The aquarium was incredible!

One of my other passions besides photography is animals. If I didn’t completely love them, I would have gotten rid of my red-eared sliders in their two 35-gallon tanks long ago. (See below.)
Ducks live at our apartment complex, and they love to play in the mud!
This is our sweet cat, Esme. (Ez-May) We stole the name from the “Twilight” series.
I guess she’s not always sweet. She plays rough!
My two turtles, Michaelangelo and Leonardo, are quickly growing to the size of a dinner plate. When I bought them in college, they were the no bigger than a quarter, and they were swimming around with hundreds of other little guys in a mall aquarium. I felt sorry for them, and the salesman said they wouldn’t grow bigger than my hand. I quickly discovered his lie as soon as I walked into PetSmart with the little creatures and heard gasps from the associates. “You know how big they get, right?” Well, I do now.
This may not be the best photo I’ve ever taken, but it shows the daily battle between my pets.
In case you didn’t know, tonight is the season premiere of one of my favorite shows, the Biggest Loser! And over the last few days, I’ve been hearing a lot about the infamous weight loss New Year’s Resolution. In honor of getting healthy, and for a little motivation to keep your New Year’s Resolution, I’m offering FREE portrait sessions! For those of you who are setting weight loss and fitness goals this year, I’ll do a photo shoot of you after you achieve your goal! The first five individuals who sign up and meet their goal will receive an “after” portrait session free of charge, and everyone else will receive half off their sitting fee! Contact me at lindyd_03@yahoo.com for details. This offer is good through Feb. 5, so make this your time to get healthy and look great!
My husband and I visited Grandpa to give him a small gift – a wedding photo of us.
He took his time and opened it very carefully.
He studied it …
And he finally gave us a little smile.
Although his Alzheimer’s prevents him from talking much, it’s obvious that things like this brighten his day. He didn’t want to let go of the photo when we left, so we let him keep a hold of it instead of hanging it on the wall.
So many of us want family portraits around the holidays, and that’s why I’m running the Holiday Portrait Special. From now through December 31, get 1/2 off the sitting fee. Professional, outdoor photos for only $49! After the photo shoot, we can work together to create holiday cards, or you can simply order prints or a high-resolution CD of images. (Please note, portraits need to be taken by Dec. 4 to arrive in time for Christmas.)
With school back in full swing, many high school students are thinking about senior portraits. I know many people feel like they have to pay an arm and a leg for high-quality, creative senior portraits, but it doesn’t have to be that way! Book your senior portraits with me now through Dec. 1 (book up to 1-year in advance), and get the sitting fee for $99. This includes two hours of photography, unlimited clothing changes, and multiple outdoor locations. I am also offering a high-resolution CD of images for $100, so you can print your photos at a reduced price. (50% off!) Or ask me for my pricing list to see the cost of affordable, professional prints. And don’t forget albums, canvas wraps, graduation announcements, and more! Contact me at lindyd_03@yahoo.com.
On Fourth of July, I spent some time with 4 month-old Caleb and his family. He was somber at first, but after a while we got him laughing. What a beautiful baby!
Last weekend I did family portraits for the Perez family. It was the only time all of the grand kids have been together for a family photo – I feel honored to capture them together! Even though it was raining, we had a good time. Below are a few of the photos.
This week I had the privilege of shooting family portraits for Shawn, Angela, and 6-week old Grace. We picked the hottest day of the year, but we managed to get some good shots with beautiful baby Grace at the gorgeous Loose Park.
