George’s mom received a FidoJournalism session as a gift from her friends (yes, dog photography makes a great gift!), but we had to wait to schedule the session after the groomer mixed George up with another dog and gave him the wrong haircut - a mohawk, I think. While that would have made for some funny pictures, I’m glad I got the real George because he was super cute.
He loves to play with his toys and chew on his treats. He was a little bundle of energy and kept me on my toes, but I think we got some great shots:
George gets lots of attention from his mom.
I was worried that George was afraid of the camera, but apparently he likes to play hide and go seek under the couch.
There was some yummy light in the bedroom.
I think this was my favorite shot of the session.

I don’t usually post stuff from my “other” job as a wedding photographer for Love Life Images, Inc., but this was too fun not to share. Each year we have a day where we take a camera with us everywhere and shoot our lives from morning til night. We turn it into a fun photo story slideshow. Of course Jingles and Cooley make their appearances, so I guess it’s somewhat relevant to this blog.
The shoot was Wednesday, which happened to be a day when our day care provider was unavailable, so I “had” to bring our son Ryan to the studio with me. Of course he made his way into nearly every shot, so it’s really a story of his day. But my life pretty much revolves around him now, so it makes sense. The logistics of getting an 8-month old ready while shooting pictures was a bit tough, but we had fun.
For my photographer friends, this is a really fun exercise and helps you think about how to make every moment into a picture. There’s always a picture to be made, even in the seemingly mundane. This is the second year we’ve done this, and it’s great to have a snapshot (no pun intended) of my life and to see how things change from year to year.
Okay, enough babbling… here is a Day in My Life: http://www.lovelifeimages.com/stephendaylife2008

Let me know what you think!
Oh, and since I should post a picture with every post, here is Ryan trying to kiss Cooley. We’re trying to get the dogs to stop licking him in the face, but it’s tough when Ryan WANTS to go in for the kiss!

Molly and Buster were my first official cats-only session. I never know what to expect with cats, and am always afraid they’ll be afraid of the camera and run away. Buster was the complete opposite. He has his spot in his chair, and he doesn’t move! Literally, he didn’t get up the whole time I was there. Molly was a little more camera shy at first, but she warmed up and I really like the shots of her as well.
Buster took time out of his nap to acknowledge my presence.
Not for long though…
Here’s Molly. I love her green eyes against the green wall.
Little Jordan loves playing with her feline sibs.
Buster plays a game where he tries to swat a little toy out of the air.
I almost deleted this shot, but ended up really liking the dramatic light.
More Molly…
Finally, Buster being Buster.
