Help this puppy find a home!

This morning we found this malnourished puppy in our front yard. She looks about 6 months old and is very sweet though timid. We can't keep her but we really don't want to take her to a shelter as pit bulls usually end up getting put down. It looks like she was taken care of at one point -she appears to know how to shake and is very happy around people and inside the house. We called all the local shelters to see if anyone reported a lost dog but didn't have any luck. We really hope we find a loving home for her a.s.a.p. We gave her a bath, flea medicine, and food and now she needs a home! Email me at amy@amyhinden.com

Avenue

She's lucky she has such a cute face. She completely depleted my tomato garden. All 200+ of them, even the green ones.

Paris and Normandy

I don't want to jinx myself but I think my Paris album is done!!!! Just need to design the cover tomorrow.....
Here are a few favs I stumbled on today while wrapping up the album.

Paris

I can't believe it's already been 9 months since I was in Paris and I am just now seriously getting around to putting an album together! It's been an overwhelming task with over 2000 photos to go through. I finally edited it down to my favorites and Matt was kind enough to organize the images into appropriate folders for me so I have been trying to do a section a day. Hopefully I will be done by the end of the month and then I will start my London album. I thought I would share a couple images from the section I am working on today.

Federmann Family, Lompoc, CA

We're having a girl!

We can't wait for 4/26
Only four more months to go!

We got our tree!

Family photo?



Ave helped sniff out just the right one.



We were super excited to cut down our own tree this year!



Us on our hayride



Now we get to decorate it tonight :)

Flytrap Screen Tees (boys)

As promised here is some kid stuff from Flytrap. I am dying of cuteness right now!

Halloween

I'm not usually a big Halloween person but when I saw the pumpkin costume at Petsmart I was done for. It was all downhill after that. I think we had an Avenue themed Halloween:



Our friends and neighbors brought their dog, Sage, over to play and I took advantage of the opportunity and asked them to snap a family photo of us.

Julia and Johnny Wedding, Prather, CA

On the outside Julia is all girl but the truth is she is a total tomboy at heart. And Johnny is the type of guy who wears his heart on his sleeve. It's Julia who had to convince Johnny that he didn't need to buy a tent heater for camping, and she who has to bait their fishing poles...and it's Johnny who has to drag Julia shopping. Together they are amazing; a total blast to be around and up for absolutely anything which is a photographer's dream! I knew I wouldn't have to think twice about asking them to sit on some dusty rocks or trek up some hills which covered her parents beautiful property where they got married. The ceremony started a bit late so we ran out of sun and time to do all my crazy ideas I knew would suit their fun personalities ( I had been eyeing the trampoline and bright blue wheel-barrel!) but on the flip side we got to take some cool night shots.



I LOVE netted veils!!!







I love this shot of the bridemaids- Johnny's limo was coming down the hill and all the girls jumped in to cover up Julia.

Bethany and Alejo Engagement, Pasadena, CA

Alejo and Bethany are the type of people that make you feel like old friends. They decided to have their session in downtown Pasadena which was an awesome backdrop for urban photos that fit their personalities perfectly. It is always extra rewarding to work with people who get as excited about their photo-shoot as I do. I can't wait for their wedding!
