New Way to Help

Now there’s a new way to help benefit the Edmond Animal Shelter: Kyla’s Cards!

Many of you know about my book, The Rescued. It’s been a great success, so I decided to expand the “shop” and offer alternatives, while still benefiting the Edmond Animal Shelter.

Kyla’s Cards come in two varieties: packs of 10 and packs of 20. And they’re so cute you won’t be able to stand it!

So logon now and purchase a pack for yourself, your neighbor, your Uncle Fred. And support this amazing cause that’s so near and dear to my heart: Paws for Life, Inc. and the Edmond Animal Shelter.

And look for more products in the future!

In a perfect world…

…every home would have a shelter pet and every shelter pet would have a home.

Below is today’s flyer from the Edmond Animal Shelter here in Oklahoma. Looks like there are some beautiful dogs looking for their forever home – and don’t forget the kitties! Click here to view all animals that are up for adoption as of today.

It’s these faces that make me love what I do.

News Bloopers

You may remember the post on my appearance on Channel 9 here in Oklahoma, or maybe you saw us! As promised, below are the shots I took that day pretending to shoot Kyla and Abby in a “session.”  I paid no attention to settings or focus most of the time. It was all a sham for the camera.

These are straight out of the camera – no processing at all. Some actually turned out good – some, not so much.

And some just make me laugh. Enjoy!

A Rite of Passage

I know recently I haven’t had any client shoots to post, it’s been crazy with two jobs and school. But not to despair – I have two scheduled for this weekend, as long as the rain stays away. So tune in soon for some client sneak peeks!

On another note, it’s been almost two years Kyla has graced my life and house, and she’s always loved her crate.

I’ve been mulling over getting rid of the crate for a long time, because she just doesn’t need it. She has never had an accident in the house, and she sleeps in it all night long and when I leave for errands on the weekends with the door wide open. It’s always been her space. Her bed.

Well I finally made the decision the other day. Since I had a photographer from The Oklahoman coming over to take photos of me and Kyla for another newspaper story on my book, The Rescued (YAY!), I thought I would clean up the place a little and taking her crate down just seemed like the right thing to do. I never realized how much space it took up in my tiny, humble office.

So it’s gone.

It’s gone. And she doesn’t seem to care. At all.

Just sleeps in her bed – it’s in the same place the crate was – like the crate is still there. I call it her new “open-air” bed.

She doesn’t look very happy here, but trust me, she is. This is her lazy look. I see it about 90% of the time.

That’s just too comfortable.

Success!

Just back from the Edmond Book Fair, and we sold some books! It was great exposure for the Shelter, Paws for Life, and my photography, too.

Abby stopped by and became the mascot for all shelter dogs, graciously and excitedly greeting everyone who stopped by.

My mom stopped by and snapped a photo of our table. Mary Robertson, head of Paws for Life holds up a The Rescued book for the camera.
