Pom-Pom Girl...

This little gal lives two doors down and makes the occasional appearance at our back slider. If Quincy isn't outside, she'll stand at the door and just bark and bark and bark...until we let Q out.

We don't know her name so we call her Miss Pom-Pom or Pom-Pom Girl (real creative, huh?). She's really cute but a little shy.  It took her forever to get this close to Q.  Of course, he just wants to play like crazy but I think she's more interested in teasing him than anything else.

Once Q is outside, they play for a few minutes and then she dashes away just as quickly as she appears.

Today, I grabbed my camera just in time to snap a couple of shots before she disappeared!

Love those little elves...

Yesterday, some elves arrived and helped decorate around our house...thank goodness for those little guys!! Ok, well maybe it was one big elf named Bob!

Here's a snippet of some of what they he did...

 I think I better rearrange those Christmas presents so the tree doesn't look so small in comparison!

THIS is the very first Christmas ornament Bob ever got for me!  He was cute and thoughtful back then too!

This last shot was a whoppin' 4 seconds long for the exposure.

Can you tell how much I still love my new/old camera!!

Get a J.O.B.!

I'm behind on posting so today's a two for one!

A couple of weeks ago I decided to play around with my camera so I invited Quincy to join me in my make-shift studio (our game room).  Yeah, that's right, I've taken over part of the game room...much to Bob's dismay!

Anyway, Quincy was more than willing to take part in my mini-shoot.  I thought it would be mission impossible since I was working solo and Bob wasn't here to help keep Q's attention.

As you can see, he was more than happy to cooperate, at least for a few shots...

A few shots in and this is what I felt like he was telling me...

After another couple of minutes, I guess he got bored to tears because this is all I got...

I think he needs to get a J.O.B.!  :-)

First snow...

I'm a couple of days late in posting this but better late than never, right? It's hard to believe it's THAT time of year again.

 

Just enough snow to be a nuisance.  

 

Before we know it, Christmas will be here...maybe even a white one this year!?

I love how the snow weighted this decorative grass down.  It was almost as if I can see the flakes piling up right in front of my eyes as I snapped this shot.

Can't possibly be Monday already...

Wow, that was a whirlwind of a weekend!

The only consolation in knowing it's Monday already is that I got to meet (and photograph) the newest little Lepley at JUST three days young!

Introducing Reagan Thompson Lepley born on Wednesday at 6:35 am, 8lbs 6oz, 19 inches long...

Happy Monday!

Model for hire...

Today we setup our backdrop stand and had our first official photo shoot!

Well, sort of.

Too bad this guy isn't a paying customer!  :)

Meet Haylee and Mylee...

Saturday I had the opportunity to spend some time outside trying to capture some last minute family photos for my friends Beth and Andy.  If you recall, it was only about 45 degrees out which wasn't the most desirable temps for outdoor family photos.  :-(

Their poor little girls were such great troopers, taking blanket breaks as needed.

Meet Haylee and Mylee...

I'm pretty sure that I prefer the heat of summer compared to these temps!
