For 11 years, photographer and mother Robin Schwartz photographed her daughter, whom she considers her muse. But in February of this year, Robin realized that her daughter had become a teenager and no longer wanted to dress up in children's dresses and serve as a personal model for her mother. Then Robin found new objects and themes for her work. This time, her attention shifted to… fashionable dogs. As it turned out, there are quite a lot of people in the world who are ready to spend time and a lot of money to ensure that their dogs are dressed in designer outfits.
