Cows | Reedley, CA

I think these guys are kinda cute.  Scared to death of me, but not my car.  What?!  I guess they’re used to large vehicles driving past but not things that walk on two legs.  Either way, I wanted to share what I did today.  And this is it…

Growing up in a farm town I would run back and forth to my best friends house through the fruit trees. We had a blast as children and I’m thankful that she’s still apart of my life even now. Today I took pictures of my childhood bff’s retired German Shepherd. Jazz worked as a search and rescue dog  so he was very well behaved. It was a fun shoot and we got some great shots of this huge dog!

Years ago Derek and Amy met at Hume Lake Christian Camps.  Over the years they’ve both worked at Hume, left Hume, and returned to Hume.  If memory serves me correctly, they got married in the Fall of 2003.  Their son came along just two years ago and he’s been a ball of energy since day one.  They are absolutely wonderful and I was so happy to be able to take their pictures for them.

A nice woman came over to help us get some pictures with Hudson looking at the camera and smiling.  I didn’t see this, but she put her Chihuahua over my head and made it dance.  Glad I didn’t look up!  But, we got some great pictures and the dancing dog worked!  Hudson sat still and all three of them laughed and enjoyed the show for a minute.

Derek and Amy are pretty wonderful… so is Hudson.  Enjoy…
