Okay, maybe we’re not exactly famous but we are very well-known. Uh yeah…that too is probably a stretch, but Sam is beginning to make his presence known and during this election season, I’m doing what everybody else does…I’m hanging on to a real winner’s coattails.
I recently had the opportunity to have a local pet photographer take photographs of Sam for next year’s hospital pet therapy calendar and while we were there, she graciously took a few snaps of us together as well. Can I just say having my picture taken is the pits? I mean I’d rather set my hair on fire than pose for a camera. Photos of me are always disappointing and usually come off contrived or downright funky. I really do want them to turn out nice, but it’s super awkward for me to look at a camera and feel relaxed or confident even with a great sidekick like Sam. Yeah, it’s true, I have no photo mojo but have always admired those who seem to look so effortlessly fabulous in photos. The truth is, I’m kind of jealous of them, too. How do they do that so easily?! And why is that so hard for me? Talk about self-conscious angst. Ugh.
Well, I have to say I am over the moon thrilled with the results! Ariane from DelaFoto: Elegant Pet Photography did an amazing job with our photo shoot at Denver’s famous Washington Park and featured us on her blog! “Wash Park” as it is more commonly referred to is one of Denver’s most beautiful parks with gorgeous trees, well manicured flower beds, oodles of bike and running paths, wide open grass areas, a gorgeous lake and boathouse and we were there on one of those fabulous picture-perfect Colorado autumn days. The light was beautifully golden and really captured Sam in all his glory.
So check it out at Ariane’s blog. Thanks again for doing a fabulous job, Ariane! You even made me look good, and that’s no an easy task. Now the trick will be picking out the best ones. 🙂
Have you ever had professional photos taken of your fur-baby? Did you love ’em? How did the shoot go? Do you think Sam will become famous after his ‘glamour’ shots?
I haaaaate all pictures of myself so I completely get what your saying. That said, you and Sam look like freakin’ models! It’s great to see photographers who can capture amazing shots of people like us who prefer to stay on the other side of the camera. But really, those shots are gorgeous and I’m so glad you’re happy with them. Congrats on the calendar too!
Oh Monika. I had to comment on the photos and here. Stunning!!! She captured yours and Sam’s physical beauty and that if your hearts. So uplifting. !!!
Thank you for thee kind words, Bonnie. Ariane did such a nice job despite the 2-legged subject. 🙂
Absolutely fabulous pictures! I cannot wait to get my Christmas card! It’s going on the frig. Monika, you look marvelous!
You’re way too kind. Thanks. Yeah, I think this year’s card might actually be pretty good. 🙂
