This morning I had my first shoot of 2017 with the adorable Charlie, whom you see above. Charlie is an emotional support dog, and he is such a charmer! As you can imagine, starting the new year with a new pup in the studio was aces in my book!A few more shots below for your enjoyment.And for your internet shares of the day:+ I loved these photos of people becoming U.S. citizens.+ Even Bon Appetit suggests Trader Joe's appetizers! Fun fact, when the Trader Joe's opened here in Minneapolis, Jamie and I threw a huge party and invited all our friends to try the food. Loved it!+ Nine everyday changes to improve your new year. My favorites? Bring a book with you everywhere and send your best friend flowers.
