Puppy Playtime

Hi Everyone!

I just had to post these pictures my husband took of our dogs. The first one is our little westie, Kaylee. She is a tomboy and refuses to stay clean. We end up giving her tons of bathes. She loves to find a mud puddle, lay on her back and rub herself into the mud. The next two are our german shorthair pointer, Cash. My husband took him out for a bit of training yesterday and took these pictures of him on point.
Enjoy!

Spring Time!

Hi Everyone!

After a nice long week of homework, a spent a couple of hours Saturday with the dogs enjoying the nice spring weather. I decided to take a couple of pictures of the group! (minus Spencer...he's not a fan of the mud and grass like the other two) As you can tell, my little white dog loves the mud. She would eat all of it if possible. :)

I took some fun pictures of some cute kids and some pretty ladies on Saturday as well. I will post those as soon as I have them uploaded.

Enjoy the weather before it snows again! :)

A Family's Best Friend

Hi Everyone!

I was frequenting a pet photographer's blog I love and saw a post about one of her clients who had passed away. The photographer encouraged people to photograph their pets before they passed. I felt particularly touched by this post since last week my parents put our 15-17 year old basset-beagle mix to sleep. I'm not overly upset by this since it was really for the best. She wasn't feeling good and couldn't do anything she loved to do (walk, jump on you while covered in mud, escape under the chain length fence, and dig massive holes to China in my mother's garden). So, her passing isn't really much of a surprise.

However, a few months ago, I felt that DD might be reaching her end and felt it was important to take a few portraits. This one is easily my favorite because I've had several people note that she looks like she's laughing/smiling. So, I pass along the message of the pet photographer I love so much...take pictures of your pets!

Ironic enough, on Saturday, I signed up my three dogs for a photo shoot with my favorite photographer, AC Ellis. She's doing the pictures as a fundraiser for the Brookings Humane Society. She might still have some spots open if you're interested. It's only 45$ and you get a release for one picture. Just call or visit the Brookings Humane Society to sign up.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Dogs, Dogs, Dogs

This time of year is pretty slow when it comes to weddings, engagements and senior pictures. So, prior to finals, I had a bit of time to photograph my favorite four legged friends. The first two corgi puppies, Bella and Buck, are my fiance and I's friend, Amy's. They are absolutely adorable. It was hard at times to slow them down...they love to play with each other. The second dog is my mutt of a dog, DD. I got DD for my ninth birthday (and I'm quite a bit older now)...DD is definately in her retirement years. She's just about the nicest dog ever. Her kindness has gotten her in trouble a couple of times. Being a hound, she likes to escape and being a lover, she likes to lick the animal control officer. The third dog I'm featuring is my fiance's dog Haley. She'd a german shorthair pointer. We're actually on the waiting list for a german shorthair this spring. We should have our new "daughter" a couple weeks after our wedding. Finally, I couldn't post pictures of dogs, without featuring my "son" Spencer. He's a humane society reject, but he's absolutely wonderful. He's actually sick right now, so I've been spending the day babying him until I can get him to the vet in the morning. When he's not feeling good, he likes to hide from me. I've so far caught him behind the toliet, under the table, behind the garbage can, and under the bed tonight alone. Hopefully, the weather is too bad tomorrow so I can get him to the vet first thing in the morning.
