Dogs and Horses and Cats, Oh MY!!!

Miss Freckles is making herself more at home all the time. Now she's taken to chewing things up that aren't hers, and has started digging in the garden areas. We're working on that. She got even more new toys and things to chew on today in the hopes that we can teach her 'hers' from 'ours'. We'll continue the formal training in September when classes start up again.

Eric and Michael and Gaelen have her down at the beach right now, I got this image from Eric's camera phone.

Sounds like they're having a blast down there.

My mom and I are attending the "Boomer Bash" tonight, I have donated a pet portrait package to the cause, and it will be in the oral auction. So of course I have to take some of my favorite pet portrait studio samples to show off to get the price jacked up and up and up... should be fun.

This is a flyer I put together to promote my pet portraits.

And off the subject... I had a client walk in yesterday and ask if I'd do her portraits on the spot. Ok. She said that she'd NEVER seen a picture of herself that she liked. And she's in her mid-60s. So you know there must be a LOT of pictures of her out there, and she doesn't like a single one of them. So... no pressure... LOL - We got started and tried this and that and finally came up with an image that she LOVES. She said the more she looks at it, the more she likes it. Yay! Mission accomplished!

She walked in here very doubtful that we could make anything she liked, she hated every image I took of her, until she started to relax a little and her real personality started to shine thru. Eventually we got exactly what she wanted.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Marshmallow farm?

On the way home from the Tillamook Forest Center last Sunday, Eric stopped the car so I could snap some shots of what looks like a farm that produces giant marshmallows. We watched the machine that wrapped these giant hay bales in white plastic. Why they do this, I don't know. To keep the hay fresh, perhaps? It is kinda fun to picture these things as giant marshmallows, tho.

I had the extreme pleasure of attending and capturing images at a very special wedding recently. I've known the family for some time, and always enjoy being around them, they are all just super nice folks. I did Karissa's Senior Portraits a couple of years ago, and we got some of the most awesome images... here is one of my favorites. And here is one of my favorite shots from the wedding. What a lovely couple! Congratulations, I wish you all the very best!

Road Trip! Part Eight: The Tetons

 From Denver, we headed up to Moran, Wyoming for a glimpse of the Tetons with their fresh layer of snow.  Here are some of the shots I got the day we arrived. We got up early the next morning and went horseback riding.  It was 23 degrees! What a blast!!   There's a magpie on the curb saying, "Good Morning!" Lots of horse's asses...  The horse ranch life... hot coffee, chewing tobacco and cigarettes, and lots of horses.  They have a herd of 130 horses and mules.  What fun!  Here is a link to the outfit we went with:   Grand Teton and Jackson Hole Horseback Riding - Teton Horseback Adventures This is Holly, the mare I rode. She really didn't like having her cinch tightened, but she was a really nice ride. And this is Little Snort and Margaret. Our lovely guide, Georgia.  She did a great job.  She HAS a great job! I loved riding Holly, she listened to me really well.  What a beautiful girl. Georgia took some shots of us ...
