First, here's Laurie in a photo that her sister took. Laurie's on the left, then goofy me, then Laurie's 89 year old dad with whom I'm a little bit in love, watch out Bill! then Crystal who went with me to Minnesota (and to Sweden a couple of years ago if she looks familiar) and who was trying to snag Mr. Erickson with her blond hair and blue eyes and I had MY green eyes on her yes I did!
I digressed.
So, Laurie is this fantastic photographer. I get awesome show photos.
(Okay, if you look carefully, I'm trying to be a real pro by tossing the liver and catching it. But notice how the liver is bouncing off my wrist and will soon hit the ground? Yeah, I'm cool!!!)
Lindy Loo looking glamorous!
But then there are the candids. Oh my heart! Absolute TREASURES, and there are tons more. It's impossible to choose which to share so I just randomly picked some.
Sweet essence of Sam I Am
Mia - Oh breath-taking!
Swede William and Sam - pure art
More art - Lindy Loo in the sunshine
But then...
there's the risk ... well, remember how your mother told you if you made a face it might stick like that forever?
Oh boy!!!
LAURIE!!!!!
I sure am lucky. And she did formal portraits, too. Wait til you see them!!!
hug your friends and your hounds

You forgot NICE. No adjectives or superlatives needed. Laurie is just nice in every possible way.

Oh my gosh, Patience, what beautiful candids! I think my very favourite is Sweet Essence of Sam I Am, though allof the ones of the dogs (heheheheh - not of your face sticking like that!) are amazing!
ReplyDeleteLaurie sounds like a very special person - and she is certainly a very special photographer.
I also am so very grateful too the very talented Laurie. Because of Laurie I have Early photos of our Halmarque Whippets from MN. So very precious to me! (I'm from MN but retired to SC. five years ago.)
ReplyDeleteRecently August 10th I lost my old sweet Sara 16 1/2, and Murphy in 2008 at 14. My most precious loves.
(I painted the small watercolor Maria and Giacomino for you last year.) xxooo!
Beautiful dogs, beautiful photos (Even the one where you're making faces.) :-)

ReplyDeleteFunny!! I would never have noticed the bouncing liver and would have simply been in awe of you showing your own beautiful hounds!
ReplyDeleteLaurie is a gem. Well of course you are too! Loved the photo of you all with Laurie's dad! R
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, beautiful dogs. (And the people aren't bad either! :)
ReplyDeleteOh how I'd love to have a real photographer spend one weekend with my dogs. I'd so love to have really nice portraits of them. Yours are wonderful.

Beautiful shots of your dogs, and no my mother never said that -maybe she was a funny lady like you are:)
ReplyDeleteRooting for your trailer, you are right, it's painful to leave anyone home when you're off to the shows!
Love the photos, both dog and human! That one of Sam I Am is amazing...so much feeling and sweetness there.
