Kristina and Ken = LOVE

Sometimes I come across an image that just grabs me. This one did, so I had to post immediately.

Kristina and Ken, thanks for such a great time! You guys are fabulous!

More to come….

This week’s face belongs to gorgeous Zsa Zsa. Her name is a perfect match for her beauty! Zsa Zsa shares her home with a couple of other furry friends making quite a fun mix. I can’t wait to post more of Zsa Zsa and her family!

Happy Friday Face!

Here is yet another sweet little adoptable face. Her name is Kismet, and she is ready to be a part of your life! She is extremely friendly, and loves to play – as all kittens do! When I photographed her, she was very new to her foster home, yet she was not shy at all. Her inquisitive face is a perfect indicator of her outgoing personality!

If, by any chance, you would like to know more about her, please visit her page and contact Stray Cat Blues.

Happy Friday Face!

clouds are cool

August 7th, 2011  

I was working on this photo, and it struck me so much that I had to share it with you…immediately. Remember Alisha and Junior? They alone are gorgeous and wonderful. While processing this image however, I happened to notice the clouds. They’re pretty cool right? Honest, all I did in the post processing was darken them up a bit, and apply a vignette (for all you photographer types out there!)

Thank you Alisha and Junior for your amazingly cool pose. And, thank you sky, for your amazingly cool clouds!!

Say hello to Gio. Last week I went to photograph him for his Petfinder page, and that’s when I met Polo (last week’s face).

Giovanni is a handsome, lovey cat who is ready to purr his way into your heart and home. He had absolutely no problem posing for my camera, and playing with my toys. He LOVED the attention and purred the whole time. If you are looking for a beautiful orange and white tabby companion who will surely keep you company, then maybe Gio is the one for you!

Please check out Stray Cat Blues to see Gio and all of the wonderful cats who are patiently waiting to be loved by you!

Happy Friday Face!

Oak.

I love him. I’m sorry. He has so much going for him. Let’s see…he’s a Corso, and that’s cool. He’s a Firehorse Cane Corso, and that’s extra cool. He went to Westminster this year – cool too. But, mostly, he is adorable. He is full of personality, and charisma. He’s a lovable, big oaf… and that’s what gets me every time.

Jon, Angela and Oak make an amazing family. Not to mention that Jon and Angela have a voice for Oak, and you can have a full conversation with him (well, it’s not really Oak talking, but it’s fun anyway). There is such a great respect that they all share, and I really think that is so important. They love, trust, and totally respect Oak, and he gives that back to them tenfold.

Oak was the Friday Face a few weeks ago, and I have been waiting to show more. Last night Jon and Angela got to see all of the photos, so now I get to show more here!!!

Take a look at Oak’s gorgeousness!!

This could just, maybe, possibly be my favorite photo of the session. Ang, you’re gorgeous….Jon, completely handsome, and Oak….well you know…studly.

Please say hello to Polo. Let me see….he’s gorgeous, he’s a sweetheart, and he’s got a really cool name. The one thing that Polo does not have…is a home.

I met Polo and a few other cats and kittens yesterday when I went to do some photos for the wonderful rescue group, Stray Cat Blues. My amazing friend and long time client, Kat, had asked me to photograph a different cat (he’ll surely make an appearance later), and while I was there I met Polo.

Polo’s looks are unrivaled. He is very sweet and a total gentleman. He wasn’t sure what I was trying to do though. But, even still, he was very cordial. Polo needs a home. He needs a loving, caring home. Polo is FIV positive, which, honestly doesn’t mean much. He can still be a great companion, and he doesn’t need any special meds. I have met many wise old amazing cats who were FIV positive. The only thing any cat needs, FIV or not, is love.

Here’s my pitch. If you like this guy, and think you can give him a forever home, please contact Kat or anyone at Stray Cat Blues. You’ll be glad you did!

Happy Friday Face!!!

keesha

July 26th, 2011  

I don’t know, can you use the word demure to describe a wrinkly Shar-Pei? Absolutely, you can! Especially if that Shar-Pei happens to be sweet Keesha. Keesha is definitely wrinkly – that goes without saying, but where Keesha really shines is in her calm, demure personality. She will greet you with lots of wags from her tail, but she remains quiet and unassuming. It almost seems as if she doesn’t want to be annoying.

She loves attention, but doesn’t hog it. She loves to be petted, but won’t demand it. According to the breed standard, Shar-Peis are aloof and standoffish. That’s very true, but I think with Keesha, it should read, respectfully aloof and standoffish. :-)

Keesha and Amy have been together for 9 years. Keesha is now 11 and Amy says that Keesha has always been this sweet calm girl. It was easy to see the mutual respect they have for one another, and the love that they share.

You may remember last year right around this time, my Friday Face consisted of some farm animals. A donkey and a goat to be exact. Well, last week was our East Hill Farm week…the week we long for all year. The cherished week spent at the greatest vacation spot on earth…or at least we think so.

Thankfully, this year, the donkeys didn’t disappoint. We had to walk a bit to find them, but, once we did, they put on a lovely show. They really are silly animals. Their ears are huge, and they seem to like to make faces for your camera. Mostly, I think it’s because they are waiting for some treats. But, whatever the reason, it’s great entertainment.

So, here is this weeks face…one of the silly donkeys at East Hill Farm!

Happy Friday Face!

Gorgeous Stella. She was a dream to photograph…slept the entire time. Deanna (Stella’s mom) is spoiling me with all of these beautiful subjects. Dogs, cats, and now baby number two. Thank you, Deanna, for allowing me into your life to create images of your beautiful family!
