Brazilian Style...

Big dog. Little dog.
Brice has a new big brother… and I do mean BIG! Brody is a 100 lb. mastiff… and still growing!  Just look at the size of those paws. Anyway, Lizzy bought in her new baby for some pet portraits just in time for Christmas (which explains the hat).  They’re both surprisingly amenable to wearing clothing – which is funny because Hailey will really have none of it.  Brice, by the way, is Hailey’s buddy after we dog-sat for him.  She was so upset when he left! My favorite.  Possibly one of this year’s four…

Mayhem with Models (Part II)
Part 2 of our evening commenced at… 11:30pm?  That’s not too late, right?  Right. Ingrid, Courtney, the models and I ventured over to Old-Town for some fun night shooting around the pier.  And wow… it was quiet out!  We might have seen 3 cars all night, and only the night watchman to keep us company.  I’ve never seen Old Town so empty!  Even with Chadwick’s pub right down the street, it was completely bare! Ingrid and I decided to play with some off-camera flash techniques for some extra pop.  This is also how I learned that my flash won’t attach to her strobe system, and why professional photographers should (and DO!) carry a reli

Mayhem with Models (Part I)
Mayhem with models is NOT, I repeat NOT the same as ModelMayhem… Anyway, another shoot that’s been a long time posting… Makeup Artist Courtney Anderson of Blueberries Wild wanted to collaborate with me on a high-fashion shoot with a few models.  We did 2 looks in studio – something a la Herbal Essences (very commercial, beauty ish.)  and then another look with crazy-ish makeup for more of a couture style.  The night itself was a rather l-o-n-g comedy of errors, beginning with the second photographer blowing a tire on the way down here, and Crystal (below) nearly blinding hers

Chloe & Domino
These two gorgeous girls are Chloe – the Shepherd, and Domino – the German Cooley.  Really good dogs, but as different as night and day.  Chloe is definitely the Alpha dog but as sweet as can be.  Domino is by far the submissive one.  She seemed to be a little terrified of Dave too, but well… understandable.  Chloe on the other hand had it out with Hailey, but really – we all know women don’t like the pretty aloof girl in class – so it’s all good.  (Hailey wiggles her butt too… I used to hate that in high school.)  And honestly, Hailey needs to be put into check once in awhile – she took one for pretty girls everywhere.  Anywa

Powder Puff Pierre
Meet Pierre.  He might look little, but this is one dominant little maltese!  Pierre is an Alpha dog all around – but it’s ok, because he’s just so darn cute!  If he doesn’t resemble a stuffed animal, I don’t know what does.  Just look at those shiny button eyes and puffy little tail.  Thanks to Xiya (pronounced “See-ya” which I am finally now pronouncing correctly) for bringing him in! Look at his happy little smile! “Wave for the camera”
