Meet Bailey, whose owner hired me to do portraits of her.  We began the shoot outside but as it was in the 90s and Bailey was panting and not wanting to be out, we moved the shoot inside.  She has the roam of the house and this bed is one of her favorite spots.  She looks out the window and watches squirrels.  Bailey had so many expressions and was a little ball of energy – a joy to work with.

If you are wondering, the owner wanted her collar to stay one.  She has an electric fence, which keeps her maintained and safe in the back yard.  As we were in and out, it was too much of a risk to take it off.  I did some editing to remove the collar in other images, but I didn’t care for how it changed the texture of the hair on her chest.  A Photoshop expert I am not…

It was a rainy day, on the biggest shopping street in Amsterdam.
It was a rainy day and we were really hungry when it was time for lunch.
It was a rainy day when we entered in a really nice, light and sophisticated restaurant…
It was a rainy day but people didn’t care and continued to spend great time.
it was a rainy day and I watched these people who were walking on the street, opened an umbrella, ride a bike, who were speaking, who were buying everything they wanted…
And I was eating and it was so pleasant to see the street change through the time.

(Equally as stunning in color on Visual Venturing.) The perks of accompanying my husband on a recent business trip to New York City: staying in a Manhattan hotel with this amazing lobby. Sitting on the opposite side waiting for our names to be called for lunch in the hotel restaurant, I just had to take a picture — as much for the stunning mirrored architecture as for the two suited gentlemen busy on their respective electronic devices.
