Say Happy Holidays to Jenna and Jacob ! I took this little gem yesterday in Riverside by The Mission Inn. What a beautiful area. Quaint, quiet, and just enough of Christmas to pull off this shot. Even if they know you, kids and animals are the hardest to shoot. © Corlyce M. Olivieri Corlyce.smugmug.com

This is Bootie Cutie. Are you ready for a Bootie Cutie Holiday Season ? © Corlyce M. Olivieri Corlyce .smugmug.com

Remember Three's Company ? I sure do. It used to be one of my favorite shows on t.v. Who could forget Jack, Chrissy, Janet, and The Ropers ??? Well, Chrissy AKA Suzanne Somers, happens to be a Palm Springs resident. Lucky us.© Corlyce M. Olivieri Corlyce.smugmug.com

This Holiday Season, I have myself involved with shooting calendars, raising money for rescue animals here in the Coachella Valley. Below is a shoot for DIVAS AND THEIR DOGS. Brenda Lynn Martin is instrumental in getting local celebrities together and venues to shoot. Pictured with her is Diva, Bella da Ball, AKA Brian, his husband, Ken, and their precious daughter, Holly. This Holiday Season, if you're thinking about adopting a furry family member, please go to your local shelter, and save a soul. We were all put here to help one another, not ignore suffering. Speak up for critters, they cannot speak for themselves. Thank you. © Corlyce M. Olivieri Corlyce.smugmug.com

For those of you who don't know me, I have been published in several magazines; Women's Surf Style Magazine, Pacific Paddler, a couple of calendars, The Santa Cruz Sentinel, and Santa Cruz Parks and Recreation Guide. This was my first cover shot for Adventure Sports Journal, a Northern California publication based out of Santa Cruz, Ca. © Corlyce M. Olivieri Corlyce.smugmug.com

This is Rick Freeman, one of many who participated in Trio's AAP Holiday Gift Drive. Before I moved to the Palm Springs area, I followed Trio on Facebook, and thought this is the kind of community I would like to get involved with and support. Yesterday's gathering was a huge success to insure that ALL members of our community have a joyous Holiday Season.© Corlyce M. OlivieriCorlyce.smugmug.com
