I was really excited about this week’s Project 52 theme, Bridges. However, I wasn’t really able to execute it the way I had hoped. With no time, no concept and no pets, this is what I came up with…
   Maybe Cynthia Wood of Georgian Bay Studios had better luck. Check out her Bridges here and follow the blog link circle. One month down, only eleven to go! The past month has been an endless storm…in my brain! I’ve had so many ideas for my business that the wheels in my head have been spinning non-stop. So, how are my goals and to-dos coming along? Well, in an effort to separate myself from the pack of other local pet photographers, I’ve decided to gear all of my work towards capturing the coast and the pets who live here. This idea came to me during my last photo shoot with Skyy and Rain at the beach. Being born and raised in San Diego, I live quite the stereotypical coastal lifestyle. So, I thought why not show that through my photography? I plan to focus hard on everything coastal and blog about it frequently; Everything from dogs on the beach to home decor, tropical drinks to fun things and places to do and see. I’m really looking forward to sharing all my coastal adventures with my fans and clients in hopes that they’ll get to know me on a more personal level. And that brings me to my “snapshot.” Can you imagine me with my three dogs at the beach attempting to get this image ? Believe it or not, once I tired out the dogs, they were content watching me set up the shot, and I achieved this image in the first take! For me, life’s a beach!
 As for the rest of my goals, taking a look back on my January Snapshot…
1 comment Hi Ali – Great post. Nice job keeping accountable to your goals by checking in with them regularly! I love your idea of specializing in what you know and love. Your coastal shots are wonderful, and with another NoCounty coastal pet photographer having moved out of the country, that leaves a definite opening that needs someone talented to fill it – that’s you! Thanks for the inspiration you provide to other photographers – and for sharing your lovely images (not only with the pet parents, but with the rest of us thru your blog)!February 1, 2012 – 1:58 pm

Can’t believe he is 12.January 27, 2012 – 10:43 am What a cute family. Great jumping shot, loving the lens flare Love it, and the full session too!January 27, 2012 – 8:59 am I love the silhouette shot — perfect!January 27, 2012 – 8:58 am Wow – he looks (and obviously feels) great for a 12 year old boy! Love the flare in the second shot.January 27, 2012 – 8:45 am It looks like Tahoe and his family had a fun day with you. Love those seniors!January 27, 2012 – 7:31 am Great images for this week’s theme, Ali!January 27, 2012 – 5:54 am This session had all the elements to be labeled an “ideal session.” It had everything…an obedient and friendly dog, a welcoming and kind client, two locations starting at the home and followed by the beach, playful kids, nice weather, and last but not least, Margaritas! With that said, I think these images speak for themselves, but let me give a quick introduction to one of the coolest and sweetest dogs I know, Tahoe. He just celebrated his 12th birthday (wow, that’s like 84 in dog years!) and even though he’s technically a senior citizen, he’s got the heart of a young pup. He’s still able to climb up and down the steps in his backyard that take him to one of his favorite spots where he can enjoy the coastal view. On the beach, he plays a mean game of football with his family. It’s hilarious how good he is at intercepting the ball! And when the day comes to an end, he gladly shows his gratitude by resting at his father’s side. Cheers to Tahoe living his life to the fullest!
