The Life and Loves of Carli Davidson
Award-Winning **VIRAL VIDEO**

Humboldt Sentinel
Carli Davidson’s photography was inspired by her own dog Norbert, whose drool she regularly cleans off the walls because he frequent shakes.
Shake, Davidson’s photo series, captures some of the frenzied shakes and drool and the slow-mo fur and eye movements of some pretty adorable pups.
It’s the moments of wonder and laughter and the combination of innocence, ridiculousness, and the strange beauty of it all that caught us by surprise. And it’s pure Carli.
An internationally recognized award-winning photographer and animal trainer, Carli’s photographs have been featured in publications such as Vanity Fair, the New York Times, the Huffington Post, Rolling Stone, and Slate. She lives in Portland, Oregon, with her husband, Tim, pets Norbert and Yushi, and a rotating cast of foster animals.
She describes herself as “an animal obsessed visual artist, photographer, director, and animal and human rights activist.” You can also add author to that list, too.
“
Puppies are awesome, it’s a universal truth,” Carli said about her videos, above and below. “And my thanks to everyone who brought their amazing puppies to the set for us to snuggle with.”
“Excuse the sweat, but I was working in front of a bunch of Fresnel lights and they are verrrry hot! It was making the puppies very sleepy, and making me very gross. Also you’re welcome for my wearing my super hot coveralls that were thoroughly smeared with peanut butter. I wasn’t really planning on being in the shot.“
Carli, her pups, and her videos are nothing less than cute, cuddly and adorable.
We think we’re in love.
