First Midwest Snow

The first snowfall has arrived in the Midwest.  As much as I hate Winter it was cool to watch and of course photograph.
This post is over a week late and the snow is already melted.  Rest assured there is more coming.
Enjoy the gallery.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pet Photography: Baily Schulting Turns One – September 2015

To celebrate Baily’s first birthday  we did a mini photoshoot.  I say mini because my goal was to capture more but he’s a very active puppy.  Full of energy and always on the go!
Here’s a quick flashback to his first session.  It’s amazing how much he’s grown in one year.
Happy 1st Birthday Baily!

Snapshots of Life Lately – Midwest Winter 2014

A snowstorm passed through the Midwest this past week.  As mentioned in my previous post I was looking forward to documenting the event with photographs.  This has been the first decent amount of snow we’ve received at one time since the Winter season started.  The boys enjoyed it as well.
Have a nice weekend.

Winter Solstice 2014

Happy Winter Solstice!
It’s hard to believe that 2014 is coming to and end.  Another hard to believe fact?  There’s no snow on the ground! I’m not complaining, but it would be nice to have just a little for Christmas.  I clearly remember this time last year shoveling several inches.
This image was captured this morning in my backyard.  I told the boys today was the first day of Winter.  They don’t believe me.
Are you ready for Christmas?  Just a few things left to finish up and then I’m all set.  Within the next week I’ll be sharing some simple DIY projects I created for gifts.  Don’t want to give out any spoilers to my family.
Until then, enjoy your day!

Halloween 2014

For Halloween this year we decided to give the boys their own trick or treat in the backyard.  They have Easter baskets and Christmas stockings, so why not add some colorful pumpkins.  
Once they figured out what was in them getting a decent photo was a challenge.
They go absolutely crazy over apples and bananas.  Here and there we dice up one or the other and mix it with their kibble.  By the way, apples do wonders for their breath.

My Life With Dogs: Easter Egg Hunt (2014)

The weather was gorgeous today so we decided to have an egg hunt for the boys.  They loved it!  And of course I had the camera out. Enjoy the video and pictures.  Happy Easter!
P.S. The basket was mine from when I was little.  So yes, it’s vintage!

My Life With Dogs: Things That Go Boom In The Night

House laying next to my office chair as I work.
This past 4th of July has been a rough one on my dogs.  Especially House.  The holiday celebration started in my town last Saturday and hasn’t stopped since.  
House is very independent.  He sleeps alone (meaning he doesn’t want to cuddle with either of us) and has no problem entertaining himself.  However, all of the noise from the firecrackers has changed his mood (and appetite) a bit.  When the sun goes down he runs to the nearest human.  He knows that it’s time for the loud noises outside.
We are hoping that the last firecracker has already been lit.  The only thing that works is to cut our work day short so that we can get home to turn the tv on and the volume up before anything starts.  
Until the next photo…

My Life With Dogs: The Football

For Disco’s Birthday we got him a new football.  Clearly you can see that his current one has seen better days.  While working in the yard today I observed him collecting both of them and moving them around from place to place.  I don’t have the heart to throw away the old one.
He his happy with both so that’s all that matters.
Until the next word…
