I am so excited for the grand opening of this partnership! Tuscan Willow Pet Boutique and Lotus 9 Designs are joining together in Little Italy of San Diego to open their new pet gallery which features organic pet foods, pet toys, treats, custom leather collars, leather leashes and custom beds. Their grand opening is October 18 and 19, 2008 at 680 W. Beech St. San Diego.

This adorable mascot for Lotus 9 is Luna. She was photographed by Joe Magnani. The collars in the photograph are some of the custom collars that Kelly Ozaki from Lotus 9 designs and sells. She creates all sorts of unique collars, leashes and jewelry. Quite a talented lady. (I am proud to say that she is also my future sister in law!) On Saturday October 25, Tuscan Willow and Lotus 9 will be holding a charity photoshoot at their new gallery and I will be donating my time to photograph pets. There is no session or sitting fee–we just ask that a small donation be made to the San Diego Humane Society. If you would like to reserve a slot, contact Kelly at 619-218-8979 or email her at lotus9@cox.net. Clients that have their pets photographed by me will have online availability to their images with the opportunity to purchase prints. I look forward to meeting you and your dogs next weekend!!!
