This is Izzy.
Probably short for Isabel, but she was named by my 5 year old Grandson...
There is nothing quite as wonderful as a curious puppy, and the puppy smell - there is nothing quite so calming and peaceful.
My business is weddings and portraits, but I so rarely get to practice on the very cutest subjects, puppys.
On another subject, Mindy and I have joined a volunteer organization of professional photographers called "Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep", whose purpose is to provide photographic services to families who have lost a baby. This tragedy happens from time to time, and families are usually so stricken with greif that the idea of photography is not on their mind.
Later on, the family has nothing to remember this life, that was lost before it even had a chance to begin. A mother develops a bond and love for the baby before it is born, and what we provide is a remembrance of what is good and wonderful about the time that they did have.
Yes, it's hard. The enormity of the loss hits home every time. The family may not want photos until years later, but they exist, done in a careful and loving way. It is what we can do.
For more information, the organization's web site is www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org.
