Anyway, I really want to post highlights from my photo shoots but, like everything, I never seem to be able to keep up with it. But, my plan is to just start a few months back and see if I can get myself in the habit.
VIRGINIA DOGS
So this summer I had my first ever "Destination Dog Shoot". Ines, a woman living in Virginia, flew me out there to photograph her two dogs. It was kinda unique in that she is starting a new business of her own- Pet Emergency Management. You can check out her site: Wag'n 4 U. Anyway, she wanted me to photograph her dogs in different emergency situations, so we went and hassled the Arlington Firemen,
and then tortured the dogs (in the name of protecting them, ironically enough).
So, most of our pictures looked more like those but here are some others that I insisted she let me take:
SOPHIE
So then a few days after I got back from that trip I photographed Sophie!
Sophie is a super sweet dog who's mom owns a salon in Noe Valley so she gets to hang out there at the shop all day.
Sometimes she gets bored with all the hair and steps outside to sit at the bus stop for a while.
The best part of her life though is the jar of Tootsie Pops that sits on the counter. This was seriously impressive- she puts one of these in her mouth and in about 7 seconds out drops the stick!
Back at the house:
And her little brother, Teddy
KIM, ELISA, AND MARK
I was hanging out with my dear friend Kim one day when we decided to take some pictures of her and the kids. Seeing as how we're both photographers, we don't get pictures of ourselves taken very often, so that was fun. Kim is the Kim in Kimberly Wassenberg Photography and has been the hugest help to me over the years in getting my business started. I will owe her family photos for the rest of my life!
SHOE AND UMBERTO
Then at the end of June there were these two characters- Shoe the Norwich Terrier, and Bert the Chartreuse Cat. I learned an interesting fact while photographing them. All Chartreuses born in the same year have to be named with the same letter of the alphabet! This cat's year was "U" but he goes by Bert, which has since evolved to Bertha because of his rather large size.
Shoe isn't supposed to have this ball because it's Bertha's but he got so excited when he got a hold of it- it was adorable!
Every Friday is "cigar at the park" day for Michael
Ok, that was just June. I'm starting to think that was too far back to start. Well I'll try to do July tomorrow and see if I can keep it up.
