Dog Sitting Mission Complete

The house is a lot quieter now. Our two little guests for the week have gone back home. Having never had dogs growing up, it was a new experience for me. How nice it was to have them so happy to see you as you come through the door! It was a great week of learning to put them on harnesses and leashes for walks, helping them up and down couches, holding raw hides for them to chew, all the basic dog sitting duties.

I hope they enjoyed their time here – we did our best, but I am sure they are happy to be in their home today. One this is for sure, there are probably less camera shutters and flashes in their face! I took lots of photos while they were here – getting them tired made them perfect portrait subjects. I was able to experiment with my 2 trigger, one camera setup, as well as other things that I will be using in upcoming shoots.

Another reminder about the end of the early bird 20% off sale on the photos from the New Jersey State Open. The website is working overtime to show the photos from the statistics that I see! I have received lots of emails about them, and I have helped lots of couples find their photos online. If you were at the event and need any help to find yours, please email or call. Thank you!

Models in Residence

It is so nice to have portrait models around all the time to practice! We have been dog sitting and I have taken the opportunity to make lots of images of our two visitors. They are half-sibling mini dachshunds, and are two of the easiest subjects to photograph. I have known a few dachshunds, and these two are the most un-dachshund like I have met. Not terribly territorial, or very loud. They do like their walks, and chasing squirrels. Luckily for the camera, they like their down time. I dragged out some flashes and lenses and tried some things while they were available. Max is up first – he kept me from working the most during the week! The weather is not as great out there, but I hope you make some nice photos this weekend too.

Busy week coming up! I am going to some events this weekend to edit. Then next Saturday is the Arthur Murray Fall Showcase – our last event that we will cover for them this year. It will be great to see the new routines that the dancers and instructors have been working on these last few months. The photos will be posted to the proofing site as usual. Also stay tuned for some exciting new for your holiday gift shopping!

Dachshunds and Autumn Leaves

“When autumn leaves start to fall…”

Our backyard is in need of some maintenance. We are lucky to have so many nice shade trees in the summer, that turn to beautiful golden trees in the fall. Now we have to get a much of these off our lawn before it kills our grass! Luckily, we have two helpers that are visiting us for the week, and we need all the help we can get.

Yes, they may not be much helping moving the debris to the pickup point at the front of the house, but they do give you some nice company while working. And they don’t mess up any leaf piles too much!

They were so good, we took them on a walk afterwards. So many new surroundings to explore, and of course, more leaves to inspect.

I am confident they were also keeping any reptilian creatures in the woods away from us! Hope you are enjoying the not too cold autumn weather. There are still photos that I am working on, so I will be busy the next week completing those. We have finished the editing and sorting of our largest ballroom dance events, and you can see all those photos at the proofing website.
