The Summer of Dolly.

I haven't been very good about blogging this summer, but the truth of the matter is, I haven't really had the time. Dolly Parton has taken up way more of our time than what we had originally anticipated and we really havent done much of anything besides getting her settled into the family. She's been worth every second of our time and is seriously the cutest puppy ever.

She got her first bath.

She became BFFs with Ace.

Then she beat him up.

She played and looked cute.

She went to Puppy School and graduated.

My Gorgeous Sister-in-Law.

I consider myself to be pretty damn lucky to be an aspiring photographer that has a drop-dead-gorgeous-sister-in-law who never minds modeling for me. We went out a couple of Saturdays ago so that I could play with my new lens, practice exposures and shoot some film. I think the results are pretty awesome, but I don't think anyone could make a bad photo with this girl. I had the hardest time narrowing it down to my favorites. Block off some time and grab a drink because this is a long one.
