Can you teach an old dog new tricks??

YES, you can teach an old dog next tricks, if you go to DOGSTARS!

Dogs come a running when Georgina is around. She is celebrity dog trainer to the stars and can train your dog to just 'listen to you', do tricks, or become the next celebrity pooch in the movie industry. I can not say enough wonderful things about her and her dog training skills and tricks. She is UNBELIEVABLE!

Here's a peak of some fun tricks





speaking of which... Mr Whiskey needs to get back to it...I gots to sign him up for the next classes.
more photos can be seen at BEYOND BELLIES PHOTOGRAPHY or if you would like photos of your dog in action!

Sometimes the universe shows us signs ... just a share with you...

Today on Oprah ;) was a show about living your dreams.
I had to take a break to watch, because one of my mentors,
Annie Leibovitz, was on the show.
Over the years many people have come up to me and compared me to her (I'm so flattered by this) or they say ..'that movie Almost Famous.. it's like your life....' Perhaps it because of our work for Rolling Stone Magazine, because we tour with bands and/or photograph celebrities... who knows - I would like to think that it's because we both have STRONG photographic images . Weather it's a celebrity, a wedding, a baby, a portrait or a rockstar... it's all the same, the passion shines though us to make that photo talk.

Annie, I have always loved the person you are. Honest, humble, and never taking life or your career for granted. I try to live my life the same.
At 51, Annie decided to become a mom.
Sometimes when you have the best job in the world... you wake up one day and you forget about time..
Wow, a mom at 51! If she wasn't a mentor before, she is now for sure!

Thank you for being such an inspiration and I can not wait to get your new book.

Sometimes I work too much.
That's what happens when you are self employed, and have a career you love.
I wanted to blog about some of the things and people I love.

Without you, I wouldn't be the person I am. Thanks for supporting and always being there for me. xoxo

I commute a lot between L.A. and various places in the US and Europe, but I always know where my roots are! Happy Birthday Canada!
