We’re in the final months of 2013, and that means the staff at One Tail at a Time is busy preparing their 2014 calendar! I was happy to work with them again this year, taking portraits of this year’s models. One of the featured pups is this sweet and shy chihuahua.

Make that two chihuahuas!

This sassy lady even had her nails done for the shoot.


And I just about died when their human broke out the tiny sombrero. Loved it!

And what better place to take pictures of pups than one of their favorite hangouts: the beach?


Even when shaking off, this canine is adorable!

This stately portrait was photo-bombed by a most excellent catch in the background.

All of the pups were ready to shine for the camera.

And they took direction well, too.


One model gets some extra lovin’ for a job well done.

This friendly face was begging for some playtime.

What an excellent fetch!


This pup loves the water, so after dropping off his catch…

…it was right back into the lake!

Look at the smile on this sweet girl. The cutest!

The last dog up for pictures was this all-white chihuahua…

…who knew how to WERK for the camera!

A big thank-you goes out to all our models and their humans. Keep an eye out for the 2014 One Tail at a Time calendar- support this wonderful rescue organization by buying a copy for each room of your home!
