Cowbelly 6-year anniversary pawty- Whidbey Island Sun. 7/19

It’s that time of year. Time to celebrate the fact that this very pet photography business has survived and thrived for one more year. (Whoopee!).

The date of the Pawty will be Sunday July 19th, 2009.

Like last year, this year’s celebration will be on the super dog friendly Whidbey Island, one of Fergie and my favorite places. Pinching myself that we get to go back again so soon. I’m still relaxed from the last time we were there! :-)

First we’ll take a ferry to get over there. Fergie will stand on the front of the boat with the wind going up her nose, which she loves to do.

Once on the island, we’ll start off at the fabulous Marguerite Brons off-leash park, and run through the miles of fully fenced wooded trails and romp in their grassy meadow.

After some rest in the shady grass and a big bowl of water, we’ll head to Langley to the much-lauded Useless Bay Coffee Company and dine on their delectable paninis and partake of their yummy caffeinated beverages.

Once we’ve had our fill there, we’ll head down to the stupendous Double Bluff beach and play in the surf, tan on the shore and just generally have a laugh-filled, happy-making, memory-creating awesome time.

I will bring my camera of course and take pictures of the pups as they go on these adventures. Any past or present or future client or friend/fan of Cowbelly is welcome to come! Just don’t make me talk about business, as much as I love Cowbelly, this day is supposed to be a little vacation for us all, and will be all about the dogs! And before you ask, yes, Fergie will be available to sign pawtographs, hee hee. ;-)

Please send Christina and I an email to info@cowbelly.com titled ‘Whidbey Party’ if you’d like to come and we’ll give you the whole low-down in terms of timing and where to meet and directions, etc.

So super psyched that I made it 6 years and am looking forward to the next 6 even more. I’m so loving my job right now it’s ridiculous. Life rocks! :-)

Happy New Year (!) + my apologies

Happy 2009 everybody! I hope everyone’s NYE was safe and fun. Mine was probably the best ever. :-)

For those of you in the greater Seattle area, I want to apologize for the crazy weather we had last month. You see, I have been trying to do a shoot up on the beach on Whidbey Island for 2 clients, kind of a whole day thing, for the last 6 weeks. We actually had a date picked in November that worked for everyone, but had to cancel due to rain. At that time I recall saying something to them like “I am not worried about us getting the shoot done soon. I have done shoots in Sunny weather every month of the year. Some of my prettiest photo shoots have been in December and I am totally confident the weather will cooperate with us before the end of the year!” And yes, folks, I WAS totally confident. And we all know what happened. In all seriousness, I am being facetious here (I know I don’t have that kind of power), but in any case I think I will still start talking about how *horrible* I expect the weather to be over the next month, just in case Mother Nature is actually messing with me and might trip me up by making this cold/snow/wind/rain go away.

If she IS messing with me I’d like to offer her up these shots taken at Double Bluff Beach last year in the hopes she will appease me. Kind of like a peace offering. I just need one day, just one day of sun, is that asking too much? 

Kate and Fergie:

And also, I apologize for being MIA on this blog! I hope to be back on track with everything starting next week and give you some new images to enjoy. You will see many new shots, including some of Charlie, a houndog that I promise will make you laugh out loud. 

I hope everyone is having an outstanding new year and I look forward to finally sharing my Christmas dogs shots with you!
