I must admit, we spend as much time as we can outside.  And with the new doggie addition to our home last spring, our dog Bella keeps up that promise of getting us the fresh air we need.  Bella and I love to go to the Lake County dog park here in Wauconda.  It's a great place for a dog to run, play and socialize with others.  Plus, it's great exercise for me, too.  I issued a birthday gift certificate recently for a mini session at the dog park.  So, off to the dog park with my sports action lens in tow.  I really enjoy a moving target!  Gracie was a perfect subject and let me capture this image of her for her owner, Holly.  Happy Birthday, Holly!  Hope this is the icing on the cake!

Looks like we are having another mild winter here in the Midwest.  We took advantage of one of the "warmer" days to do a quick session outside.  Paige is home from college and we snuck in a few shots of her before going back.  Her sister joined in, too.  Now their mom can update the photos around the house and at the office.  Thanks much, Stacey....and if anyone needs a great financial advisor, she can be found at Edward Jones in Wauconda, IL!
