I have a deep love for animals, but I’ve never been a huge fan of large dogs. At least I never thought I’d want one for myself … until I met Dexter. He is just the sweetest, most playful dog! He will lick you and cuddle with you just like a cat, but he never holds a grudge. If you spoil a dog, it thinks you’re queen. If you spoil a cat, it thinks it’s queen.
Day 282: Love Is In The Air
Here are a few sneak peek photos from Saturday’s engagement photo shoot with Jennifer & Brian at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. I’ve known Jennifer since 5th grade, but it was great to finally meet Brian and see how happy they are together. And despite what they may say, they’re so photogenic!
(For those who don’t know, I do portraits in the Kansas City area. First-time customers can get the sitting fee and a high-res CD for $99.)
Day 281: It’s “Pink” Month
In case you hadn’t noticed, it’s breast cancer awareness month. Pink is everywhere. I was actually late to work the first day of October because they were installing pink lights on the Broadway Bridge downtown. I don’t mean to complain … awareness is important. By now I think everyone is aware; in my opinion prevention is key. If you’re a female 40 or older, get a yearly mammogram! Now on to the photo.
Day 280: Patching Holes
Well it’s official – we’re moving in less than a month. Earlier this year we had a little accident with the carpet in our apartment. Last night we tried our best to repair it. We had absolutely no idea what we were doing. If we still get our deposit back, I’ll consider this project a success (and one I can laugh at down the road).
Days 278-279: Autumn at its Best
I’ve spent a lot of time admiring the changing leaves and beautiful fall colors lately. And since the trees are almost to their peak already, you may see even more of these photos from me in the next few days.
Day 277: The New American Craze
Frozen yogurt shops are popping up all across the country. Even though they all look similar and taste the same, I don’t mind seeing them on every corner – I love this “healthy” treat. Our local frozen yogurt joint, Yogurtini, was offering 50% off yesterday if you simply said, “Yogurtini Rocks” when you paid. We couldn’t pass up on that great deal – 2 large desserts for $3.51!
Day 275: A Double Feature
I had to post two photos for Saturday. Saturday morning I had the privilege of doing family portraits for Bobby, Sarah, and baby Elise. I love this photo because it seems so real and natural. On Saturday evening I attended my former high school marching band’s “Electric Light Show.” My dad is the assistant band director there. I had a great time shooting photos of the band all lit up at night.
Day 274 & 276: The Colors of Fall
Now that it’s October, I feel like I can take photos of all things fall-ish. I’m splitting up my weekend blog post, because my Friday and Sunday photos go together so well. Tomorrow I’ll post Saturday’s photo. I had another busy weekend – I started to type out all the details, but I decided not to bore you. I think these colorful photos are enough.
Day 273: Grunauer Self-Portrait
Yesterday my parents dropped off a large plant at my office (another blog post on that later) and took me out to eat at Grunauer, a German restaurant in Kansas City. The space was so cool – old hardwood floors, antique furniture, and huge distressed-looking mirrors. (Not sure if I got the terminology right on that one.) I shot a few photos of the space, but I think this self-portrait is the most unique.
Day 272: Hungry Eyes
I didn’t intend to use my cat as my model yet again, but when she started looking up with those big eyes and begging for a treat last night, I couldn’t resist making her beg a little longer while I reached for my camera. (And yes, I did give her the treat after I got the photo. She deserved it!)
