Pet Portrait Party and such...

This past weekend I was hired to do several pet portraits at the home of Amanda and Michael Zimmerman.  I met this sweet couple and their precious dog Lucy during pet portraits at the Dawg House Grooming & Gifts last Christmas, so now I finally had the opportunity to meet and photograph their 3 adorable cats as well!

We also had Jay and Bear:

And Molly, who was celebrating her 1st birthday!

Shown here with her scrumptious Z-Dog muffin...

Molly did eventually devour her muffin and treats...she was just a little freaked out at first!

See, here's one:

Here are some other pix from the day:

Z-Dog treats are a great bribe... ALWAYS! 

 Helping Michael focus...

lots of tuna and catnip brought out colorful personalities

 

That was seriously a fun day so thank you Zimmerman's!

So after the pet portraits I went to meet Jon at Gresham MotorSports, where he was announcing for a BMX show.  Thought I was gonna be completely bored but ended up having nice time since we were in the pit with the race cars and goings on.  I just entertained myself by watching people and taking pix.

Absolutely ADORABLE kid...

Cute Dogs - 

I was disappointed I didn't bring Rudee, but I was worried about her little eardrums...

was I being silly?

 Funny hangy down legs

I'm not exactly sure what kind of bushes these are...but they make a constant, bubbly like noise if you really listen.  They really do!
