Sophie... Part II

Photobucket
Last time I hung out with Soph she was crawling. Now she is RUNNING... everywhere! It is fun to see how much she growing and changing... although she still like some of the same things:) Plan on seeing a lot more of this girl as I will be doing a year long series capturing her ever evolving little life.

Still trying to put everything and anything in her mouth... even rocks..
Photobucket
She is not afraid of getting a little dirty:)

Still loves picking up fallen flowers!

I saw a lot of this view... she's always heading somewhere new... I'll follow that!

Riggs...

Photobucket
A few weeks ago I met Riggs (and his mom) outside of my oil change place. I could not resist the little ball of fur... and he happens to be the sweetest guy ever, in a very manly way of course. A few days later we took advantage of some warm weather and went out for a play date... needless to say you will be seeing a lot more of this guy:)

Becky & David's Engagement Party!!!

Becky is SUPER creative (and funny). She did all sorts of great things... like glue pictures of her and David's head onto... well everything!
Photobucket
On Friday the 13th Becky & David threw an engagement party... they decided to have a big party because they are only going to have a 'small' wedding in May. 
Photobucket
David... that look tells me he knows something most people don't...
Photobucket
their friends have a great sense of humor...

Half way though the night they played a slideshow... at the end they thanked everyone for attending.......................................    THEIR WEDDING!!!!!!!!!!!
Photobucket
...lots of shock and a bit of disbelief, everyone moved to the back room....
Photobucket
Yes, even the mother of the groom was surprised:)

while everyone was watching the slideshow... Becky slipped away and into a beautiful dress

And then they were married... and lived Happily Ever After.

The perfect day...



About a month ago Jessica Busch (Special Events Manager for PAWS) contacted me and asked if I would be willing to take some photographs of their 'office dogs' as they wanted to take out a page in the annual PAWS calendar. Of course I said YES... so we set the date three weeks in advance. I was hoping for good weather (anything above freezing) but could not have been more happy when the day came and it was a sunny 60 degrees! It was so nice to be outside and I could not have asked for better company.

Meet the 'Office Dogs':

Wrigley- a 2 year old very lively black lab mix...

Lady... they have no idea what she is... nose like a sheltie, color of an elkhound and she thinks she is a person. Lady is also a mad-fetcher!

Rainia... the Queen!

Murphy... a sheepdog/terrier mix with LOADS of energy!

Emma... a shepher/greyhound mix. Emma is only two years old but always knows whats going on and takes care of her brother Justis.

Justis... the elder of the pack at 15+ years old. Justis is a Yorkie who was rescued from a puppy mill. He is missing most of his hair and is almost blind but takes comfort next to Emma.

Dax... two years old, loads of energy and supper fluffy! Dax is also the class clown:)

Dax decided to take a break from the photo gig and partake in some serious stick chewing...

He was promptly brought back:)

In the end Lady showed me her skill with the stix!

Animal Magnetism....

Friday night PAWS held their Animal Magnetism event and I was lucky enough to be able to help out. They needed photographs of all the attending pets and their human guests. I love doing work with PAWS... except that I always want to take a puppy home. The little black and white pup (who's paw is getting ready to be eaten) stole my heart. I know he is already in a great home because there was a line on at least 3 people that night ready to adopt him.

This is Kona... and her human friend.

Zoe is a PAWS alumni... they adopted her recently.

Frankenstein... aka "Frankie"

Bida sticking her tongue out at the camera.

Half way through the event he CRASHED... too much excitement:)

And of course Lauren who was the best volunteer... she hung with me all night to make sure we got the names of everyone in the photographs. Thank You Lauren!
