Did you know that Nuena Photography is on Yelp? …It’s true. We’ve been on yelp now for about 2 years but we don’t have too many reviews, and it’s time to turn that around!

I had the honor of shooting the 2nd annual Piensa Mas Alla fashion show at Terra SF on May 24th. It was an awesome event, complete with a pink carpet entrance, an awesome raffle, a huge silent auction and lots of food, drink and a fashion show!
Piensa Mas Alla is a fashion show benefit event that supports the Palomita Education Fund, an organization that raises money for Latino education. This year all of the models were all aspiring Latino models! Every year, celebrities help create new tshirts, which are modeled and then sold via a live auction after the fashion show.
If you’re a jewelry fan, you will LOVE Jest Jewels! This is the ULTIMATE stop for bracelets, necklaces, earrings, accessories, etc… all things girly. …It was actually a little overwhelming to walk into the store (in a good way) - the place was packed and as you can see it is covered in jewelry and accessories. I am not a girly girl, but I know for a fact that I would be addicted to this store if I were… 
Check out Backspace, a cool women’s clothing and accessories boutique over near Alamo Square. I shot this business for the Crave SF book (which is going to be out soon!! woo hoo!). Backspace has alot of unique items, many of which are made locally from San Francisco-based artists.
Check out Vanity, another one of the awesome woman-owned businesses in San Francisco that I shot for the Crave SF book which comes out this summer! Vanity is in downtown San Francisco in the financial district. It’s spacious, quiet and very relaxing!
I was so excited that I got to shoot SF Puppy Prep for the Crave book! SF Puppy Prep is a puppy school in downtown San Francisco where they offer different levels of training and social classes for puppies 9 weeks old and up!
I have to say, I am definitely an SF Puppy Prep fan! I started taking Harley to Puppy Prep when he was just 9.5 weeks old and since he’s graduated both kindergarten and jr. high! He’s going to go back for high school this fall.
The great thing too is that if you have a new puppy, they offer special small puppy socials every week, so very young puppies can socialize with other pups their same age - one class for puppies 9-12 weeks and the other for puppies up to 24 weeks. This was really good for Harley and socializing early is definitely really important…. so no regrets there! Since he was exposed to so many dogs and people early on, Harley’s much more friendly and easy going in social settings (especially around other dogs) and just all around a good canine citizen.
Anyway, I could go to on and on about how great this place is. Harley’s 7 months old now and he’s doing really well. He can’t wait to go to high school!
Last night was the GGBA’s annual business expo at Hotel Whitcomb in downtown SF. I exihibited again as a GGBA member and it was awesome. There was a great turnout and I showcased Nuena and Fetch photography as well as my new pet clothing company, Scutte!
Molly Mutt is an awesome dog duvet company here in San Francisco. The awesome thing about Molly Mutt duvets is that you stuff them yourself, and voila - they are instant dog beds. It’s cool because not only are they totally washable and have cool designs, but they help keep old clothes and waste out of landfills that you might otherwise just toss in the trash.
Harley was honored to be the dog model for Molly Mutt’s new bed, “Perfect Afternoon”. I shot this photo a while back, doesn’t he look dapper?!

Picnic’s a super cute clothing/gift boutique up in Russian Hill on Polk Street. I shot this store for Crave a couple weeks ago… check out the photos!
I shot Tami Erin’s Crave SF spread a few weeks ago at an AMAZING sound studio in Pleasanton. It was seriously a dream studio… lights, cameras, equipment galore… really wild!
You may remember Tami as a child from The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking - now she is all grown up and a very successful acting and modeling coach! She started her own academy www.oncameraacting.org, which specializes in training for young actors and models (children to young adult).
Check out some of the photos we took for Crave!
