Dog Sitter

Sarah is about to go live with her new Blog and website. We have taken a bunch of photos for her -- of her, of her with her hubbie, of her dogs, of her doggie clients, etc.

She will be the People's Bank new business of the month at Stop N Shop in Hamden. Congrats!

Here is a collage that will go on the Table at People's Bank. I have also posted two much earlier drafts of ads for her business.

Rosa's Family

We photographed Rosa and Mike's wedding two years ago (Happy Anniversary Sept 30th). Since then they have been blessed with two adorable kids. Last weekend we photographed Rosa's family, 15 in all, with her siblings families and her mom. We went to Rosa's sisters' house for the portrait session. Carol had a beautiful house, we moved a few pieces of furniture around, set up our lights and umbrellas and started photographing. We photographed each of the 4 families of Rosa and her 3 siblings, Rosa's mom with her five grandchildren, Rosa's mom with her four kids, just the siblings, Rosa's mom with her four "in laws" plus a big photo with all 15 people in it. It actually went very fast and in just under an hour and about 150 photos later we were done. We are thankful to Rosa and her family for giving us this opportunity, it was a lot of fun.

Here are some (27!) of our favorites images, including a couple of Black and white images and one chocolate. The rest of the photos are on our website: http://tlc.smugmug.com/Portraits/617228

DOGS from Paws N Effect 9-27-08

OK, here are more photographs from Responsible Dog Ownership Day at Paws N Effect last weekend. There are even more photos from this event on our http://tlc.smugmug.com/ website in this gallery: http://tlc.smugmug.com/gallery/6083324_dS7vT#381846698_cM37h

There were so many handsome and cute dogs, here are some of the highlights. We have so many favorites from this batch!

Enjoy...

Fiona is a Great Dane St. Bernard mix -- and I thought that it was so cool that she has a star on her chest. I have seen intersting designs on dogs and cats before but never a STAR!







A watercolor just seemed to work for this photo of Casey.







Meet Ginger

This is Rocky, a Shihzu mix -- can you believe that he is 18 years old???

Nelson was just groomed so he was a little anxious, but we still managed to get some good photos...

This is Angus, you just gotta love labs...

This is Jimmy, a coonehound. His owner is a dog trainer. This dog was so expressive and his eyes followed Bob, his owner, everyhwere he went.

This is Simon, a shelty. Tom's parents had a Shelty. Just look at the face!

This is Ellis, an English Bull Terrier.

The owner's really liked this profile of Ellis, as he is on point as he would be when shown.
