2010 Slideshow

January 1, 2011

Creating my end-of-the-year slideshow is one of my favorite tasks of the year. It’s also one of the most difficult; choosing a single favorite image from each session is no easy task. I took on less sessions this year due to Campbell’s arrival, but I was surprised when I went back through my year’s work how many images I had. Thank you to all of my clients, friends, and family for your support in 2010!

I looooove photographing dogs. And I looooooove dogs. And I looooooove Chubs and Bella, the two pups I photographed today. Yes, TODAY. I’m so behind on blogging that I decided to work backwards and start with today’s session. Plus, I like these puppers very much and want to share their cute faces with the whole world (wide web) as soon as possible!

First of all, meet Chubs. He’s a big, huge, cuddly baby. He’s part German shepherd and part rottweiler and part spoiled. Bella is in charge of him, I’m pretty sure. We may include these images in his modeling portfolio.

Princess BELLA is a little lady, full of spunk. She beats up Chubs to the point where he has to visit the vet sometimes. He does not hold a grudge. This session was in her honor, as she has addison’s disease, and her owner wanted to take some images of her while she is healthy. We chose not to think about that too much during the session.

We attempted a few shots of them together. Getting dogs to cooperate for group shots is somewhere between difficult and not even possible, but they did okay!

Do You Etsy?

July 21, 2010

I am a long-time fan of www.etsy.com. If you haven’t ever checked out this website, you need to. It’s kind of like E-bay, only it’s all handmade stuff, and it’s not auctions. Okay, so maybe it’s not all that much like E-bay. But, there are thousands of people on Etsy selling their handmade things, and some of them are really, really amazingly awesome. I have purchased all of Campbell’s hair bows there, and most recently, this collar for Lily from a seller named FunkyMutt.
