I just finished the video of Inka and Cinnamon, the mother and daughter labs I photographed in Huntington Beach Park not too long ago. In fact, I wrote a blog post about the pair and promised I would update it once I created the video. What makes this fun is when, well, you need to watch it if you already don't know the kicker.
