I adore the girl in these pictures. I’ve known her since she was in art school. She used to intern for me. Then shoot with me. And now she’s all grown up and has a booming photography business of her own. This is photographer Amy Kiel, and her super cute puppy (yes, this IS a puppy) Lucy. She’s a Great Dane, and she loves people watching at the park almost as much as we do.

And how could we not take this opportunity to create the first ever Facedown:: Great Dane Style?! I mean, did you NOT see our video on CNN last week?! It’s kinda a thing. You should submit yours. We’re waiting….Facedown (like planking) of girl and dog at gasworks parkThank you Amy. You’re beautiful, funny, smart, a rockin’ photographer, and I love you. I’m so glad we crossed paths so many years ago, and I look forward to another many years as your pal! Cheers, girl!!!!
