When Adam and I went on our cruise...we loved coming to our cabin at the end of the night to our beds turned down with a piece of mint on our pillows and a different "Towel Animal" on our beds, couldn't wait to see what animal would await us that evening. So I learned how to make some...I now know how to make Monkeys, Elephants, and a dog. Look at Jewels she is such a little model. She was made to be a TV Dog or model or something, she is so cooperative.

Here is my "Towel Dog" 

 This is one of my favorite photos...my Chihuahua, Jewels, always lays between the stuffed lions paws...if my lap is not available. So one day I ran up and got my camera and captured this warm fuzzy image. What I really love about this is how the tilt of the Lion's head onto Jewels' head, actually makes it look like he is cuddling a baby cub. After all the excitement, she went back to sleep : )

These Images were taken in Leavenworth, Wa. I couldn't decide on just one for Image of the week...so I chose my 4 favorite! 

I thought it would be a nice idea...to start an "Image of the Week" here on my blog. I will begin with the image below...Let me know what you think...I would love to hear your thoughts.

Mt. Rainier ~ taken in August of 2009

Danyel Spent the night with me and we spent the morning together and then I decided to curl her hair, she loved it and  said she looked like a princess and that her hair was bouncy, she was so happy, and couldn't wait to show her parents...so I was worried that the curls would go away before they came to pick her up so I decided to surprise Daniel and Kasandra and take her 3 year old portraits. When they came to get her they loved how she looked and thought she looked Beautiful. My Glama Girl Truly is Breathtaking...she is my best model to date!

As posted earlier...we will be moving on February 15, 2009. So I have started packing today. In the past most of my photography clients have been from the Enumclaw area...So now I am going to be concentrating on widening out to the Covington / Maple Valley / Kent areas. As well as still taking care of my Enumclaw clients. I will keep you posted on any new happenings in my business and personal life.

Well, I have a few Family portrait sessions lined up for the next couple of weeks...And Matt From Doggy Snooze, contacted me again and would like to use me again, this time for his other line "Doggy Ride" so we will have that Product photo shoot next week. He is putting together a 360 degree shot of this product for his website, so I am going to shoot the same product at 72 different angles to get the effect that he is looking for. Should be interesting. Well I will keep everyone informed on any new upcoming events.~Leticia 

Well, there isn't a whole lot to report...just reading my Anatomy Book and filling Orders of large prints for a couple of my clients. I have a wedding coming up on the 25th of this month...It should be really beautiful. Adam has taken a secular job away from home, he has been doing that for about a month or so...I am not used to that yet, he was always here working from home. So he goes to his daytime job, then comes home and works on his own business at nighttime.

My Daughter-in-law and my Glama Girls are out of state visiting their great grandma...I already miss them. I do hope they are having fun though. They will be gone for 10 days, they left yesterday on Tuesday. I promised Danyel she could stay with me for a couple of days when she gets back...she has really wanted to be around me alot lately. Well, I can't wait for them to get back.

I will write more, when there is something for me to write about. Til then...take care~Leticia

Hi everyone...Today I am in the process of uploading all of the Family Portraits that I took for the King Family into the Client Login, I received an e-mail from Diane last night saying that she is ready to order prints now...So I am uploading 160 images, 80 in Black and white and 80 color images...she expressed an interest in B&W when I dropped off her DVD so I thought I would make all the color images in B&W as well for her to be able to decide which ones she would like in color and which ones she prefers in B&W. Then I will email her with her username and password to be able to view and add to her cart from my client login menu on my website. I will talk to yall later~Leticia

Today I will be focusing on Stock Photography a bit...I haven't submitted anything to Fotolia or BigStock in awhile (atleast a couple of months) But the beauty of it is that even when I am not working on Stock photography...it is still working for me. Everyday I seem to sell a few pics. on there and make money. Most sales come from out of the country...So while I sleep I make money  Awesome! But the more I submit the more chances of making more money I have. So now that I have a few photo shoots out of the way...I can concentrate on Stock a bit and I have to Do some school (Medical Transcribing) I am so close to being finished with it...just 4 more exams, but I am procrastinating...because Photography is my true love. And Medical Transcribing was just going to be a supplement income on the slow months of photography. But Even on the slow months there is still Stock that is never really slow.

Okay, well enough babbling....

p.s let me share a few photos of my "Secret Garden" yard, I feel like I live in paradise already...It is absolutely beautiful here. there are like 7 pathways through the flower garden, my goal is to have a sitting area at the end of each trail or pathway...however, some paths don't have an end some lead to another pathway...but I would like to have a nice sitting, reading, drinking a refreshment area at the end of any trails.

Here are the Photos of The DoggySnooze Orthopedic Photo Shoot ...Sadie really loved the bed, she seemed to have preferred the Green one, she seemed to relax and get really comfy and really did "Snooze" on that one, she didn't want to get off when the shoot was over.

Well...the photo shoot went great, took close to 150 images. I am still in the "Editing" stages, I will post them as soon as I get a chance. Til then take care all~Leticia

Got an email from a gentleman that was looking for a photographer with a studio, and whom also had a dog for the photo shoot, because he is in the business of Orthopedic Dog Beds, So I let him know that I had both a studio and a dog...in fact I have 4 dogs that don't mind being photographed, pointed him to my "Pets and Their Humans" gallery on my website.  He e-mailed back and said that he would like to proceed with me, and would definately be interested in Sadie our Black Lab. And that Jewels (chihuahua) and Otto (dachsund) could possibly be on a bed together.  So anyway the photo shoot is set up for Monday evening the 12th of this month. That should be a fun photo shoot, I'm looking forward to it.

Looks like I may have  another gig coming up on October 17, 2008 an outdoors Wedding. I'll try to Keep you informed on other jobs that I get. I have got to make time to blog more often.  Let's see what else, I just recently bought some new software called Camera Control Pro...It allows me to have my camera hooked up to my laptop as I am doing portrait work...the shots that I am taking will  pop up on my laptop immediately for the client to see,  and I dont have to constantly run over to them to show them  on the tiny LCD screen of the camera,  So this is gonna save me time and the  client always wonders how the shots are coming out, so now they will see, what I see. I am pretty excited about it.

Well I will write more later,

Leticia
