3 spaces left in June!

We currently have only 3 spaces left in the June 11-13 Cowbelly workshop in Seattle. If you are interested in attending please don’t delay! See this page to register: http://www.cowbellyworkshops.com/register.html, and don’t forget to read the FAQ first here: http://www.cowbellyworkshops.com/faq.html.

If you have any questions feel free to send them to us at workshops@cowbelly.com. I’m currently sick in bed, and Christina is off until Friday, but I’ll do the best to get back to you as quickly as I can. Thanks so much!

June Cowbelly Workshop registration opens tomorrow morning at 9am! (PST)

Registration for the June 11-13 Cowbelly Workshop #8 in Seattle opens tomorrow morning at 9am PST. Whoopee! I am so excited for this one and only wish June would come sooner. *Really* looking forward to sunshine again, and although I loved traveling last year, holding the next workshop in Seattle is going to be awesome. All I have to do is roll out of bed and show up. (Kidding! It’s a lot more work than that, lol). I can’t wait to meet the amazing people who are going to come, and, in an attempt to outdo myself with each workshop, I have even more special tricks up my sleeve. ;-)

Some notes on registering:

  • Registering is first-come, first-served. This refers to when we receive the actual completed paperwork and payment. An attendee’s space is not secured in the workshop until we have received both of these things.
  • Due to the fact that we have a large number of people interested in attending in June, and only 15 spaces, we are requesting that people who are really interested in attending try and get their registration forms and payment in on the same day, or within a very short period of time. We want to give everyone a fair shot at attending!
  • The registration deadline for the June workshop is Friday April 16th, but we’d like to encourage people to register long before that. Christina and I aren’t sure how fast this workshop will fill; we think it could be a matter of hours or days (weeks maybe at the most?? we really don’t know!!). If however you aren’t able to get into the June workshop, remember we are having a 2nd one in September. :-)

If you are interested in registering, here is what you do:

Make your way to the registration page on the workshops website, read through the entire page (please!), and then shoot us an email. Easy-peasy!

We hope to see some of you there! June is a gorgeous month in Seattle and we positively cannot wait! I’m off tomorrow morning to look at 3 (AWESOME) spaces for the workshop, and secure discounted rooms at my favorite Seattle hotel. Yippee skippee!

Janie

Janie, the Belgian Malinois, was my Friday shoot in Austin, the one dry day of the weekend we had there. Janie was *very* camera shy, but I hope these images don’t let that show.

Serious (L). Not serious (R).

Janie’s mom is a dog trainer, and I loved watching their interactions together.

Beautiful dog with cute head tilt in front of purple flowers? Yes please.

janie-44

Isn’t she gorgeous? I love the coloring of the Malinois.

This next pair of shots just slays me. I nearly choked on my tea when I saw these for the first time. Ahhh, I love wide angle lenses. :-)

Margaret thank you for bringing Janie into the city to have her picture taken and be part of the workshop. I loved working with both of you!

Winnie

Winnie is the very first Swedish Vallhund I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She is such a neat little dog, with a very interesting personality.

Winnie was absolutely fascinated by the kayakers going by. It was hilarious.

She and Savannah became best buds, but Winnie wouldn’t quite follow her into the water. Brrr…

I had to capture the girls in action, having a good game of ‘play fight’.

Cheryl thank you so much for braving the rain and coming and bringing Winnie to our Austin workshop shoot. I think based on the shots I got of her and Savannah, she had a blast. I know I did and I hope you did too.

Savannah Brunette

I have decided that dogs named Savannah are awesome. What’s ironic about these two is that they were both our first models to respond to our model call, in entirely different cities. I took statistics in college, and I can tell you that is statistically significant. :-)

savannah-01

Savannah didn’t mind at all that it was raining outside, even going for a dip in Lady Bird Lake.

savannah-14

2 different sides to the same dog. playful. hungry. hee hee

savannah-11

I *love* these next two shots. There is something about her wet crimped tail fur, and the lush green foliage she is nestled in that leaves me swooning.

savannah-18

Thank you Jake for coming and joining us in Austin and bringing your dearheart of a pup with you. Savannah is such a sweetie and she kept us laughing the whole time.
