Sam & JD

Sam & JD came by yesterday, along with their people, to have their first "official" photo session. Handsome little guys, aren't they?! We had fun with lots of toys (I secretly think "dad" enjoys the toys almost as much as the kitties...). I have to say that I believe they might just be the easiest cats I've ever photographed. Here's a peek from Same & JD's session...

Doggone it!!!

Happy New Year Everyone!!! Here's a good laugh to start off 2009. So, somebody forgot to take out the trash today before she left to shoot for 4-5 hours. Not a good thing when you have a pack of Dachshunds guarding the joint. When I got home & opened my front door, the image below is what greeted me.

Upon questioning, Gwen vehemently denied any knowledge of my trash-strewn kitchen. Given the evidence (see image) however, I'm afraid her alibi is questionable... I suppose the other dogs could have framed her...

We're Published this Month!

Have you had a chance to look through the Murray Life Magazine this month? We're there! I'm thrilled and wanted to share with you! The image below (that's Leo from Mayfield) is featured in this month's edition in an article by the Humane Society of Calloway County.

The article discusses the gifting of pets and why it isn't always advisable. It's an interesting, very informative read. I strongly encourage everyone to view the article AND share it with someone who's considering giving a pet as a gift!

Congratulations, Leo, you're famous!!!

Reid's Family Pets

I was asked to shoot little Reid's 1st birthday party this Saturday. We got lots of wonderful pictures of the little guy and his family (check out the CSP blog to see a sampling of those). Of course, I couldn't over look the family pets! These guys were hanging out at the party, too!

Her Guardian Angel

Elizabeth is a hurricane refugee from Florida. "Angel" is the tiny kitten that Elizabeth rescued about a month ago - she was found in a parking lot under the wheel of a car. Miraculously the kitten survived her injuries. Elizabeth said they both needed a friend - a Guardian Angel.

And the winner is.....

Congratulations to the Tudor family!!! They are our winner's this year from the Holiday Bazaar Portrait Event hosted by the Humane Society of Calloway County! The Tudor's will receive a mounted 11x14 portrait from their session, donated by Cypress Springs Photography AND they will also receive a $75 gift certificate from The Gallery of Murray to use towards framing their beautiful print! What a beautiful young family they are - again Congratulations!

Third Time - Charming!!!

We've had a wonderful time photographing bunches of pets (and their people) this year for the Humane Society of Calloway County's Holiday Portraits. Today we wrapped up shooting for this year's fundraiser and are just thrilled to have raised over $500 to help support the Humane Society's programs! I am honored to have been able to provide the portraiture again this year! On behalf of the Humane Society of Calloway County and Cypress Springs Photography, "THANK YOU!!!" to each and every one who came out to have portraits made. Special thanks, also, to all of the volunteers who helped - it wouldn't be possible with out you!

Here's a peek at just some of the charming and oh so adorable "clients" we photographed today. Meet Jed and Angel...
