this is just a sneak peek … just had to share a few images from a shoot the other night that i’d been looking forward to for some time …


these two little dollfaces — Fritz above and sweet little Greta here on the bridge — belong to fabulously talented photographer couple Dave and Charlotte, human-photographers extraordinaire. if you’re not already familiar with their breath-taking work you definitely need to check them out. and after that, visit Charlotte’s Rainbow Eleven site to see her baby and newborn photography … although you’ll want to be sure the batteries in your cute-meter are fully charged before venturing on over there.


you’ll be seeing much more of these little wieners very soon, as i scramble to catch up with the crazy July we’ve had here at scruffy dog, so stay tuned!

There’s no such thing as too much dachshund in one’s life.
Terrific captures.
These images are incredible Illona!!! I knew you were going to do an incredible job, but these have already blown my expectations out of the water!!!
It was SUCH a pleasure to have our hairy kids photographed by you. You made something that we’ve been unable to accomplish look easy!!! You’ve got an amazing ability to calm the dogs down and put them into a hypnotic state of comfort around you… You’re like the Dog Whisperer!
Thank you so, so much for your hard work – these images will have a special place on our walls and in our hearts.
