A Girl's Best Friend

I know it is supposed to be diamonds, but this gal is going to throw her hat in with the men on this one and say it is her dog. :o)

Annie-belle (and her sister ~ Laurie) turned two this week. Looking back over the past year, I am amazed at how much they have accomplished and am thankful for all the "adventures" we have shared together. (Annie-belle has her CD and RE titles, and Laurie is a CH and has her RA - hurray). I know - seems cheesy but any fellow dog lover will certainly understand!

In celebration of their birthday, thought I would post some recent snapshots of them.

Cheers!

Laurie: Yeah - no kidding! It's messing up my Scottie 'brows. But it sure is a helluva view.

Annie-belle: Do you see any whales yet?
Laurie: Nope, do you?

Annie-belle: Ah mom, do we have to take ANOTHER photo? Sheesh.

Laurie: Blast, will that wind ever calm down? It's still messing with my Scottie good looks. Can we have our treats now??

And Baby Will Make Three {sneak preview}

When: February 2009
Where: Windward Oahu, Hawaii
What:Maternity Session

Kara and Tom are expecting their first little one, and wanted to capture some maternity photographs before the big day...which by-the-way is very soon! I know it may seem old fashioned, but I think it is pretty awesome that they still don't know if the baby is a boy or girl yet (by their choice). Guess for me it adds a little more excitement and anticipation to an already emotional experience. :o)

Weather during winter in Hawaii can be tricky, and starting a couple of days before our photo session it was pretty windy and stormy. But the day of our shoot we had beautiful blue skies, though twas still a bit windy. No worries though - we had a great time anyway and I think captured some mighty nice images. For now I'm posting a few "teasers", though I suspect I may have to post a few more once I finish processing them all.

Enjoy!

Catching up with travels...

I finally had a little down time last month so caught up with processing some travel, nature, and landscape photographs. Thus I thought I'd post a few of them for a little variety in the blog and to satiate my landscape/nature photo pals!

The ones below are from my trip to California last October. My photog friend, Renee, and I took a little photo safari (to Joshua Tree NP and Idyllwild), and as you can see we enjoyed a variety of stuffs to photograph and of course had lots of fun. As strange as it may sound, it was nice to shoot something other than beach, palm trees, and ocean. :oP

Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend!
