Who Am I?

I am not so sure about you strangers, but I am sure about my hairstyle. Isn't it fab-u-lous?

Flying Flutter

Ha, ha...watch me fly...

...with my friends.

I bet you didn't know--there are angels among us.

The Chase

I have never met a dog that can run like this. Seriously, you literally can't see him when he pours on the speed. His favorite thing is to be the Chasee! I don't think the Chaser dogs can see him either because apparently they never "get" him!

And while I have the classic shot of him running toward the camera, I prefer this one showing him doing his favorite thing. Thanks Ollie. You are a true sportsman!

PS He's a cavalier spaniel and beagle mix!!

Amazing Animals Video by BBC

This video from the BBC will give you chills!! Absolutely incredible videography of animals doing their thing...and of course, I love Louis Armstrong's song, "What a Wonderful World". It's totally worth taking the two minutes to watch.

Trail Blazer

I love to run on trails...can you tell?

Den of Light

Here's a series from the project I mentioned in my blog post, You Au Naturel.

My goal is to capture different facets of a person's personality in a purely natural way, meaning using natural light to showcase spontaneous gestures and expressions. Imagine yourself In your favorite clothes, doing your favorite things...or just being. In your "natural habitat" or not.

You in the raw, although not naked (!), exposed by beautiful light. I hit the jackpot by shooting in my den for this session. My patio outside the almost-floor-to celing windows was still covered in snow. It meant that literally we were shooting with a huge softbox of natural light that lit Nikki in extremely soft, diffused light. 

Many thanks to Nikki. You are beautiful inside and out. And such fun!! A little Brazilian music and we were off to the races! 

Gotcha!! FINALLY!!!

Well, it has taken all winter, but I finally got more than a glimpse of my cardinal. He is incredibly timid. Every time I walk in a room or go outside, he flies away!! I had to hide behind Daisy's dog bed for this shot. Of course, this is not the image I had envisioned, but beggars can't be choosers...as they say...and trust me, I have been begging!

One of My Favorite Neighbors

I was literally in the middle of a portrait session the other day, and my neighbor showed up for a peek. He usually walks right across my patio, a few feet from the house. I only had time to swivel around...no time to change my lens, but I shot him anyway. He has been visiting a lot lately. I think he is really hungry. I hope he is okay. This winter has been so harsh...
