I spent a good chunk of the day yesterday traveling to and from Whidbey Island for a shoot.
Although I was exhausted, Gracie was just too beautiful in the summer evening light to not pick up my camera for a few shots.
I really love the first one.

Friends

I think it is safe to say that I have been shying away from studio work for far too long. So if I want to continue to shoot throughout the year, this means I need to have options. As to how I am going to use this option is still yet to be determined.
Always up for a challenge, I have been refining my studio set up in preparation for the best of the Seattle winter.
My friends are so good to me. Melissa graciously volunteered to model for me. Gracie, who was originally supposed to be on the sidelines, was having none of that as she is quite used to being front and center. The studio set up isn’t near where I want it to be, but I’m confident I’ll get there. It just takes practice (and willing models).
Here are a few shots of Gracie + Melissa
Just A Baby
July 31, 2008 – 9:14 am
My sister and I have said it for as long as I can remember. I think we picked it up from our friend Erica back in high school who had these awesome Doberman’s named Congie and Ebony. We would sit around and pet them and say “Ahhhh, you’re just a BABY!”
Really it can be said in just about any situation. But most of the time I use it when Gracie is so exhausted that a T-Bone steak wouldn’t get her up. This is exactly how she was yesterday after a full day at Daycare. Daycare is currently part of her “weight management program”, which I’m happy to say is currently a success.
After daycare, I looked over from my computer (she is my office buddy), saw this and said, “Ahhhh, you’re just a baby!” I had to grab my camera.
Yes. This is really how she sleeps! The incredible folding dog.
Studio Gracie
July 28, 2008 – 3:07 pm
On a whim, the studio equipment came out this weekend. Every so often I get the urge to shoot studio, then I remember why I don’t do it all the time.
It is HARD.
Gracie is probably the most trained dog I know when I comes to being photographed so I use her a lot for testing stuff out. She wouldn’t work for free though. I ended up with string cheese all over me, my camera, and everything else.
