Where is winter this year? Shooting in less than ideal conditions. The pups and I are all anxiously awaiting winter. Until then we do the best we can to appreciate the winter we have been given... This afternoon we went out to the property we use for hunting. In the absence of beautiful, fluffy, pure snowfall on the ground I decided to forgo
A few days late with the birthday boys one year photoshoot. Life gets in the way. And that isn't always bad. We packed up the camper for some bird hunting. I am confident the birthday boy preferred that to the time in the studio. I know I did! We won't talk about the ways I overdid it... Returning to the land of the
OMG! What a couple cuties I got to meet this evening! There has always been a sweet spot in my heart for Great Danes. Such gentle giants they are. Cookie is super happy go lucky, what a goof ball. Her brother Cooper was a bit more serious, but a wonderful nice boy :-) So grateful to their mommie for having me over to
This boy is such an incredible joy. I am so happy to have a fellow beach bum in the family at last! We had such a wonderful time. It was a struggle for me to narrow down the images form last night. These are the shots left after culling several times. It was a wonderful evening! My first few years in Michigan I
As the wise adage states, we fear what we don't know... Well, I no longer fear the AKC Dog Show. Leo and I popped our dog show cherry this weekend at the Birch Run Puppy Show put on by the Saginaw Valley Kennel Club. As usual I was a totally nervous wreck of a mom. I have such a fear of letting Leo
I am not sure what it is about spring, maybe the whole rebirth thing and wanting to be reborn in a clean and organized new world... Spring does drive me into a cleaning frenzy. Obviously since deep cleaning is referred to as spring cleaning I am not the only one with these urges. This weekend I was finally able to dig into my
As jealous as my Spinoni Italiano get when I come home from a pet photography shoot with the scent of another dog on me, I think inside they must rejoice that they are not yet again the main subjects. My Spinoni Italiano are so patient and kind with their crazy camera obsessed mother! Today Leo and Tessie were both beyond wonderful as I
We were warned early on that Spinoni don't really "turn on" until there two. Well, our first is just now turning two and by golly, she seems to have matured over night. Even little things just all of the sudden work. I have been trying for a year to get her to catch a tossed treat, and every time I tried the darn thing hit
I had so much fun playing with Harper and her pals I couldn't stop... Plenty of great images from this SUPER fun shoot!
What a wonderful adventure with Harper and her feline friends! Such a great group of critters. Their hoomans aren't so bad either... Tons more to weed my way through, but for now this is it until I get some dinner on the table!
