Fine Art Wedding Photography: Redheads, Natural Light, and Barbet
Thursday, January 13th, 2011This shoot was a synergy of the most creative Indianapolis Wedding Professionals. It started with Emilliner handmade wedding veils, fascinators, and pieces of hair art. From there, Kat, a stylist, makeup artist, and creative soul put together some soft, natural wedding makeup and attire. Philip Salmon then coiffed the hair into a romantic wavy look.
The fall/winter light streamed through the windows and some of my favorite work to date was formed. It is an evolution of my craft and marks the beginning of many great changes in my art and life.

Dog days of summer: Barbet (french water dogs) on film
Friday, July 30th, 2010It’s summer time yet again and the dogs and I are loving it. Frisbees are flying, the garden is growing, and gelato is being made weekly. While we are cooking out, I often snap a couple shots of our Barbet (french water dogs) basking in the summer sunset glow. All of these photos were taken with my Contax 645, a 120/220 film camera. I’ll have a longer post on that subject soon.
Hello Barbet Isis imported from Canada 2009
Meet Cinna the Barbet (French Water Dog) imported from France in 2007
Bonjour Barbet Cleo, isis’s sister, also imported from Canada in 2009

Barbet and Portuguese Water Dog: Indiana Dog Photography
Tuesday, April 27th, 2010What you may not know about me– especially if you are a new client or haven’t been over to my house, is that I am a HUGE dog lover. On our 11 acre wooded bliss near Brown County/Nashville, Indiana we have 6 dogs which ironically one, Belle, came with the house. At Clemson, I obtained Lola, a 7 pound spit fire of a chihuahua. Then I met Walter’s dog, a Barbet which is a French Water Dog and fell in love. You can learn all about them at American Barbet.
We had our first litter of Barbet puppies in 2007 which spurred me on to get one from France in 2008 then we had another litter in 2009. From that I kept one, Amelia (or Lia) for short, got two from Canada, and rescued another.
One of our Barbet, Dynastie (aka Dyna) we gave to my sister in law in the DC area. While my sister in law took the kids on spring break, I came out and babysit Dyna. Two houses down lives Prince, a peppy Portuguese Water dog. Dyna and Prince have become best of friends and they both love to hop in and out of Nancy’s little pond.
Here are some photos of the dynamic water dog duo having a blast in Nancy’s gorgeous backyard.

Alexandria Photography: Cherry Blossoms and Barbet
Thursday, April 22nd, 2010It’s that time of year when our cars turn yellow saturated in pollen and bright pink buds are pushing through the ground after a pale cold winter. Somehow I’ve lucked out to be in the Washington DC area at time of year. After seeing the blooms and energy of DC, I hope I can make this an annual adventure.
The cherry blossoms are downright stunning. They are intoxicating with their delicate flowers and all the more magical when their petals fall around the National Mall’s tidal basin. Vibrant pink, oranges, and green line the grounds of the National Mall making for a stunning photograph setting. No wonder millions of people flock to DC at this time.
Besides being in a beauty drunken stupor, I baby sat Barbet Dyna, a french water dog, who now lives with my sister in law in DC. She and I took many a walks as well as shared goat cheese while watching the sunset glow from Nancy’s gorgeous living room.
P.S. Happy Earth Day– Live every day like it’s earth day, though and recycle, reuse, buy less junk, etc
Cherry Blossoms at 7 am– not bad, eh?
Barbet Lola– One of the two I dog sat while in Alexandria. She was one of the FIRST barbet in America!
King Street in Alexandria– The best Dog watching around!

Italy Barbet Pet Photography | Barbet in Cinque Terre
Thursday, December 10th, 2009While in Italy, my husband met me in Florence to start our belated honeymoon. We chose to wait a year as we were wed in Guatemala on Nov 1, 2009 and after that trip and the holidays we were exhausted. While in Italy, we headed to the northwestern part of La Spezia and Cinque Terre which is known as the Italian Rivera. Besides wanting to hike between the villages of Cinque Terre, we were there to visit a Barbet breeder (and now friend) Ezia. Ezia is responsible for my male, Cinna who I got in France over 2 years ago. She has several beautiful Barbet and is working hard to preserve the old Barbet bloodlines. Not only is she a great breeder, Ezia is a amazing groomer with the most muscular arms I have ever seen. She taught me some tips and techniques to manage my pack of Barbet in America.
If you do not know what Barbet are that is quite ok as there are around 1100 in the world and around 50 in The United States of America. They are French Water Dogs and said to be the ancestor of the Briar and Bichon, and close cousins with the Poodle, Portuguese Water Dog and Spanish Water Dog. Besides photography, Barbet are my passion. My sister-in-law brought one back almost 10 years ago and ever since then I’ve been in love and used my design abilities to make a website to promote the Barbet. Now I am the President of the Barbet Fanciers Club of America and am working diligently for full recognition for the Barbet in the AKC. You can read more about Barbet at www.americanbarbet.com or at www.barbetfanciers.com
