I Think It's Magic
Not always but sometimes we have a dress rehearsal before the photoshoot and I will snap a quick photo. I thought to end the year and for our final Frenchie Friday of 2022, I’d share those photos of our dress rehearsals with the links attached to the final results to you can go back and review them.
This was something I had wanted to do for Mia as so many of those dress rehearsal shots were so silly and great by themselves. Perhaps, it’s something I will still do if I can find the spare time. TBC.
We only started doing photoshoots with Bridget around the end of Summer in 2021. I was not sure just how photogenic she was going to be or if doing shoots as Mia did were going to be her thing. It turns out she’s actually quite the model. She nails that kill-shot in a minimal amount of frames. Each time I am always so surprised and impressed with her level of chill and professionalism. Creating our sets and coming up with clever titles and themes has become such a fun hobby for me. It was always special one-on-one time with Mia. And now it’s special time with Bridget. Our friends think it was simply meant to be.
I think it’s magic.
Merry KISSmas!

Little Miss Spoiled Rotten
I recently took advantage of Chewy.com’s Buy 3, Get a 4th FREE sale (here) and got all of BB’s toy photo shoot props for our Christmas-theme, next month. While I was shopping I decided to get toys for Mongo our Doberman/Lab and our two kitties, Maggie and Evey. A few days later two large boxes arrive and I gleefully open them up with Mongo and Bridget standing by with equal excitement. I pulled out Mongo’s big boy toys, cut the tags off, give them to him and he walks off with them to his bed. Then I grab the kitties’ new goodies and bring theirs to them where they were snoozin’ in different rooms of our house. They quizzically accepted my unexpected offerings. All the while Bridget is following me around with a bounce in her step. We return to the Chewy boxes and she looks up at me like “and what did I get?” I sifted through all the contents to realize all of BB’s toys were for upcoming shoots. I said “everything in this box is yours BUT you’ll have to wait before getting to play with them. I’m so sorry." She looked up at me with confusion and her sad puppy dog eyes which made me feel like a jerk, I considered giving her just ONE of the items. But then I looked over at her corner of toys and my feeling sorry for her quickly evaporated and I said, “girl, look at all those toys.” She followed me over while I picked out and gave her a few toys I have yet to see her really play with. She happily skipped away with her rollerskate in tow. I laughed out loud about the whole interaction and thought this would be a perfect time for her Little Miss Spoiled tee shoot we had yet to plan. Between all of Mia’s paw-me-downs and photo shoot props, the girl has accumulated quite the stash. Never mind, she has a basket of toys in my office and another under a desk in our living room. Annnd all the others, still packed up and waiting to be used for props. It’s me hi, I’m the problem.
