Reminiscing

I haven’t gotten a lot done with my photography lately.  I’ve had some back and neck problems which forced me to put down my camera for a while, and then Telluride had what MUST have been the longest winter in history, which has significantly delayed grass, flowers and anything green in general!  Then Bluegrass Festival arrived and they trampled everything that was just starting to reach for the skies…..

I’ve missed my summer sessions, and thought I would reminisce with some of my favorite photos from last year.  And yep, I did a bit of cleaning up of my computer while I chose these!  🙂   It really brought back some fond memories and made me miss a few dogs.

In no particular order, lets start with Gemma —  just to get the puppy fever out of the way.   Gemma does not live here, so this is one that made me sad!!!  Gemma was just a mere 7 weeks old in the first photo, and 9 weeks in the second.  It doesn’t get much cuter….

I’ve had two shoots with Walter and George, so that means more photos, right?  That sounds fair to me…..What good buddies these two are!!

If you don’t like to get a little wet every once in a while, don’t get a retriever.

We had part of the session in the most beautiful meadow……

Zoey is one of my all time favorites.   We finished her session in 45 minutes flat because she was so responsive, and so much fun.  I call her “Miss. Photogenic”.   She is a wild child for sure, and I always tell people who claim “oh, you can’t photograph my dog, she won’t sit, or stay….”  to just check out my session of Zoey.  She rarely stopped moving, but we did get a few “beauty shots” at the end.

Zeek was a customer favorite when he was displayed as a 20 x 30 canvas on my wall in the store….until his mom bought it.  🙂  Can’t blame her, such a handsome fellow, and sweet too.

Sardou, my favorite girl.  So lucky to have photographed her, as she fell ill last fall and after brief battle with cancer, we lost her.  SO full of spunk and attitude during her session.

And Miss. Macy.  We also lost Macy to cancer shortly after this session, and such a sweet girl she was.  Always one of my favorite customers, so polite and gentle.

That’s all the reminiscing I can get done tonight….I’ll end with a few shots of Blue, since a few customers have been asking where he has been.  He tore a ligament in his toe and is on strict leash walks and swimming for a few more weeks.  Maniac dog that he is, he probably did this while leaping like a crazed lunatic off the ledge into the lake.

So, without enough exercise, he is likely to drive me nuts at the store.  Here’s a few shots of him in the dandelions, goofing off of course!  And then a few of him rehabbing at the lake!  Thank goodness the boy likes water!

And since it is tradition, I will end with a beauty shot – this time of my own dog!  🙂

I am only taking very limited sessions this summer, so please book early if you are interested.  Right now my availability in July is only from the 5th to the 15th, and then I am unavailable until August.   Please use the “contact” link if you have questions or are ready to book.  Happy 4th of July everyone!!

Brenda Such gorgeous photos, Jen! You have such a unique gift for capturing the personality of each dog in their own special way. Hugs to Blue . . . hope he is feeling better soon and can enjoy some of the beautiful summer weather.

Carolyn Fun to look at these again. Beautiful colors in this last one of Blue.

Heidi Christmann Your work is just wonderful! So enjoy going thru and seeing how you capture each dogs personality and beauty. Hoping you’re feeling better and can enjoy the summer :-)!

Wendy Great recap. I was going to mention my favs, but the list is way too long.

Megan Great pictures!

Don I agree with Wendy…too many great shots to pick a favorite. Maybe the on of Blue “breaching”…or the Sheltie coming towards the camera…or…
