We decided on Thursday to extend Sweetie’s stay through Monday to help his mom with other items on the “to do” list. I came home yesterday. Good thing Sweetie stayed behind. While I was on layover in SFO, father-in-law slipped away. Sweetie’s mom and he had ten years together and he took her to every part of the globe. He adored her, and she him. She looked after him always, and was an unwavering caregiver to the very end.

More from my shoot with Mariya and Sierra.
Some of you have already met Mariya from previous shoots. Today she, and her friend, Sierra, came over to do some studio work. Here are a few from today’s session. I’m still working through them, so I will be posting more soon.
I had the honor of doing a very special shoot yesterday. Katie is my co-worker and friend. Her mom. Cathy, has cancer. Today was a good day. This week was a good week. We took advantage. We had fun. Aren’t they gorgeous?
More to come, even some from the chaotic pet shoot afterward. Hint, what happens when you mix four canines and three women (one of whom fancies herself a photographer?
