Dogs and their people

This was a comical session. It started smoothly and the dogs were listening well, so we took the leashes off. Well, the fuzzy one realized he was free and started running through this boardwalk maze. His "mom" and I stayed put while "dad" and Darin went after him, and the yells and noises we heard were quite funny, and increasingly irritated and exhausted. This is a story I think all dog owners can appreciate. Who hasn't had to run down their block in a bath robe with a squeaky toy, or tried to keep up with a lightening fast dog through the park just waiting for them to stop and smell something? Our dog trainer told us he believes dogs have tails so there is something to grab when they decide to bolt. I've used that trick a time or two. Anyway, it all ended well, with time left to capture some sweet moments.

Engaged

These two were an absolute riot, especially Reggie (that's not his name, I just like to call him that...long story). ;) They were so cute and willing, and came up with some of their own shots. We had a blast and I've been so anxious to get these edited and share a few, so here they are...

Family Pho-Video sample

This is a sample of my new Pho-Videos for family or kid sessions. It can be created with any number of photos, and can be used for the web, as with Facebook or other social networking sites, or burned to DVD to watch on the flat screen (dvd version is high-resolution). It's the coolest thing around! Ask me for details!

Happy Girl

This was a fun session as Little Miss A was so happy and silly! We played on the stairs and in the grass and ended up with a wide variety of images, which sparked my creativity when editing. M and R - I know you've been anxiously waiting on this sneak peek, so thank you for your patience, and enjoy...

I love the dad in the background here...letting her climb, but being there to catch her if she falls. As she grows up, that will be more valuable to her than ever.





Love the sunflare here, and the dreamy, vintage-y feel of this conversion. She was so adorable how she'd run away, and then look back to make sure mom and dad were still there...
