She showed off her many faces…

But it wasn’t all modeling.  She ran…

Like a crazy lady…

Jumped…

Took a break…

Ran and fetched (sort of) some more…

Cooled off in the pool…

And when the dark clouds moved on, hung out in the sun with a treat.

All in all, a pretty good morning for Miss Lily!

A few weeks ago, Connah’s mom contacted me about a surprise session for dad’s birthday, a fantabulous idea as far as I’m concerned.  It was all very hush-hush and secretive, something neither of us girls are particularly good at — but we managed to do it.   Happy Birthday, Pat!

Max has since been diagnosed with cancer and has started treatment – think positive thoughts for the sweet old boy!

And I may have squealed a little when I saw them.  Well, more specifically, their paws.  Their kitten mittens.  They’re enormous – it makes them look like they have boxing gloves on.  Seriously, they’re AWESOME.

I’m a big fan of high contrast black and white shots – not all my clients lend themselves naturally to such shots (nor do my own creatures), so when they do, I like to take advantage.  And I happen to think Nancy and Joe look fab in b&w.
