Dog Pool Party in Erie, Colorado

Saturday was a crazy, crazy day! I started out photographing an adorable 3 1/2 year old little boy up for adoption! He was soooo cute and sweet! He even gave me a hug when I left. Then I was off to spend 2 hours shooting dogs at the pool - after this I have seriously considered changing my career. I'm just not sure that there enough dog pool parties to feed me for the rest of my life... We'll just have to see. Anyway, this K-9 pool party was hosted by The Healthy Bone, a wonderful pet supply store in Erie, Colorado. Chris, the owner, has watched our dogs before. As wonderful as Chris was, I was deeply saddened when I picked my dogs up and they whined when HE drove away. Not only that, they ran to watch him leave and barked for him to come back. I was very pleased to see that there was a Life Guard on duty, just in case. The only problem was he (I think it was a he) didn't really want to get wet past his paws.
There were lots of tennis balls to be had... and chased... and chewed on...

Some dogs were a bit more aggresive than others. He-he!






Some dogs were in need of help, especially after they were thrown, pushed or tossed into the water.





I had a wonderful time photographing these guys, but it did prove to be difficult. I got lots of shots like this and splashes with tails and a leg or two leaving the frame. Either way, it was a blast!


Eeeeeeeewwwwwww! His dog's tongue is touching his FACE! I love my dogs, but I have limits! And anything with a tongue, should keep their tongue to themselves and definitely not on my face!

This would be Chris from The Healthy Bone, the wonderful person that allowed all these dogs into the pool. Yay Chris!

Elli, Senior Pictures

  I was so excited for this session — my very first full Senior Session! These types of sessions are always my favorite!   It means I am getting back to work and there is always something so special about capturing a person right on the edge of everything new. And with Elli, I knew it was going to be a great one. From the moment we started planning, her energy and excitement made it clear: this was going to be one for the books. And it was — even with the weather throwing us a little curveball. About halfway through the session, the skies opened up and we had to pause for a solid 45 minutes. But honestly? Even that didn’t take away from how amazing the day was. The rain gave us a chance to slow down, laugh, and reset — and when we got going again, everything felt a little more magical - and the lighting post-rain? Gorgeous!   I was hoping for a rainbow, but sadly we missed that! Elli is such a joy to be around. She’s incredibly sweet, the kind of person who makes y...

Tanner's Senior Pictures, Boulder

This young man! He is fantastic! I loved that he knew what he wanted and we were able to find some marvelous spots!  Look at those colors!  They were so amazing!   I did Tanner's  sisters senior pictures  a few years ago and these two are just wonderful kids!  I really love working with their family!  They are just wonderful people! I love this one! I just love this one of these two! We were done and on the way back to the car when I saw the sky and I was I like we have to do more!  I ran to my car, got a light and we did a few more pictures! I love this one! I absolutely love this shirt!  It is so awesome!

Alex, Senior Pictures

  When I talked to Alex's mom, she said he really didn't want to do pictures and she thought the best thing to do was to do family pictures and then sneak some senior pictures in.  I don't usually do that, but I figured that she knew how he would be the most comfortable and what would be the most successful.    I am so glad that we did it this way, she was definitely right!  I hope Alex at least had a decent time, but I could tell that he was not really into it - maybe if I'd had another hour with him....  just kidding, I think that would have made him super anxious!  I just hope in the future he keeps allowing himself to be photographed for those he loves.  Because even though he didn't want to do it, he did a great job and didn't complain at all.                                                 ...
