I've fallen pretty far behind on keeping my current shoots here on the blog, and there are a few four-legged subjects that definitely need to be mentioned...! Here's Tasha, who's breaking into show business and needed some portfolio pictures to be sure her agent has her looking her best. The shot list was specific - sitting, standing, and laying down.

Tasha did great with all three of her poses, and even gave us plenty of tell-tale (no pun intended) smiles to let us know she was enjoying the attention. Go get 'em, Tasha.

Also, our friend Grace recently brought over Portia, who was just a riot in how ambivalent she seemed to the whole photo shoot thing. We made nearly a thousand exposures of Portia for her own portfolio as well as for a magazine stock call, and when she wasn't falling asleep she was doing an amazing job of looking great for the lenses. Next time, Portia, I'll wear my chicken suit and crank some disco to keep things more spirited...? But that said, GREAT job, and thanks to you both!

Lastly, I don't want to forget to mention that NSALA is holding an adoption event at Lord & Taylor in the city on Thursday, April 16, at 6 pm - the address is 5th Ave. at 39th St.

The advertisement for the event features a shot of Beth Stern, one we made on our last visit to the League...
