Welcome

Who needs a Welcome Mat when you can have a Welcome Head?

The Welcome Head is great at keeping solicitors away or people trying to convince us to vote republican.

The Welcome Head is seasonal as well. It makes a great Halloween decoration and during the Holidays we paint the nose red!

A Letter

Dear Greta,

I think I love you.

You are only 10 months old and the biggest, sweetest, lovable girl I have ever met. Well, the second biggest, sweetest, lovable girl … the first being Miss Gracie (of course).

If I thought I could have gotten away with it, I would have packed you up in my car and taken you home with me.

I have a thing for big dogs you know.

Don’t let anyone tell you that you are too big, or too slobbery, or too hairy … because they’re just jealous of your supreme gorgeousness.

Love,
Erin

(P.S. Your tongue RULES!)

My Way

This weekend I shot Katie’s Bridal pictures (of Ben + Katie). They are getting married in Texas next month and she wanted to do Bridal’s before the wedding.

Bridal’s aren’t very common in the Pacific Northwest, so I really didn’t have that much (or any) experience to draw from. Let me rephrase that…I had NO idea what the hell I was doing. When that happens, I just go with my gut and do things my way.

I think her Mom was going to have a heart attack when I told her daughter to RUN in her dress in the MIDDLE of the road. When that happens, I usually know I am on the right track :)

Their Bond

Al + his Dad have been together for 13 years. Mom hired me to capture the connection between the two of them. It was actually a surprise and he didn’t know who I was until a few minutes before I got there.

Getting into the business of capturing the connection between Dogs and their owners is definitely a tricky one. Not everyone has the same relationship with their dog, and sadly enough, some people don’t really have that strong of a connection at all (this is rare). That being said, I can’t ever go into a situation expecting one thing, because I most certainly always end up with something else.

I can only hope that I did their relationship justice. It’s a very special one.

Kisses

If there was one photo that I could have of Gracie and I together … I think this would be it.
