Snow Day!!

January 27, 2009 – 8:45 pm

I don’t think anyone was more excited about today’s snow day than my son. It’s funny how he doesn’t ever get cold- he’s probably been sledding for four hours straight!

However, in a close second to my son is my dog Daisy. She loves, LOVES the snow. It makes her so happy!

 

She’s had that red ball since she was a puppy- it’s her favorite thing in the world!

 

Little Henry- he isn’t quite as overjoyed by the snow- especially since it’s deeper than his little legs!

  

How cute is he? He tries so hard to keep up with crazy Daisy!

 

You gotta love a good snow!!  

And you’ve gotta love how I still haven’t updated my copyright. Better go do that now, oops!

Bailey

January 15, 2009 – 6:16 pm

Sometimes I meet dogs that have such a gentle spirit it almost brings a tear to my eye. Bailey is one of those dogs. Kind, joyful, playful and gentle- she’s brought happiness and love into her

people’s lives for the past 15 years.

 

Despite a few health problems related to her “maturity”, she still finds great happiness in romping around in her yard and especially in 

munching down her favorite treats. 

I love her white face- and especially her white eye lashes! She’s a beautiful girl- inside and out.

Haley and Herbie

January 14, 2009 – 8:34 pm

So… in case you haven’t noticed…. it’s a little bit nippy outside! Wow!

So what better time to schedule a shoot with a three year old, right? This is poor little Haley all dressed up and trying really hard to smile but she is FREEZING! Look at her little white knuckles.

 

She was so cute- trying to be a trooper. So…  we did get a few shots with her in that adorable dress before we put on the coat. That made her a little happier!

I’ve found some little dogs really hate the cold, too. But Herbie didn’t mind at all- he was having a ball and posing up a storm!

  

He’s a total ham- and the funny thing is that he begs on command. And he holds it forever! I don’t think I’ve ever seen another dog take posing to that extreme!

This was a pretty short photo shoot because we really couldn’t keep Haley outside for very long or she might have frozen solid. 
So.. we took her inside and let her show off her other pet:) Butterscotch also holds his poses- even with a monkey on his ear!

Winter Break!

January 5, 2009 – 8:53 pm

Wow- were the heck have I been?  Taking a few weeks off. Whew!

I can safely say I’ve done very little but eat for the past two weeks. My son was out of school and I just wanted to spend some time with him- so we have just been relaxing, visiting friends, riding horses and watching basketball. And you know, I don’t have much to show for it in the way of photos.I did take this one of the two dogs in front of the tree.

Doesn’t my shepherd look joyful with that jingle bell? NOT. She hates anything that makes noise! She was seriously pathetic but I made her pose for just one picture:) Then I set her free!

My little dog actually loved the bells and kept running around in circles to make them ring more. ( at least that’s what I’m telling myself- I guess it’s entirely possible he was just going nuts!)

Oh- and can you tell it’s the year of the Cuisinart? I got a food processor and my son got a popcorn maker which is SUPER cool! (OK, I admit I got it for him and I’m the only one who has used it- but is that so wrong?)

I have a few fun new photography toys and I have been busy trying them out. The biggest one is a wacom tablet- which I know all my photographer friends are probably already using- but I’m a little behind the times on getting one! It’s basically a pen that you can use instead of a mouse when photo editing and it is much more precise. However, it is SO  hard to get used to!! Ugh!! I was just trying to touch up a reflection in a girl’s glasses and I erased half of her eye. I’m thinking I need some practice on that one…

The other things I’ve been working on are some renovations to my website, my logo colors and my blog. Coming soon…….. :)

So a belated Happy New Year to you all- I’m looking forward to a fantastic 2009. Hurray!
