The many faces of Ophelia

I've known dear Ophelia since my friends Adam and Cassandra rescued her two years ago.  I knew she was sweet, calm, and loved to have her belly rubbed, but I had no idea how photogenic she would be!  Looking through them, I joked with my boyfriend about "the many faces of Ophelia."  Within minutes she is playful, wise, demure, joyful, and of course, always quite assured of how much we all love her.    

Fabulous pig intelligence

Love Lincoln

Isn't Lincoln a beautiful dog?  We did his shoot behind Dumbarton Oaks and it was magical morning July morning, aside from the mugginess, and Lincoln, despite all that fur, just shone.

It's been a beautiful summer of travel. What have you been up to? Believe it or not, I'm already starting to look at holiday 2013 shoot dates.  Let me know if you are interested in scheduling one before things get too full.  I'm thinking it's going to be a great end of the year. :)

With love,
Gracy 

Royal, Abby and Chris in Chicago!

A little help....

This spring has been so busy and I was shocked to see that my last post was two months ago. Woah! Does anyone else ever feel like they can get so behind without even noticing it?  It's easy to get caught up in the details of doing everything right and on-time, but harder to remember to stop, enjoy life and focus on the important things.  So in short, I'm a blog procrastinator but I love you and your dogs and cats (and all of your other animals) and this YouTube video of a bulldog herding boar piglets and I'm really looking forward to a wonderful summer.  Let me know if you are itching for some pet photography! My end of May/June is pretty darn busy but I'll squeeze you in just because you are you.  Have a beautiful day! XOXO

Adopt Tony!

Tony and Ophelia

Pondering life...

Adopt him!

This just in from my friends Adam and Cassandra who are super dog foster parents! I featured their last foster, Lola, on the blog a few months ago and someone scooped her up after seeing her adorable face. Now they are fostering Tony, who is also a great dog in need of a good home. Any takers?

"If you're looking to bring some puppy love to your life but you're not really sure a high energy dog would be the perfect match for you, Tony is your guy! Originally from South Carolina, Tony has recently brought his loving personality to DC. He loves meeting new K9s and has a very gentle disposition: he's the pup for whom people at the dog park give you compliments. He's very curious and never says no to the chance of playing or going for a walk, but he's also very content to just follow you around the house or take a nap. He truly is a wonderful dog; he looks tough but is sweet silly goose. He LOVES to snuggle with people and other dogs. He bonded immediately with his K9 foster sister and they've been great napping companions, sharing the dog bed (and the futon, and the rug, and the backseat of the car). He is also very good on walks in the woods, and is now working on feeling more relaxed when going for strolls in the noisy neighborhood. This pup is great with people and kids. We don't think he's cool with cats, they surely look yummy. Tony would do great in a family with other dogs, but would probably also shine on his own. If you'd like to adopt or meet Tony, please contact Noris, his adoption coordinator, at nwm823@yahoo.com and visit his page here."
