My New Blog!
Hope to see you soon.

Something new is on the way... what could it be?

Ella has a sneaking suspicion that something cool is coming.
Stay tuned!

Skyler - one super handsome dude

Skyler is a very handsome gentleman with a lovely lion's mane. He lives with Chase (featured down below) and they have a pretty cute relationship - or at least they put on a good show for me.

Who says I'm old?

Chase was a really sweet 13 year old boy. He gave me his very best during our shoot. He had the sweetest little curls in his hair on his back and tail.

I'm featured on Austin Tidbits!

Oh happy day! Austin Tidbits included me in a feature on services for your dog. In case you don't know Austin Tidbits is a very cool on-line publication that features the "inside scoop" on everything Austin.

The lovely dog image they used is of Cassidy looking down with fluffy clouds behind her. I think Cassidy's mom is super excited about this!

Thank you Austin Tidbits!!

Wee Rescue Event

I volunteered my services to Happy Tails Pet Resort this past weekend. They were having a flea market to raise money for Wee Rescue. There were some definite wee sized dogs and then there was a giant of a dog named Arthur - I bet you can guess which one is Arthur...

Is that dog snarling at me? Who cares...it's adorable!

So sweet!

Come and get it!

Ella absolutely loves this yellow ball between my feet... I mean LOVES it. I like to steal it from her and wedge it between my legs, feet, wherever - so she has to wrestle it away. She seems to like this game too. As you can see here she usually has the upper hand or paw.

The other Imelda Marcos - The Philippines will never be the same

Yes, this beautiful lass down below goes by Imelda Marcos. I had the best time photographing this pint sized dynamo. She is spunky, quick and full of energy.

Big is better!

Look how good Kate looks at 20x30! This beautiful print adorns the wall of Kate's house and it is really lovely. I always try to capture at least one very special image in each shoot that will turn out to be an amazing fine art piece for you to display - and if your going to display a fine art piece... bigger is always better!

The only way Tuna can really be close to Ella

Tuna loves Ella and Ella doesn't love Tuna... it's a sad fact. However, Tuna can now nuzzle her very own picture of Ella. We framed our favorite Ella picture and it has been sitting on the floor until we decide where to hang it. Apparently Tuna decided that this is now her nuzzling spot. It's the only place in the whole office that she will lay down. Oh bitter sweet love.

Bobby Francesca - the one and only

What a lovely kitten. Bobby F. is a real gentleman. Just look at that regal pose - he should be wearing a little crown.

Ella likes to howl

Ella seems to enjoy howling these days. She howls at the trees, the squirrels, other dogs and her parents. I guess Ella has found her voice.

The lovely Tuna

In case you didn't know - I photograph cats too! I know my website leans to the dog side, but I do love taking pictures of purring fluff monsters as well.

Ladies and Gentlemen - the site is up!!!

I can hardly believe it - my site is up and it is BEAUTIFUL!
I have to give a HUGE shout out to Sara Noble. She created this wonderful site for me and it is beyond anything I could have hoped for. You will notice on the main site you can choose "pet portraits" or "everything else." The "everything else" site is in the works. It will contain a variety of imagery from my personal work and some client work.
I hope you all like the site - let me know what you think.

My favorite pix right now!

I just absolutely love these pictures. Kate helped me produce some amazing shots. She is one cool canine lady.

Zuni and Nutmeg - personality packed!

Nutmeg is shy but super sweet. Zuni is a major ham with a smile that won't quit. Can you guess who is who?

Cassidy in the sky with diamonds...

Cassidy and I had a great time. She is a super cool dog with lots of spunk. Look at that tongue!

Charlie is a good boy

This is Charlie. He lives with Kate, the terrier featured below. Charlie is a sweetie and really knows how to pose.

What a face!

This is Kate - she also goes by Kate "Killer" Jackson and "horse kitty." What a super cutie pie. She was definitely ready for her close-up

Meet my inspiration... say "hello" to Ella!

Ella enjoys staring at trees all day long - wishing, hoping, longing for a squirrel to come down and play.

A business begins...

This blog will provide additional visual support for my photography website. As of now this is a work in progress. My website http://nicolemlakarphotography.com should be up by the end of February. Wish me luck!

More to come.....
