I did a shoot recently of two Weimaraners. These guys are a photographer’s dream — all cheekbones and legs. Take a look.
Weimaraners are high fashion models
… Except when they’re being totally goofy…
And then they get all dignified again.
Online dating success begins with a great photo
February 4, 2011 By Leave a Comment
It’s a shame to say, but most people who use online dating services only stop to read personal information about someone if they like what they see in the photo. So it’s crucial to post a photo that shows you at your very best.
Beth Madison Photography is offering a very special Valentine’s Day promotion to all our friends who are in-between sweethearts at the moment.
$100 offer
Come in to the studio and get a professional photo taken, and receive three digital images for your online dating, for only $100. This would normally cost $350 ($250 for a sitting fee and $100 for web-optimized digital images).
$150 offer
For only $50 more, I will meet you on location, at a park, in your home or backyard, or at a favorite event or activity, and take photos of you doing what you enjoy most. Again, you will receive three digital images for your social media or online dating.
Because these offers represent such a deep discount, they are limited, and will expire on February 15th. So take advantage now, and call me at 203-274-5975 to book your session, or e-mail me at Beth@BethMadisonPhotography.com
Rally-O – Adding more joy to life with your dog
September 21, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Rally-O is a great activity that you can do with your dog that will bring you both more joy than you can imagine. Why should you bother?
- As I said above, it’s loads of fun for you. It’s exciting, challenging, easy to get started with, and can be done casually or more seriously.
- It’s loads of fun for your dog. Your dog will get exercise and mental stimulation. This means a happy dog, and a dog that’s ready to return home afterwards and take a nice nap.
- By working together – scratch that; by playing together in this way, the bond between you and your dog becomes stronger than ever.
- If you’re a bit neurotic as I am and you ever wonder whether your dog is having a fulfilling life, you can rest easy.
But what exactly is Rally-O? Rally-O, or Rally-Obedience, is a sport that can be done competitively or just for fun. It’s basically a cross between obedience competition and canine agility. (Agility is where dogs negotiate a course, jumping jumps, going through tunnels and walking a balance beam in a timed, competitive event.)
In Rally-O, an owner and dog go through a course where they are prompted at each station to do an action, either take a jump (the dog!) or perform some simple bit of obedience work. Owners are allowed to talk to and encourage their dogs, unlike at Obedience trials. Many people do Rally just for fun, but it is also a competitive event.
Here — take a look:
Call your local doggie-day-care center or training center and ask if they teach Rally-O. Other great activities to do with your dog include agility, canine freestyle (AKA dancing with your dog), and, of course, obedience. I know — we’re all incredibly busy and often stressed out. But doing activities like these with your dog (maybe with your family, too!) is a lot cheaper than therapy, more rewarding than complaining to your friends, and much more fun!
