MY HEART MELTS WHEN I SEE YOUR PUPS..I HAVE TWO FRENCH BULLDOGS..YOU CAN TELL THEY ARE COUSINS. BUT,,How in the heck do you get such a lovely bokeh,,,I have tried and tried..there must be a secret..I have a Nikon D80..
Merry Christmas
I just wanna give those pooches a big smoooooch
Merry Christmas to you guys too! Mile and Howie are adorable as ever! My husband was just arguing with me that they did not fall asleep like that and that Miley did not put his arm around Howie like that! LOL I said yes he did and that just cuz our BT’s don’t sleep together like that doesn’t mean others don’t.
Same to you & yours! this photo is absolutely adorable
What a great photo! I’m trying to master the art of getting the lights in the background of a photo to look like that.
LOVE this photo! It just wouldn’t be the same with any other breed!!
Merry Christmas to you, Kevin and the kids :). Thanks for sharing a part of your life with us.
Merry Christmas to you and your family Amanda.
That is such a precious picture! Did Miley actually put her paw around Howie? Merry Christmas to you!!
Merry Christmas Amanda. I have a Christmas wish this year for my wonderful Daughter-In-Lay, Katie Emerson Renz. Katie has been diagnosed with gastric cancer, she is 39, wife and mother of three small children. Will & Nate 5 and Hunter 11. She was admitted to the hospital on Christmas eve and will be there until tomorrow. Family in the area and friends helped make their children a wonderful Christmas but with out their mother at home. She is a blogger like you and so many others, please include Katie & her family in your positive thoughts and prayers. The doctors are giving her no cure only treatment for the remainder of her life. Please read her blog. Thank you Elizabet Rhyneer

Hello,
I am a new follower here and I am enjoyig your blog.Especailly the photography parts. I have a question I have just bought my first canon dslr. I am loving everything bokeh and while I have been practising this, I would love to know how you get a subject so clear and the bokeh looking great like you have with the photo of the dogs.
thanks
Janine
Merry Christmas to you and your family. I just love the picture of Miley and Howie, we have been trying to figure out how to get our 3 Bostons to lay by the tree and sleep, almost impossible, by the time they are sleeping, we are exhausted! LOL. We will keep trying.
Your blog really inspires me to try out photography… what do you suggest is a good camera to start out with?
Oh my gosh! What a perfect picture of your precious kiddos ;)
Hope y’all had an awesome holiday!
Oh my goodness! They are sooooo CUTE! What a great photo!! Hope you had a great Christmas!! :)
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these pictures!!! I tried my best to capture one of my son, but he doesn’t pose as well as your boys!!! I went and purchased the 50mm lens just because of these pics you posted last year. I LOVE your photography. I am studying photography myself and am a BIG fan of yours. Hopefully, my next lens purchase will be the 24-70mm. I learn so much from you. Thanks for sharing.
P.S. WAR EAGLE!!!!!!!!!!
Belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all! :)
Thank you for the smiles! I just discovered your blog yesterday through a friend and I love it. Two Boston Terriers own me, so I know… the joy, laughter, and love.
