Caring for another creature has improved my life. Our dog, Freya, was born nearly seventeen months ago and she has taught our children responsibility and nurturing. Freya brightens their day when she greets them at the door with her favorite toy. Get a pet you won’t regret it!
Giant carpenter bees buzzed by my head as I tried to steal a shot. My heart raced every time one of them flew near my ear. Luckily, Debbie’s wisteria plants had plenty of blossoms to keep them occupied.
On a side note, does anyone have a good solution for seasonal allergies?
Please make a vaccine for allergies.

Benjamin “Benny” my parent’s golden retriever is one-year-old now. He is still digging holes and eating things he shouldn’t. Everyone he meets falls in love with him, and he loves the attention.
The young woman in this set is my cousin, Melanie House, and she recently found out she has breast cancer. She just had chemotherapy and got herself a new wig. My wife helped her with makeup for this photo shoot.
Update 2017: Melanie is in remission, cancer free, and happy to be alive!
1. You are to shoot a portrait of a friend or family member that explains and/or highlights an aspect of their personality that you find interesting. This can be shown via a prop, clothing, facial expression, surroundings, lighting, posing, or any other way you can creatively pull it off.
2. You are also to shoot a portrait of a pet or animal (wild or domestic, your choice, but be safe). The portrait should tell about the animal through imagery rather than just showing the animal. (I.E. including some surroundings or a food source could tell you about a wild animal’s habits)
Lighting for the human must be artificial. It is a major part of your grade for this assignment, so make sure it’s well-executed and done on purpose. Also, don’t do anything with your lights that will spook a dangerous animal (I.E. using flash bulbs close to a horse. . . seriously.)
This assignment is for Digital Photography course (ART 2060) at Dixie State University in St. George, Utah taught by Alex Chamberlain in the Fall of 2015.
