Well, today's post is about my life from my sofa while I'm off my foot for a couple weeks after Achilles Tendon surgery. 
I've had a couple of friends come by.....
I got some flowers....
I have plenty of dark chocolate...
And my pets are always nearby...

Life is good...even from my sofa! 

Happy Wordless Wednesday!

Photo Tip Friday: Tips for Taking Pet Portraits, Part 1

by Mary Denman

Welcome back to photo tip Friday. I'm excited to talk about how to take pet portraits. Next week will be all about action shots with your active pets! 

How do you take pet portraits?

One of the first suggestions I'll make is to get down on their level. Or take the photos when they are elevated to your level. 

Why?

You don't only see your pets from above. You cuddle with them. You hold them. 

So if you get at eye level with them for photos, it's much more intimate. 


Let's look at some other suggestions.
