Nicole's Shoot Part 2- Hooray For Pugs!
This doesn't count as a sneak peek anymore because Nicole has already seen these photos, but I just have to share these because, really, who could resist that face:
In this photo and the last one they're waiting for a treat, guess what it is.....carrots! And they really were excited to get them too! If Samantha gave me a look like this and I gave her a carrot, a riot would ensue (or at least one of those incredulous looks shes so good at)
Hooray for pugs!
As I was headed back to the freeway I passed the local fire department doing a controlled burn of a building! Of course I had to stop and take pictures! I ended up staying and photographing that for almost two hours, it was pretty awesome to watch. I'll be posting my photos of the fire next time, so stay tuned! ;-)

Sneak Peek: Nicole & Phoenix
Winter tends to be my slow season for horse portraits, what with Washington weather being what it is and horse's tendency to turn into hairy yaks. That doesn't mean it can't be done, no m'am! Of course creative scheduling may be necessary to avoid getting wet and it helps if your horse has a short winter coat or is kept clipped. Adorable hunt clips are
This Sunday, after having to reschedule due to rain last Sunday (which of course was followed by an AMAZINGLY beautiful Monday :-P), I went down to Olympia to photograph the lovely Phoenix.
Phoenix was a bit of a ham! I totally expect a horse that's been stalled prior to the session to do a couple "hooray! I'm free!" laps around the pasture, but Phoenix had been hanging out in this pasture all day. He flew around the pasture at top speed, tossing his head and kicking up his heels. He was absolutely showing off.
Phoenix and his mom Nicole
Phoenix has a buddy named Eddie who is not quite as old as dirt, but definitely older than mud. Eddie's job is to be Phoenix's best bud, get loved on, and eat carrots. Eddie is very good at his job. At the end of the session we brought Eddie out to get a few shots of the boys together.
Phoenix was actually only part of the session, we also spent some time with Nicole's (human) boys and their three pugs. There was no way I was going to be able to pick only a couple favorites to keep this post from being impossibly long, so you're just going to have to wait until next time to see them!
Thank you Nicole for having me out! More sneak peek photos (and the full gallery) coming soon!
