saw her picture in Petfinder we just knew. Please checkout her website to learn more about the work she is doing. Her organization is a non-profit, and in need of foster homes, volunteers, donations and of course homes for the 50+ dogs that she has under her care.

My wonderful vet Dr. Bruce

and vet technician John Cortez visited yesterday to check lola….she is Heartworm Positive and we are not sure but she may be pregnant…we will know in a couple of weeks. Heartworm is a horrible deadly disease and very easy to prevent, just one pill a month and done ! If your dogs are not in HW prevention call your vet asap and ask her/him about it. It is transmited by mosquitoes and right now there are lots of them.

It looks like Lola’s HW is not very advanced so she has a very good chance. However she will have to go through a very intensive treatment and there is always a possibility that she will not make it…please send good vibes our way…

for those of you wondering how Booh is doing here are a few pics :)

this is so booh…she is easily entertained by all kinds of critters in the backyard :) she is doing good, however she is very shy around new people, so next time you visit or see me walking her make sure to say hi :) it takes some time but she will warm up to you :) insider tip: treats help a lot ! lol!

and you must be wondering how Booh and Lola get along….its been 2 days but it looks like they will work out their differences :)

]]> http://www.anahiphotoartblog.com/2008/05/12/life-changing/feed/ 0 meet booh ! http://www.anahiphotoartblog.com/2008/03/04/meet-booh/ http://www.anahiphotoartblog.com/2008/03/04/meet-booh/#comments Tue, 04 Mar 2008 14:35:00 +0000 admin http://anahiphotoartblog.com/?p=408 This is a bitter-sweet post. After loosing my 2 dogs to cancer within a 2 year time frame I was heartbroken and said to myself no more pets…It was not easy to visit the shelter, but I found some courage and something wonderful happened….I fell in love again!

here she is, our sweet golden retriever girl:


she is on the shy side, I think she is a little bit scared, so we are going to work on getting her confidence back. we took her for a walk and then we had to put her back in…it was heartbreaking to say goodbye…



see that pink dot ? that means she’s been adopted ! that was last thursday and she will be ready to come home today, yey!


booh will be safe and at her new home with us today, however there are so many dogs that won’t make it… next time you are looking to add a new pet to your family please think about adopting one. We have a big population of great dogs that need a loving home. Please visit your local shelter or rescue organization. This is a great resource, check it out ! www.petfinder.com




thank you so much for reading, this is something I feel very passionate about :)
wish us luck with “booh” !

anahi :)
