Dog photographer = cutest job ever

Oh my goodness, I've been so excited to share this with you! This weekend, we were lucky enough to visit animal photographer Sharon Montrose in her L.A. studio, as she photographed a puddle of golden retriever puppies and a French bulldog. Seriously, how cute is this photo??!!! We were dying the whole time. See more photos here.

Rachel Dangerfield said...

Good gracious! So cute. Wouldn't that be a wonderful job? I just want to rub my face in that puppy pile (is that odd? probably!).

I should also tell you, I looked through the "My Parent's Were Awesome" site and it made me so happy! There's nothing better than looking through old photos of people in love!

Lauren said...

So cute! What a great job that'd be.

Jenny said...

Oh goodness, I just looked through her blog and I think I found another site to stare at for hours and waste time. Thank you for such an adorable picture!

Claire said...

I have a golden retriever puppy (well, she's well on her way to adulthood now) and they really are the sweetest dogs. At the moment she is playing with her two soft ducks after thier return from repairs- she is so adorable. I want an armful of them!!

Signorina Svizzera said...

Ahhhh! The cuteness!

So darling! I could eat them up.

Amanda said...

Dandelion Daydreams said...

Not fair, how can someone actually get paid to do this! Best job ever :)

Kelsey Parker said...

So you were in LA! I flew there for the weekend as well, to take my best friend's engagement photos. While on our way to the Griffith Park Observatory, we drove past someone who looked JUST like you. I even exclaimed, "I think that was Joanna Goddard!" Did you happen to be in Griffith Park around three on Saturday? :]

Wonderful article-- popped over to her blog and love the photos she got of them! Such personality!

I have Sharon's set of goose photos on my bathroom walls - they are too funny. I had a pet goose called Gertrude when I was a little girl and she would hiss and honk if anyone but me came near her. Now Gertie (or a similar looking goose...) graces my walls - I love them, and all of Sharon's work, can't wait to see the French bulldog ones!

Melissa Blake said...

I just want to take them all home!!

{lovely little things} said...

Cute!

Elizabeth said...

Golden retrievers are my favorite. You know how some dogs just lose their charm when they go from pup to big dog? Well that does not happen with goldens...that's why I love them so much. They stay big balls of fluff forever :)

Bird Trouble said...

I just screamed "awwww" so loud.

Joanna Goddard said...

kelsey, yes!!!! i was there with my friend jen, doing a shoot. SO funny!!! :)

TheBeautyFile said...

I mean, there's NOTHING better than her job. NOTHING!

Jo said...

re: the above post

I love Griffith Park. I live a couple of blocks away and am there at least 3 days a week to hike. Did you get coffee and treats at Trails??

Carissa said...

so so cute. I love puppies! I think it would be so fun to be a pet photographer. I'm like an amateur pet photog, always snapping pics of my lil Mal-Shi! I've gotten some great shots but it's not always easy. I have to say "treat" A LOT! haha.

Chloe said...

EEEEEEEK! So CUTE!

Brooke said...

I'd do anything for that job!

Myne Whitman said...

This is cute.

Remember to vote on my blog.

Anne said...

I'm a big fan of Sharon's work, so I loved this peak behind the scenes! Just bought three of her pictures for our nursery, but should make room for more! ;)

Jill of All Trades said...

There's just nothing like armfuls of licking, squishy, fluffy, licky puppies. I had the pleasure of puppy holding this weekend too.

Middle Aged Woman Blogging said...

This almost makes me want another puppy!!! Too cute!

Megan Coyle said...

That's adorable!

Closet Cravings said...

I've been having a less than fabulous week. I'm convinced now that what I need is a puppy-bunch hug. =)

Eliana Tomás said...

so adorable. so cute. the shots are gorgeous. all of them.

Teresa @ good-grace said...

oh so fun... and adorable little pups!!

Amanda said...

Gahhh, this put me over the edge. I've been wanting sheepdog puppy so bad (they're so fluffy and cute). I think there should be a form of therapy where you can just sit in a room full of fluffy sweet puppies and listen to music.

The Lil Bee said...

OK this girl might just have my dream job. SO freakin' cute!!

Kerri Lynne said...

awww!!

anotherfishinthesea said...

what a fabulous job and cute pictures! makes me want puppies even more!

Helen said...

ahhhh i want this job! although in my experience with my 2 dogs, it is so hard to get them to do what you want. sometimes they like posing, sometimes they don't.

Mad's mom said...

Could she and they be any more cute. Yummy puppy yumminess. And yes, I've the 48th person to say I want her job.
Though I wouldn't want to film chihuahaus. Have to draw a line somewhere.
