Sailor & Coco






Meet Sailor(black) and Coco (um, the coco color one :) they're Portuguese Water Dogs. I didn't realize until this shoot, that they come in such different coats and looks. Long bangs vs trimmed.
After weeks of rain, we totally lucked out on this afternoon when the sun peaked out behind the clouds and the early day rain went away. The rest of the week, you guessed it, rain! Not that these two would have minded.

Speaking of dogs- I'll be selling my photography/PIXessories in Madison!
I was also interviewed by the Cap Times for this show. Neat!

This Friday, May 3rd, gallery in Madison at bad dog frida! 5-9pm.

Rocket Baby Bakery - Happy Birthday, Baby!













Delicious! Yum! Addictive! Just a few words to describe my friend's Shannon & Geoff's   artisan breads, pastries, coffee, and sandwiches.

You may have been in or have read about this fine place over the past year. They have received amazing press (for obvious reasons). Savory to sweet- they got ya covered. One of my favorites is the Breakfast in a Muffin.

 It's been fun to watch them grow over the last year. Not so fun to watch my waistline grow! ;)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RBB!

"In Your face"

                          finished piece with words


 I've been invited to be in an art show  "In Your Face." I thought, I best get going on my self portraits this past weekend,  since the show's in June!  I  started to monkey around  with one of these images. Time flew by while creating my art piece.  I LOVE how art works that way. 
Also, it's good to get in front of the camera, from time to time, to get a better understanding of how my subjects feel.

It's such an honor to be asked to be in a show of talented and diverse group of artists.

June 14th-July 18th @ the Art Bar- Put on by the Martini Girls

 This is a really powerful video by Dove. It just goes to show how women are so hard on themselves.
