Shooting in the country with Lisa

First of all, let me introduce Lisa! Lisa is a super-sweet girl that I’ve had the privilege to become friends with since I’ve lived in Wichita. She also happens to be an incredible photographer herself! She even made ME look good when I took my turn in front of the camera! After some scouting, we settled in for a while at a random shed on my dad’s property. The shed is one of the same places that I photographed back in college. This place needs no staging; so many random walls and areas were just perfect as is! For instance, the old machinery belt thing on the wall behind Lisa here? It was just there. How does that even happen?? Add a little bit of light and we were in business.

We wanted to end the day in one of these canola fields, but we were really sad that we didn’t have strong enough sunlight for a glowy backlit look. Wanna know why? It was SO windy that day that the dust in the atmosphere made the sky hazy! Yes, we’re the kind of crazies that think it’s a good idea to go shooting in the country on the windiest day of the year.

Happy Birthday Baxter!

I can’t believe it’s been six years. Where does the time go? Six years since that beat-up 1980′s station wagon with wood panel siding pulled up in my college apartment parking lot.

The grizzly man had a backseat full of puppies, just crawling around in there. He made me pay $200 cash for the little brown ball of fur. I say he “made” me, because as soon as I picked up that tiny, fuzzy creature, I didn’t really have a choice.

Baxter’s had his share of awkward phases over the years. Some say he’s just an awkward dog. I’ll let you be the judge.

I wish I had more photos of Baxter as a puppy, but all I have are a couple of shots taken with an old-point-and-shoot film camera. He was a tiny little thing, yet he thought he was tough enough to carry around people’s shoes. See how tiny?!

After “cute puppy phase” comes the “awkward teenager phase”….

And then the time I though it’d be a good idea to shave him. Which obviously didn’t work out so well for either of us.

Followed by the time he tried escaping by jumping off the balcony. Yup; that’s a cast.
