passion for golf

My two favorite guys (hubby and fur baby) have one of the same passions: GOLF! 

As I walk by our guest bedroom, I see this:

Josh is packing his clubs for a road trip to AZ where he is stoked to play the course on ASU campus! 

Winston is waiting for him to accidentally drop a golf ball so his game can begin tonight!

 

I ran to the computer to embrass the grain that a high ISO for this evening shot required, excited to make it black and white...and it dawned on me:  their golf game might be more similar than we think! 

Whether it is chewing on a golf ball, 

or hitting it with a club, 

they both would prefer to do it on a daily basis, 

never care what the weather is, 

get frustrated at times, 

lose the little white ball from time to time, 

"bark" when it is lost, 

attempt to get friends to help them find it, 

chase it when it rolls away,

and sometimes have to get a new ball all together! ;0P

Oh! The Places You’ll Go!

You’ll be on your way up!
You’ll be seeing great sights!
You’ll join the high fliers who soar to high heights.

~Dr. Seuss

Had to share a a peek for beautiful Baby O's parents!  What a doll!

We met Josh's cousin in Lubbock to capture her one year photos on the Texas Tech campus. 

We didn't see Raider Red, but never fear! Mom tells us she has had her picture taken with Red already!

I Heart Fridays [Amarillo Family Photographer]

Last summer I thoroughly enjoyed www.iheartfaces.com's Fix It Fridays! 

The last Friday I did last summer was #69 at I Heart Faces. Today, it is #102. 

I miss so much during the school year!  

They now have a fun community you can be a part of and see how everyone else edits the photos as well.  Here is the before photo and then my edit/take on how it should look! 

SOOC (shot out of camera) before:

and then here is my edit...square of course! 

AFTER:

More of Austin! [Amarillo Pet Photographer]

Not only do we dog sit, we photograph our house guests! 

I have had my eye on Austin as a model for some time.  I am so excited to share these with his mommy...

I could not decide what type of sweet story to add here...

then I found words of wisdom from 

the amazing author of Charlotte's Web:

A really companionable and indispensable dog is an accident of nature. 

You can't get it by breeding for it,and you can't buy it with money.

It just happens along.

That is a BIG dog! [Amarillo Pet Photographer]

Summer has started out slow...

Winston (my furbaby) and I are best buds again...

We have had the joy of dog-sitting one of my good friend's dogs, Austin!

Winston and I had a wonderful afternoon with his buddy Austin today!

Austin is such a gift to everyone that knows him. He is the wise mentor to all pups around, he is his owner's (Liz) best friend, he is one spoiled, loved grand puppy to Betty, and he is a motivational friend and a calm, sweet pair of ears to listen to students read at the school where Liz and I teach. 

Stay tuned for more handsome images of Austin. I have just gotten started!

ps...the out-takes are my favorite!

What a tongue Austin has!
