Bella Da Dawg

I managed to persuade my model Bella to join me on a photo shoot today. All it took was a tennis ball- and a promise to take her swimming sometime while the weather is so nice.
Obviously this first shot was not actually taken today when it was 75 degrees outside. This was about a week ago when the ground was nothing but white. This Colorado weather is a crazy thing, all four seasons in one day sometimes. I caught Bella with this patch of snow on her nose miraculously. She loves the snow SOOO much that she buries her head time-and-time again while pouncing back and forth. It’s really hard to make her sit still long enough to take any sort of pic. I can't wait till this winter when we are living in the mountains where the real snow falls. She's going to have the time of her life!

This next shot is in our kitchen. I have been planning a “shoot” with both Bella and Ruby for a while now in here and haven’t actually gotten around to doing it. (I’m actually going to do it tonight though!) I like the contrast of the checkered linoleum floor with the black and white stove and white fridge. I turned around one day and Bella and Ruby were sitting there starring at me, as if saying, “If you don’t take a picture of us right here, you mine as well go throw your camera at the wall! I mean, God, Look at us!!” Everything seemed to flow perfectly. Black-&-white Rube’s with white Bella- White fridge with black-&-white stove.

I went to go get my camera, but as often happens, by the time I returned they were off doing their own thing again and getting them back into position was easier said than done. Tonight, that is going to change. I bought a new bone for both of them to play with and have the flash ready to rock. Tim will be around the house to help me out, so we’ll see what happens..

I'm back- and all that happened tonight was Tim and I chasing Ruby around to try and get her to even walk in front of the camera. I learned that not all K9's are as photo friendly as Bella Dawg. She actually enjoys posing for pictures it seams- lucky for me! I had her sit for a while and she just wagged her tail and looked directly at the camera.. Sweet! After a half-an-hour of trying to get Ruby to cooperate I figured that these two images were pretty cool so we called it a night.. Until next time
