So today, on what feels like the 100th straight day of rain, we decided to do something that we haven’t done in years… go bowling! To clarify, Kev and my Mom bowled… and I took photos. Bowling just isn’t my thing, and quite honestly it gets depressing when you lose EVERY single game. So I brought my camera along to occupy myself and we all had a good time. In case you’re wondering… yes, that is my husband in the photo taken above. And no, he was not embarrassed to wear that outfit…

The next shot is my Mom, tearing up the bowling alley. Look at those pins jumping out of the way…

  • isabel - LOL! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE a man with style!

  • john...of johnwairephoto - that shot of your hubby ROCKS! a classic.

  • Krista :) - Nice legs KEV!!!! LOL!

I don’t remember the last time I saw the sun. It’s getting ridiculous… this rain just WILL. NOT. STOP. In an effort to substitute some sunshine into my life, I’m posting a couple images from our recent trip to Florida (which, by the way, shows a current weather report of mostly sunny and 93 degrees… so not fair!). Clear blue skies are like a distant memory at this point…

Stay tuned for another fun little giveaway, expected next week!

  • Christy - Nice!
    We SOOO need the rain right now, it’s getting ridiculous. Send it our way please!!!!

  • isabel - June weddings are supposed to be ridiculously hot…I’m so bummed that they’ve all been under yucky weather. Right about now I miss Florida too. 🙁

  • john...of johnwairephoto - you’re post must have worked. sunshine in baltimore 🙂 happy friday!

  • Stephanie - I will trade you April. I will take a day or two of rain and give you some sun. It has been 95 and humid for the past week!!! Love the second shot

  • Nicole - I hear you. Rain is making me so depressed. Thanks for the sunny FL pics! I’m excited to see your new giveaway… I’m still brainstorming and best get to it as blog comments are still pathetically low. I’ll do a sun dance with / for you!

  • Jennie Sloan - This rain is awful isn’t it? And it looks like rain all weekend. sigh.

Angus is such a classic bulldog… a big ball of love! I just love him, and it’s evident how much his parents do too. He was a trooper during our session. If you have a bulldog, then you know that they are not big fans of hot weather. The heat and humidity was a bit too much for him the day of our session so we had to venture outside in intervals and retreat to the air conditioning when we saw poor Angus’ tongue start dragging. You’d never know it by his photos though…

If you want to see the Angus slideshow, click HERE! Turn on the speakers and watch. It’ll make you smile. I promise.  

This is one of my FAVORITES! He jumped up on the bench and made himself comfortable…

A regal portrait… He looks quite distinguished here, don’t you think?

Aaaaand, he’s over it…

  • Jennie - totally love it!! And the seventh pic (i think) in your slide show, the close up of his face, TOTALLY ROCKS. One of my favorite bully shots ever!

  • Julie - April- you are an amazing photographer and he is so handsome! Great work!

  • melissa - Love these, April!

  • Emily Beaty - Wow! These are great!! Color is perfect. I LOVE the wide angle series – so funny!

  • Angus & Robyn - We cannot stop talking about our photo session and how PERFECT the song was that you placed to the slide show. We’ve showed all of our family, friends, and coworkers and they all think the photos are wonderful. I have to say my favorite one is the one of him on the bench with the bumble bee. 🙂

  • Christy - What a cute bulldog! Bulldogs rock!

  • Jill Manson - Love the slideshow it was great! You do a spectacular job! I remember Angus from the Bullyfest–so handsome!! The song was awesome, too! Can’t wait to see ours with Jersey Girl!!!

Recently a client contacted me to do a photo session of her bulldog as a wedding gift for her soon-to-be husband. I was flattered. And thrilled. Even moreso when I heard that she wanted me to create this card for her to give him on their wedding day…

I snapped a couple photos of the card before I sent it off. From what I hear, the groom was quite happy with his wedding gift and card. Who couldn’t love this sweet face…

Today’s Monster Monday post will be substituted with an equally adorable Boston Terrier that I got to meet last weekend… Molly. She’s the most friendly little girl and loves everyone… except my camera. Turns out that Molly is a bit camera shy. We did what we could not to terrify her, but even steak could not convince her that the camera is not that bad. We got a lot of this expression…  

But I have to reassure Molly’s moms… Even though she made me work for it, we ended up with plenty of rockin shots. Like this…

And by the end of the session, she had warmed up to the idea of being a model. Some cheese even earned us a little EYE CONTACT! Woot!!
