Life's A Happy Game

Every photo session brings surprises! I had a wonderful session photographing Ebby's owner for her business and at the end, Ebby got her own impromptu shoot! She's a 9 yr old rescue dog and so good natured. I loved these photos and couldn't resist posting a couple!

Don't you want to be the recipient of this gaze?




Enjoy!

Isnt It Beautiful To See Two People So Much In Love?

Shout out to the Barenaked Ladies for this lyric from the song "Be My Yoko Ono." These lines were too long to use as the title, but enjoy them:
"If I was john and you were yoko,
I would gladly give up musical genius,
Just to have you as my very own, personal venus."

Now that's love.

At the end of October, I have the honor of photographing Marissa and Heath's wedding. We hung out a couple of weeks ago to take some engagement photos. It was especially important for their dog, Pachanga, to be a part of the shoot. Sorry, Marissa & Heath, if I spelled his name wrong. Anyway, Pachanga is definitely a part of their family, so he got to be one of my models. He exhibited some diva behavior, but we got what we needed! We'll see how he does at the wedding.









Less than a month to go until the big day! I know it's going to be awesome! In the meantime, everyone should enjoy autumn! I went apple picking today (I don't really eat apples, but I guess that's besides the point) and the orchard was packed! I took a bunch of photos, so hopefully I'll get some of those edited and posted. I also conquered a fear by going through one of those "hedge mazes." Those things freak me out. Clearly I watch too much TV and too many movies. The Shining anyone?

You're Not Even Aware, You're Such a Funny Pair

The title of this post comes from the song "Best Friends" sung by Pearl Bailey on the Fox & the Hound soundtrack. These are the lyrics for the first stanza:

When you're the best of friends
Having so much fun together
You're not even aware, you're such a funny pair
You're the best of friends

These words struck me as the perfect description for the following photo.

{nick & cody}

They certainly are a funny pair.

As an aside, I photographed Nick when he was about 6 weeks old. Now he's almost two! It's an amazing experience to be able to consistently photograph the same children throughout their lives. I've been lucky to be able to do that, and hope to keep doing it!
