I am a horrible blogger! I blame it all on Facebook…hahaha!! So…a couple weeks ago, John and I did a session with Sammy the Russian Blue, Jack the Pit-Bull, and Maddie the Pittie-Mix. What a fun day we had!!! Sammy is a gorgeous little (well big) lady, with a great attitude! LOVE her! And Jack is a hoot! He’s so spunky and fun…likes to give sloppy kisses too! Maddie is as sweet (and shy) as can be. She didn’t really know what those two big black eye-ball-looking things were that we had pointing at her, but eventually she came around and gave us a few poses. Here are a few from our day with them. Enjoy!

Ahhh…Yellowstone. One of the places I’ve always wanted to visit, but never thought I’d actually see. The Land of Geysers, and Grizzlies…Bison and Bears. What a remarkable place! We stayed alongside the Yellowstone River in Gardiner, Montana in a wonderful little cabin, which was chock full of everything we could ever possibly need. The cabin was just 5 miles from the North Entrance of Yellowstone, so it was the perfect base camp for us. We were even able to drive as far down as the Tetons (it was a loooooong drive…but do-able.) I think everyone should visit Yellowstone at least once in their life! The place is incredible, and so unlike any place I’ve ever been!
If you do get to go to Yellowstone at some point in your life…please don’t let your children crap the place up!!! I saw so many parents letting their children run a muck!!!! I saw one kid scrapping the bottom of the Grand Prismatic Pool with his walking stick, and others walking in places clearly marked “DO NOT WALK”….and whatever you do, DON’T throw stuff into the pools or springs!!!! Your penny is not going to give you any luck, so don’t even think about it!!!
Anywhooo…Please be sure to check out the photos from our trip Thanks for looking!!!!

It was a beautiful sun-shiny day but we knew we were in for an emotional shoot this day. We prepared ourselves beforehand and knew this would not be easy. We were photographing Buddy and his mom. Buddy is a 14 year old Shih Tzu who was just diagnosed with cancer…and his vet thinks this year will be his last. When we arrived to meet them, Buddy approached us very willingly, and immediately we all became good friends! (of course it’s easy to be friends when you have a pocket full of bacon and cheese treats!) This little guy was so full of life, and if dogs could laugh (which I believe they can)…this little guy was laughing all day! He was a star!
When Buddy’s mom was looking for a dog…she knew she wanted a small one, so she went to a local rescue organization’s “Mutt-Mingle” hoping to find just the right one. At first, she didn’t see any that she could take home…until someone said to her, “did you have a look inside?” “Inside? There’s more?” Sure enough, there was more! As she looked around, a little gray ball of fur named Jabba caught her eye, and before anyone else could lay claim to him, she snatched him up and took him home…but not before stopping at PetSmart to pick up a few necessities.
After she took him home, she decided to clean him up a bit. After a good long bath, the little gray ball of fur became a beautiful white and brown! And the name that the shelter gave him was ditched for the perfect name, “Buddy”. Buddy has truly been his mom’s best friend for all these years!
Buddy, you are an inspiration, and your mom is AMAZING for giving you the best life EVER! Thank you for spending the day with us…we have made some great new friends!
Buddy brought us to his favorite spot on the beach…this spot is special to him because this is where he and his mom spend a lot of time together. It’s a very special place indeed!

We are very happy to announce that we are a Professional Member of HeARTs Speak!!! We are so thrilled to be a part of such a wonderful group of dedicated photographers and artists!!!
What is HeARTs Speak, you ask? Here’s a great description from their website….
“A compelling photograph can reach into the heart of a potential adopter, and bring an animal one step closer to a long-life outside of a shelter. An artist can be a life-changer, and that is priceless. HeARTs Speak was created to harness the power of art to effect social change, to connect artists with shelters and animal relief organizations, and ultimately, to save and better the lives of animals and people.”

I’ve been doing some “Urban Exploring” lately and recently photographed the old Winchester Arms buildings in New Haven, CT. Here are some of my favorites:
