Dog Washing

Yesterday after work, it was soooo HOT!! Last weekend Roper and I went to a friends house in Oakdale and spent the afternoon lounging in the sun and catching up on the latest happenings. My friend is currently re-landscaping their backyard; getting the pool resurfaced, new concrete patio, new grass, new flowers, A GARDEN!! I'm jealous :) So Roper got to hangout with Missy and Zena; which was the highlight of his day let me tell ya! He was running around, chasing lizards with Zena, trying to wrestle with Missy, and frolicking through weeds and the arena! He was having a blast!! With all this running around and mischief making, he was red with the concrete stain...........so, since the sun was out and it was so nice yesterday, I gave Mr. Roper a bath :)  Much to my surprise, he stood there on the concrete slab as I washed the red away. After he was dried off we played for a while and he modeled a little bit :)

Each of these images are very different. I had fun playing with the light and whatnot :)

Handsome Boy :)

I caught this shot when we went and visited the kittens.

Roper

Extremely energetic, acrobatic, and athletic, Roper is going to be 11 months old in a few days!!! HOLY MACKEREL!!  I cannot believe how fast time has gone by since I got him back in September! I am so thankful that I found him on craigslist...NO SHAME!! And to think that I went to the breeder's house and wasn't going to get him. SO glad I did. He has changed my life. He is my very best friend. The one I tell all my secrets to and he listens when there is no one else around. Not to mention how smart this dog is!! Training him has been quite the experience, but worth every second. He knows how to sit, lay down, lay all the way down, hi-five & shake with BOTH paws, rollover, he doesn't run off (except once), and he has ALMOST mastered holding a treat on his nose until I say he can have it :) I love my partner in crime!!

My buddy :)

I found him napping here one afternoon!

Co-pilot!

Yah....his tongue is just toooo big for his mouth lol

Mr. Crooked Lips :)

 No Editing on this next one...the sky was RED!!!!

Little Bit of This & Little Bit of That

So today's post is going to be a little bit random, but random is fun!! Well at least I think so lol....Here we go! So today, on my lunch break I logged onto creativeLive and watched a couple inspiring videos that encouraged me to take some photos this afternoon. These videos all had one theme in common, KEEP PRACTICING. So that's what I decided to do! I went outside after I got home from work and the light was so fun to work with!! (Light is probably my BIGGEST inspiration!) I was able to just walk around the property and take shot of anything!! IT WAS AMAZING!!!! and FUN! Annnnnnnnnd.....most importantly it was good practice :) As some of you know I have recently moved, so now I can show off a little bit of what I get to see every day :) Enjoy friends!

Bronté & Lance | Everyday

I am so excited to share this session with you all!! Bronté Phillips has been a very close friend of mine since I started college. We had Ag Economics together at MJC and instantly became friends. We used to sit in class and laugh at this boy who sat in the front because we thought he was so awkward and quiet…seriously, he literally NEVER spoke!! As the next year went on, I got a call one day from Bronté who started to tell me that she and that weird boy from Ag Econ were going on a date!!! Now here they are, two years later (I can’t believe its already been that long!!) and so in love. So incredibly happy that these two people have found each other! I was bored one day at her house so I convinced them to let me shoot them!!! (With a camera of course!! :)  Enjoy!!

 I love how the leaves on the tree made a heart around them :)

 My fav!

And last but not least, I just HAD to throw this in with my assistant Mr. Roper :) (he loves his Auntie Bee!!)
