Personal, Our wonderful dogs

      I realized I haven't posted much about Piper (our found Parvo puppy)!  We still have her and she is doing so well!  She has convinced us to continue feeding her, and now all the other dogs, wet food.  Something 3 other dogs and a few before them have been unsuccessful at.  She sleeps at such weird angles, I know she has no bones in her body!  And she makes the strangest noises!  Watch the video at the bottom and you will see!  She finds things we haven't seen awhile!  Money too, I thought she might be a piggy bank, but it turns out when you turn her upside down and shake her more money doesn't come out.  Kind of bummed after we spent so much to get her better.
      Every morning, I go to get her out of my youngest room, with the 3 other dogs barking like mad behind me.  She usually looks up me, rolls over and tries to go back to sleep.  When I nudge her, looks at me, rolls over and shows me her belly thinking that I cannot resist her belly and must stay there petting her until she wakes up.  I really have no time for this so I do everything I can to get her out of bed and down the stairs to go out.  The other morning, I was counting the dogs as they went outside - one, two, three, fo... wait where is the fourth?  She had been right there behind me.  Little sneak!  I ran downstairs to see if she was hiding out in Makaela's room.  No.  Ran back up to Aidan's room.  No.  My room?  No.  The couch??? No.  I couldn't find her... When I did, she had burrowed under a blanket to hide from me!  She is suuuuccchhhh not a morning dog!  Here are some pictures from my phone.  In case you are wondering, I really do love my other dogs too and so I have included some images of them too.
This is the most perfect ever favorite dog I have ever had!  Gretchen is the dog that made me like dogs almost as much as cats!

I don't think the dogs enjoyed this little exercise as much as Makaela!

This is Thunder, our oldest dog.  He is definitely showing signs of his almost 12 years.  We've had to start giving him organic pain meds for his hips.  Poor guy has a hard time getting around, but when we go to the dog park he acts like a puppy!  And then he has 2 or 3 days of recovery.  We are still trying to figure out what and how much he can handle.
This is Otto, Makaela's dog.  He is the perfect dog to sit in your lap.  He doesn't lick you (like Gretchen) or paw you because you aren't petting him enough (like Thunder).  He will just sit in your lap and be perfectly content - until Piper comes and knocks him out of the way that is.

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.                                                 ...
