Football, Football, Football! [Amarillo Family Photographer]

Ready to meet Dottie!? [Amarillo Pet Photography]

Dottie Montgomery...what a sweetheart!  I am a little biased toward Jack Russell I am sure, but she was so SMART and so distinguished!  I hope these two images make you smile! They sure do make us smile!

 

Now for a great shot! I love a fast shutter speed! Can you imagine how fast that tongue came out and back in!?  I love the element of surprise while importing the photos into lightroom too! YES! 

 

My Joy

So I still need to work on week one assignment, but this is the workshop I am officially registered for...just am not participating in! I have been under the weather, but hope to get to my self portraits soon!

I heart Winston [Amarillo Pet Photographer]

Winston has become a difficult subject! He gets mad when I take his picture while he is sleeping and he doesn't sit and look at the camera like he used to! 

All of my little noises and tricks to get him to tilt his head are old news now! 

I am going to have to start finding new material! He is giving me this, 

"Gaw Mom, not the camera again..." attitude when I try to take his picture now!

U family [Amarillo Family Photographer]

I had the great pleasure of photographing Bethany and her family yesterday evening! I fell in love with her parents and family instantly. Such a sweet family. Josh and I are so blessed to have spent the evening out at their land. It is always so peaceful to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city life! 

Bethany and her Josh are expecting their first baby in only a few weeks...

you can just see the joy and emotion in the images...

i heart faces fix it friday #69

Sometimes there is just that photo that looks better black and white! I thought this one would as soon as I saw it! I <3 faces shares a photo for followers to fix each Friday! Since school as started, sometimes I do not make it, but I napped after work and now here I am blogging! YaY!

The original image...this makes me want to photograph DVR and myself! 

 Then my edit using PS CS4 this time! I attempted LR3, but didn't like the colors, so I moved to PS where I am comfortable with vignetting and b&w conversions!
