Fur Babies!

Here are my little crittters....

^ This is Precious, she's my baby girl. A Jack Russell with more energy than any dog should ever have!

^ Blaze is our "foster dog." She actually belong to my son, Michael, but lives with us for now. She is the most affectionate dog ever, but not necessarily the smartest!

^ Boo is my little old lady. She is 16 years old and still going strong. She continues to bring much love and joy to my life!

^ This is a photo that took many years to capture. Right place and right time, finally. It's a giant yawn, after one of her dozen or so cat naps of the day.

Getting Creative with Alexis

My newest assignment in Professional Portraiture was to make a image in any style and subject that I desired. I decided it was time to play my trump card and I called a beautiful young lady that I have been wanting to photograph for quite some time. I was just waiting for the right assignment and this was it! We had a wonderful time shooting in various locations around town and she was a trooper despite the heat and all of my requests. A special thank you to Alexis' mom and my wonderful assistant for the day, Jennifer!

This is my personal favorite from our session and is the image I submitted for assignment.

We caught the light peeking through the bridge just as the sun was setting.

SELL IT WITH AVAILABLE LIGHT !

This assignment was for my product lighting class. We came to class with no prior knowledge of the assignment. We were then given an empty can and told to go photograph it, as creatively as possible. We then had to have it done and submitted within a few hours. Here's what I came up with...
