Yay for Doggies!!!


Okay, so over at iheartfaces they are having a "pets only" challenge this week... HOORAY! It is PERFECT timing because I just shot the local 4-H dog club's portraits for display at the fair! It was AMAZING! I only get to pick one image for the challenge at iheartfaces, but I will for sure post more of my favorite images from the shoot soon... :)





I chose this image because I LOVE the look in the dog's eyes... it seems to say, "really?... you have me sitting on a bench???"



make sure to check out iheartfaces and all the great pet entries this week!!

Danielle... my beautiful friend.

I love this woman. She has been a true friend to me, and an inspiration. She is a wonderful mother. And she is GORGEOUS. What fun we had last night with a bottle of red and seamless white paper in the studio... The only thing spilling, though, was creativity!
