Has She Gone Plum Logo?

Trying to come up with a new logo for dogphotography.com So being a literal type of gal, I thought I would start with a dog and photography. Well then I got a little crazy and replaced a camera for the photography part (thinking outside the ol box camera). And then I really went crazy...see what I mean?

Blue mood

Did you say something?

Lyle Lovett Sneer

I photographed Matilda yesterday. She's a cattle dog who recently had an aggressive form of cancer in her mouth that resulted in part of her jaw being removed. She is pain free, has a good prognosis,  and is full of piss and vinegar. Her mom, Tina, thinks Matilda now sports Lyle Lovett's sneer when she smiles.

Really happy about that hole she just dug

Fruits of her labor

Arlo moves on to more captivating stuff

Are you Lyle Lovett?

Nobody likes an empty audience. If you wish to be highly entertained and exposed to a wonderful book and read, please come! Here is a great interview with her that gives a good idea of what to expect from the lovely Ms. Kate:

Shedding Light

Here's a peek at a project I have been working on of dogs shadows and reflections. I put together this book for a book contest (along with the help of the impeccable taste of Ms. Hayes who has that design flair covered). The book takes a bit to down load and if the pages are white, that means the photo did not load yet. Let me know what you think!

Rudy Tooty

Tomorrow is the 5th anniversary of having to say goodbye to my first dog pal since I have tried to be an adult. Rudy Roy was his name. Everything I know about dog I learned from him. He found us on July 4th 1995. We kept him knowing who he belonged to but not wanting to return him for ethical reasons. We became fugitives from the law. Within a month, we moved from a condo to a house. Two years later I became a dog photographer. So here's to Mr. Rudy, my dog poet, my red dog, my Blaze. I loved that dog.

Ball?

Pillow snarking

Synchronized sniffing

Balls I chucked out at Marymoor after he died. 

One of the last photos I took in May. He was 10yrs old. We had no idea he was sick yet.
