Some of my favorite spreads from Baxter and JoJo’s book.

First up: the back and front cover.

Yes, that’s a dress that little JoJo is wearing. Too cute for words.

That’s handsome Koa on the left. Graceful Kili on the right. Well, ok, so she wasn’t all grace in this first shot.

I always love it when the humans get involved in the shoot. They had to show me all the activities the dogs loved to do – and boy did they love them all.

Every time Kili caught the ball she would run over to me as if to say, “Look what I got!”

“Want to go in the car?” “Are you in the car?”

Synchronized head tilts courtesy of the word, “car.” We were saying it over and over and they kept tilting together. We were laughing so hard I could barely hold up the camera.

This is one of those moments I regret not having the flip to capture the movement. Grrr.

Hate that my car is in the background, but this ear silhouette opp just showed up in a split second as we were walking to another location.

Boy can catch some air!

Umm, is that a tongue or a hunk of liver in your mouth, Koa?

Thanks, Toby and Kris, for an awesome experience!

Kyla smells it.

Buffy (the buffalo toy). Her first toy. Ever.

New love found again.

First up: Annie. Queen of the household.

Sweet Little Cody. Does this kid love his dog, or what? This is one of those images that makes me take a breath when I see it. You can just feel the moment between them.

Feisty Chloe. Fun. Food Motivated Obsessed. Snorty.

Scrappy Holly. We’ll see more of her later.

And the best for last: the infamous frog costume. Really, folks. Does it get any better than this?
