Rocco

I’ve been super busy lately, as anyone who follows me on twitter or facebook knows. I’ve been trying furiously to catch up with regular clients, editing images and placing orders, starting on new art commissions and working with return clients. I also just got back from a 3 day trip out of town and off the grid for a fun editorial project you will see more of soon. Because of all of these things, I’ve had little time to blog. So I’m now embarrasingly behind in posting these images, but better late than never, right? I do hope you will agree. As it’s my mission to honor each pet I photograph, I will introduce you to each dog I met in Atlanta and Austin, then catch you up with what’s going on now.

This is Rocco. He was first in our series of dog models in Atlanta last month. He had a full fledged photo shoot on a dry Friday afternoon. So. Cute.

We shot at this great park in downtown Atlanta: Centennial Olympic Park. There were these cool waterfall things, which were perfect to cool off in during the hot day.

I’m a big fan of showing dogs smiling from the nose up, if you can’t tell. :-)

This next pair of shots gives me warm fuzzies inside. Love. them. Love Rocco. Loved this session. Swear to god I have the best job in the world.

Thank you Melissa for bringing Rocco and sharing his joy for life with us. He is such a special little guy and I was lucky to have been able to work with him!

Atlanta sneak peek

I just finished editing images for my Atlanta and Austin model parents today. It was a big job: 300 total images edited for 10 different clients. I fully edited all of the images, + renamed in bridge, + created 10 galleries on my proofing site, + uploaded all of the images in 3.5 hours. Whew. I’m happy because now I can finally play catch up with my regular clients!

I had to post this adorable shot of one of our Atlanta models. World meet Spirit. This sweet girl is 16. This shot just slays me. :-)

2010 Workshops update

I know, I know, I said I wouldn’t post any more workshops updates to the blog. But this one is important.

I have been getting a lot of emails lately from people saying things like “I look forward to coming to one of your workshops in 2010 in NYC/Dallas/Miami/fill in the blank city.”

I have made the final decision: I will *not* be holding travel workshops after 2009.

So, the final travel workshops I will teach, and your last opportunity to go to one near your home (assuming you don’t live in Portland, OR), are: Boston and Chicago in August 2009, and Atlanta and Austin in October 2009. (see the dates here).

Beyond that, starting in 2010 all Cowbelly workshops will be held in the lovely city of Seattle.

Although this is bound to change, given that I am a changeable creature, I anticipate holding only 2 workshops per year, one in the spring and one in the fall, and having a 20 person maximum registration per workshop.

The Boston registration deadline is tomorrow, and I have only 2 spaces left for the 2-day (the 3-day is full), and the Chicago registration ends next Friday 7/14. I have a few spaces left for Chicago, but you Chicago people are last-minuters so those spaces are filling super fast as I am having a new person register every day.

There are still plenty of spaces left for Atlanta, and Austin is now filling up quickly.

If you are interested in any of those cities give us a shout. And also, this is important, if you are interested in attending a 2010 workshop in Seattle next year please please email us so we can get a list going. I had over 150 people interested in workshops this year and with only 40 spaces next year I may end up carrying a waiting list. I know that by then the economy will have improved and more people will be ready to hit it with their businesses, and I want to make sure I can serve those who are already planning ahead, so please email us to let us know.

Ok that’s it! Hope y’all are having a lovely week. Sunshine in Seattle, yay. :-)
