more tabitha, the adorable dog i had the pleasure of photographing this weekend. someone needs to sponsor her as a dog model for purina or something.

in north carolina, dogs have favorites when it comes to college sports too. :)

tabitha, morgan, and elisa: tabitha only sits still for more than 2 seconds if there’s lots of attention involved – one of the few pictures where her tongue is not out. :)

such a sweetie! hopefully i have the opportunity to do more pet photography sittings in the future. i love to photograph everything, but pets are especially fun to photograph because they present a unique challenge: you cannot pose them. unusually obediant dogs, maybe, but even then it is nothing like posing a person. it’s candid and action photography as its best and definitely keeps you on your toes. you have to constantly adjust camera settings and patiently wait for that perfect moment when the dog actually looks in your direction. :) it was a blast!

camping was awesome! more to come on that later. however, being in the woods for 2.5 days can get really old really fast as you get continually rained on, swat hornets away from your fire-burnt food, and run up an incredible sleep debt due to all the shuffling noises outside your small overheated tent at night. we had a great time, but boy… i’m glad to be back in the world of showers, internet access, and microwaves. i’ll be posting pictures from our journey later this week.

here’s some photos from my session with travis and jennifer – a really adorable couple who were great to work with. they let me put them in all sorts of perilous jungle-gym situations while being gawked at by a bunch of 5-10 year olds manning the playground. you guys are awesome! :)
