Pronounced [Ka-newt], named after the late Berlin Zoo polar bear. My sister Julie volunteers her time fostering litters for the HSSAZ who are to young or underweight to be placed for adoption. So the afternoon before Knut’s new journey I did a few shots in the alley behind the studio. He was first diagnosed as hearing + visually impaired (hence runt of the litter) but grew stronger and developed his senses with every week!

We love photographing in different locations but shooting in a parking garage has got to be our favorite! So many delicious pockets of light, angles and we get to escape the strong Arizona sun. On this day though the wind was rolling through. We couldn’t help but laugh as I had thanked the weather gods earlier for such an awesome clear sunny day. I guess it was their little joke?. Dang it, totally jinxed us.

Check out the goods we captured of tim + nicole + lilly + baby in womb!
