August 4, 2010 – 1:12 pm

Swoonworthy sunsets + my favorite dog = one happy photographer.

View from the balcony of our oceanfront unit the first night we were there.

Her timing was impeccable here. I was so proud of my girl for giving me these shots!

I don’t know how many people reading this have ever been to Washington State, but the sunsets here are *incredible*. The shot below was taken on our last night. I didn’t want to leave.

A new all-time favorite on the right below. It needs a caption. What should the caption be?

Off to NYC! Hope you liked the Fergie Ocean pics and I’ll post some NYC photos upon my return!

Fergie Ocean trip- part I

August 4, 2010 – 1:01 pm

This was Fergie’s first ever trip to the ocean, a big 5th birthday present from me, and to say she loved it would be the understatement of a lifetime. She ran, she played, she romped, she smiled, she dug, she napped, she sniffed and marveled, all with a sense of joy only felt by a dog. I can’t wait until our next trip to the ocean, and I’ll be sure to bring my camera again.

New flexible Kong frisbee- a gift from her grandpa. She LOVES that frisbee!

thick, heavy fog for 3 days was really cool and mysterious and kinda creepy. You really couldn’t see much of anything. Fergie would run ahead of me, and realize she couldn’t see me very well, then turn around and come back to make sure I was still there. It was so cute.

So many fun things to sniff at the ocean.

NYC-bound

August 4, 2010 – 12:31 pm

Just wanted to give everyone a heads-up that I’m headed to NYC early (early) tomorrow morning for our Passport Workshop. I’ll most likely be off the grid for my entire trip, but hope to be able to start posting photos from the trip the week of the 16th. I’ll leave you guys with some shots of Fergie from our recent ocean trip. There are so many I’m splitting them into two posts. Wish me luck I get everything done on my to-do list today- it’s ghastly! Hope everyone is having a great week!

Henri & Lola Graffiti Dogs Project

August 2, 2010 – 12:23 pm

UPDATE 8/4/10: it is with an incredibly heavy heart and tears streaming down my face that I report that Henri died suddenly of heart failure 2 weeks ago. I got word from his mom yesterday, and I can’t wrap words around how deeply sad I am for his parents, and how much I will miss the sweet boy. I can’t believe he’s gone, and it’s just not fair that dogs have to die so young. It’s just not fair. I plan to do a proper memorial post after I get back from my NYC trip (leaving tomorrow AM), so that everyone can give Jerri and her family their well-wishes there. So sorry to be the bearer of bad news. RIP Henri, we love you. Sniff. :-(

=======================================================================

Henri is one of my very favorite models to work with (some of you may remember him from the cover of AAA’s Journey Magazine), and recently he brought his baby sister Lola for me to work with too for a fun Graffiti Dog’s shoot. They were both consummate professionals, and made it far too easy for me to do my job. Thank you Henri & Lola!
