My friends at Dallas Dog Life are publishing a directory ! They have lots of good information and fun activities on their website, but the directory is fabulous. I keep mine in the car!

“This first edition includes more than 200 DFW dog-friendly business listings, emergency veterinary clinic information, informative articles, and more! You can’t beat the price – only $5 for a directory packed full of information that any local dog-lover needs close at hand. Buy one for yourself and a friend and have the peace of mind that $1 of the purchase price – yes, a full 20%! – goes to the SPCA of Texas to benefit their spay/neuter program.”

I recently photographed this handsome little newborn boy, Nicholas, and fell in love with his gorgeous curls and sweet little face. I love it when babies fall asleep and we are able to gently slip them into fun hats and cocoons! This one fit him perfectly. We’re getting quite a collection of handmade baby stuff in a variety of colors and textures — and I think adding texture to a photograph is a big deal. If you’re in the market for some cute things for baby, check out www.etsy.com – a great resource for finding handmade items and purchasing directly from the artist.
