Snowpocalypse 2009

December 21, 2009

Finally! DC got over 15 inches of snow this past weekend! Although we were snowed in much of the weekend, I was thankful that I was spending some quality time with my dear hubby and Bentley. We had plenty of junk food and watched endless movies on our Netflix DVD player (one of the best purchases we made so far this year).

I hope everyone enjoyed their snowy weekend as much as I have! Please be safe if you decide to drive. Can’t wait for Christmas to roll around in less than 5 days! Are you ready????

News Flash | Dogs have souls

May 20, 2009

I was driving this morning when I heard a phrase on the radio that caught my attention – “Dogs have souls.”  Researchers claim there’s long list of observable emotional and ethical behavior of dogs.  List of behaviors include:

• Dogs have a sense of fair play. They dislike cheaters. They experience joy in play. They delight in friends. Big dogs handicap themselves in games with little dogs.
• Dogs get jealous when a rival gets more or better treats or treatment. They are resentful, unnerved or saddened by unfair behavior. They are made anxious by suspense. They get afraid.
• They are embarrassed when they mess up or do something clumsy. They feel remorse or regret when they do something wrong. They seek justice. They remember the bad things done to them, but sometimes choose to forgive.
• Dogs have affection and compassion for their animal and human friends and family. They defend loved ones. They grieve their losses. They have hope.

WELL DUH~!!!  Did they really need research to prove that dogs have souls?

Sammy & Lydia at home

January 22, 2009

I’ve been on tilt waiting for Canon’s 5dmk2. So when I FINALLY received my very own 5dmk2, I couldn’t wait for a scheduled session. I headed over to my sister-in-law’s house. After all, they have 4 kids that I can photograph. The older two boys (Jacob & Nicholas) were out and about but Lydia and Sammy were home.
SCORE!

Here are some casual shots of Sammy & Lydia. And I can confidently say . . . This camera is a BEAST!

Westie’s day out to Old Town

October 24, 2008

I’ve been neglecting my dear husband and our Westie since I’ve been working many sessions on weekends. But this past weekend, I had a rare free morning so we decided to take the dog out to Old Town, Alexandria.

Bentley was really excited to hit Old Town in beautiful Fall weather.

We saw this cool abandoned train tunnel and decided to have some fun around it.

The other side through the tunnel revealed a beautiful neighborhood right along the Potomac River.

The race made Bentley tired. Does anyone else’s dog fall asleep while standing up like this?
