One of the biggest things that happened to me this year was getting a puppy! This is Nia, a cockapoo, and she's about 3.5 months old in this photo. It was her first photoshoot, and she was a super good girl, even thou the spotlights frightened her a bit, at first. This was taken off the scene, when we let her wonder around the studio, and then she was even posing for the camera! I was about 6ft away (2m), and at first she was just sitting and being playful, and then she lay down with this adorable side eye. She turned out to be natural, and even got a few modeling gigs since!
