Another cloudy day with a cute family.....
I couldn't believe my luck....two cloudy days in a row! I was so happy to get the chance to take these pictures. I took the mom's maternity pictures back in January and can't believe how big her little boy is already!! I've been so fortunate to have the hook-ups from a very good friend of mine who is spreading my name like wildfire. That is how I found this adorable family. And isn't the little guy just the cutest? He looks so much older than 3 1/2 months!!! It's gotta be all that hair! I tell ya, everyone's having baby boys!! Gotta say though, I luv 'em!! I can't wait for my marketing friend to have hers!!
I'm learning that it's hard to feel totally prepared for every photo shoot. I struggled with this one a bit, not feeling as creative as usual. Evan couldn't sit up and I just had a hard time figuring out how to position him. But in the end, I definitely had some faves from this session, some that I used in my PB Gallery on my website.
Speaking of my website, I'd LOVE some feedback from you. My photography website is www.audreylitfin.com. I just revamped it for about the hundredth time and I'd love to know what you think of it, is it user-friendly? I'm having a college web building class do a focus session on my website and am excited to here how I can improve! I can never settle on a logo but this one seems to fit better and it's a lot more simple. Maybe this one will actually stick for a few months! :)
RUDY UPDATE: For anyone that remembers me talking about Rudy being attacked by our other dog, Cody....I wanted to update you. I couldn't figure it out for the longest time. We still keep them seperated when we're not home but when we are home, they are best buddies. About two months ago, I noticed that Rudy started coughing. I called my vet (who I used to work for in high school) and she got me some antibiotics for kennel cough. A week later, he was still coughing so I called her back and she got me some strong medication. Still didn't go away so she put him on a general stronger antiobitic which still didn't work. Her next idea was to try an airway opener (medication in case he had a constriction in his airways) which didn't work. So we were into the 5th week. She asked me to take him off the medication and quit running him daily to see if he lungs just needed to heal. Still nothing so she put him on an antihistamine in case he had allergies. Still nothing. So next, we did a heartworm test and did xrays. She didn't see anything strange. She thought she could hear a slight heart murmur. Now, he's been on heart medication for a few weeks. The coughing seems to have slowed but he still has his moments. It's not really a cough but more of a snorting sound, like he trying to snort in some air. It's horribly scary to watch him go through it. I think our next option is we're taking him to a vet hospital specialist to get some answers. It's just time.
But back to the fighting. It all makes sense now. When we're home, we're the pack leaders. But when we leave, Cody naturally becomes the dominant one and because Rudy is sickly, Cody's instinct is survival of the fittest. So as long as Rudy has these problems, we will have to continue to seperate them when we're gone. Aside from the coughing, Rudy doesn't seem to be lacking much energy though he's always been on the lazy side. I just hope that we can get his coughing figured out completely.
Thanks for stopping by......
