It’s been a while! I’ve been remiss at keeping the blog up to date, but I have to take the time to do a special entry….meet Oreo! When Ethan, Oreo’s owner sees this post, it will be a complete surprise, and I hope a good one. Ethan’s friend contacted me about photographing Oreo on her way back to Colorado Springs from California, ultimately deciding to detour to Telluride in order to get the photo session done while he was deployed. Oreo is twelve years old and a cattle dog mixed with….who knows what!? But she certainly doesn’t act like she is twelve, and was really fun to work with despite the weather not being entirely cooperative, and the river being a muddy mess. Hello, Oreo!
Looking lovely with Ingram Falls in the distance….
And I’m just loving her ears in this shot on the bridge. 
We had to really explore to find some interesting places to photograph…I rely heavily on the river being clear and pretty, but we had very hot days with heavy snowmelt, so anything involving the river was not an option. But who would have thought that dandelions gone to seed could be so pretty?
As you can see, Oreo still has PLENTY of spunk left at the age of twelve. It’s just a number, after all!
A close up for the pretty model!
And a super-duper close up. You have to embrace the grey! Look at those gorgeous eyes….
We took a little drive in search of some flowers….and struck gold!
Check out the look….I have PLENTY of these, by the way. She was a bit silly and liked giving me goofy expressions.
Nothing like running through the mountains….
But a gal has to stop occasionally for a beauty shot. 🙂
So regal!
And, saving one of my favorite photos for last, Oreo sassing off. Yep, we hear you!
I’m so glad the timing worked out to get this done – I think you were in town for all of four hours! I’m also thankful that although it was cloudy most of the time, we didn’t have rain. I hope you enjoyed your surprise, Ethan! You certainly have a really amazing friend – and an amazing dog as well! And no, I couldn’t help myself but to call her “Oreo-e-o….” over and over…it’s rather addictive. 😉
