WOW, the colors in the 1st picture is really amazing and adds a lot of mood.
The compo of the 2nd is great. It makes the picture.December 22, 2008 – 3:15 pm
Thanks Kurt. It’s not the type of place that reveals itself immediately as would a mountain range or ocean view. It requires the observer to get out of the car and put themselves in the landscape. That’s when the beauty is revealed. Almost like a secret.December 22, 2008 – 9:37 pm
Hello!
My name is Sarah Graham and I work for the Arbor Day Foundation in Lincoln, NE. I am currently looking for photos of Blackwater River State Forest to feature on a web page we’re building that focuses on our replating efforts there. I was hoping you’d be willing to donate any of your photos for use on this site. You would of course be credited however you wish. We could even add a link under the photo(s) back to your web page.
If you could get back to me as soon as possible, I would really appreciate it. We’re working on copy for the site today and hope submit all photography to the project manager today.
My e-mail is: sgraham@arborday.org or you can call me at 402.474.5655 x.292.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you!
Warm regards, Sarah GrahamMarch 10, 2009 – 9:04 am

Every photo assignment has it’s challenges. Recently while shooting some images to illustrate an article on pet nutrition (photographing foods you shouldn’t feed your pet), I was assisted by one of my cats. Of course, her idea of assisting is to drink the props. She is in front of the monitor right now as I...

I just received my comp copies of Dog World Magazine’s February 2009 issue. For the issue, I was asked to write an article on photographing pets with digital point and shoot cameras. It was a great exercise for me to write the article as my clients are always asking me how they can achieve better...

It comes bundled with two other magazines and a book on Doggy Daycare. All the photos in the calendar are LMEimages puppy photos! For any clients whose...

Laurie, The new blog looks fantastic! I’m hoping I’ll see a few of my pups up here soon. I know you’re working on them.December 9, 2008 – 9:29 pm
Thanks Linda! I’ll see what I can do about getting some photos of your adorable dogs up here in the next week or two!December 15, 2008 – 9:36 pm
Hi Laurie- Love the new blog! I was so happy to see my little Otis made the calendar. He’s my own little Mr. February! I look forward to reading all your future posts. Autumn and OtisDecember 16, 2008 – 8:58 pm
Thanks Autumn and thanks for stopping by!! Did you see Otis in the slide show header too? He is such a cutie! I was hoping to get some extra copies of the calendar from the editor so I could send you one. Unfortunately, I only have two copies myself. She’s checking to see if she can find some more to send. Let me know if you want to buy a copy and I’ll let you know where to find it.
For anyone else reading this, Otis is the adorable English Bulldog puppy (Mr. February) in the calendar and is also featured on the blog header slide show. You can’t miss him up there! He is one of the sweetest pups I’ve ever had the honor of shooting.
Give Otis a hug for me!December 16, 2008 – 9:26 pm
I’m still working on getting my blog up to date. Check back often as I’ll be filling in the gaps over the next week or two……. Laurie
