We all could use more friends like Adrien! She surprised her friend Tracy this Christmas with one of my sessions! We did the session while Tracy was out of town and Adrien was dog-sitting Duchess the great dane, Jax the maltese, Miles the shitzu, Dash the chihuahua, and Cocoa the yorkie.
Tracy has rescued several chihuahuas from Mexico, including her own Dash, and the infamous London and Lola, that now live with Adrien, and her two other dogs, Howie and Denver.
We started the session at Marymoor Park in Redmond where the dogs rocked out up on stage! From left to right, Jax, Cocoa, Duchess, Dash, and Miles.







We ended the session at Tracy’s beautiful home! Happy and tired. It’s hard work being photographed!

I spent a beautiful December morning with Sugie, Sally, and Thumper. They were all such happy and fun dogs! We had a wonderful time.
This session was an extra special and a heartbreaking one, because Sally had been diagnosed with bone cancer. Her human Becky wanted photos to remember her sweet Sally by in the years to come. Sally was only six years old at the time.
I emailed Becky yesterday to tell her that I had posted more sneak peeks on my Julie Austin Photography facebook page and learned that Sally had passed earlier yesterday. Rest in peace dear Sally. You are missed.
Sugie is a lovely girl. So very poised and refined. A true lady.
Thumper is totally hugable and lovable. Becky and her family are fostering her for Old Dog Haven. One of my very favorite rescues.
I have said this before, and I’ll say it again…please don’t wait until it is too late for photos of your dogs. You don’t need to hire me. Go buy a disposable camera, or use your phone, anything! Just take some pictures!



Rest in peace Sally.
I’ve had the best time photographing Adrien’s pack of dogs. We’ve had more than one session and I’ll map out the details…
First off, I was introduced to Adrien by Debbie (who belongs to Lucy). Our first session was with Debbie and Lucy. Then Adrien adopted London (who was rescued from Mexico by Tracy, more to come on her and her pack later). Oh, Lola was also rescued from Mexico by Tracy. Ole’ Tracy! So, then I did another session for Adrien that included London. Then Adrien bought a session for Tracy as a surprise Christmas gift. Lola and London were there at that session too, and I couldn’t resist snapping a few more pictures of them then. Adrien also bought a session for her mother as a Christmas gift and I’ll be doing that in February.
All of the sessions so far have been a total blast! Adrien and her dogs are so much fun to hang out with.
