After almost 2 months of a hiatus, believe you me, I\u2019ve got photos to share! And since this place is focused on portraits (and more so, PET portraits), let\u2019s start there \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Several (several!) weeks ago, I was up in Duluth on my way to some fun family festivities. While there I was asked to take some photos of the second newest dog to the family. <em>Now, not to get too sidetracked, but our family is filled with a bunch of animal lovers. I did the math the other day and there are 7 of us people and between us 7, we have 7 cats, 6 dogs and 2 horses. That totals 15 animals. To 7 people. Hmm, I may have just sealed the deal on us being Crazy Cat Ladies\u2026 Meh \u2013 not too far from the truth. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Anyways, this new dog is a truck driving dog. And his name is Tai, which is short for MaiTai. He is a beautiful and young and spunky black lab. But really, what a great name for a pooch: MaiTai. It strikes me as a similar situation to me wanting to name my kitties Charles and Shaw. But that\u2019s a different story. <\/p>\n<p>Pat and Caren: these photos have only scratched the surface of the fun things I want to do! I\u2019m excited to work with him more next time we meet up.
