Jaz modeling for a photoshoot

 You don't need a big photo shoot set when you're taking pics of a little dog!

Last week, I took Jasmine to a photoshoot.  (Not for any company or brand, just for me.)    :)

The photographer told me she was easier to work with than human clients!  LOL

Yes, these backgrounds look like they are from the 70's... but I still like the pics of Jaz.

I tried to get a "slam dunk" action shot, (with the ball falling through the hoop), but we could never get the timing right.  This is as close as we got.

I wanted to get a shot of Jaz with a "Thank You" sign- to thank all of our friends who have supported us along this journey!  (And of course, a pic with the shopping cart, since Jaz is most well-known for her "Dog Goes Shopping" video.

I bought actual prints of this one.  I thought it turned out cute.

Hello Toto!

Jasmine doesn't mind bath time if there's not actual water involved!!  ;)

So... those are my pics from the photoshoot.  The portrait studio was originally having a "pet portrait" special, but that was only for one pose.  How do you pick just one??  ;)

And the #BlogPaws Winner Is.....

I can't believe it's almost time for BlogPaws!!  And I had an extra ticket to give away!  We get one because we're a speaker.  (We're giving a presentation next Friday about "The Power of YouTube".)   But then earned a 2nd free one because Jasmine's video "Santa's Little Helper" was nominated for a "Best Video" award.  (If you remember the video from last December!)


If you have just stumbled across our blog, and have no idea who "My Favorite Pup Jasmine" is or that we make YouTube videos...
Here's a little sneak peak at our history...

So... back to the exciting part!   Last week, we had a raffle to help pick the winner of the FREE ticket to BlogPaws.   

And the winner is....

SUMMER!! 

Summer has a blog about crafts, recipes, and life.  
Check it out!  http://summerscraps.blogspot.com/

She also has 3 kids and 2 dogs who keep her busy!

When I wrote to Summer to tell her she had won, she wrote back:

"CJ I am so excited!!!!  Some of my friends are going to blogpaws but I wasn't going to be able to go because it wasn't it my budget.  That is so awesome that I was able to win the conference pass!!! 

Jasmine is such a cute dog and my kids just love her tricks.  I am so excited to be going to BlogPaws!  Thanks so much!!!!"


If you don't know, kids and dogs are my two favorite things ever!  


So of course, I wanted to hear all about her 2 pups!

MEET MAX and JACK!

Max is our German Shepherd.  He will be 2 in October.  His full name for any who are curious is Maximus Vanhelsing (named after a famous gladiator and vampire hunter) :)  Max is very loving and even though he is huge always wants to sit in my lap.  He is very loved and a bit of a sissy, but becomes quite protective when strangers are around.  He is fun and cuddly and lets our three children cuddle with him constantly.

Jack is our Jack Rat (part Jack Russel and part Rat terrier).  He will be 4 in July.  He is named after our most favorite pirate Jack Sparrow - yup we love movies around here.  Jack is a bit tempermental and even though he is sweet I keep him away from small children just to be safe.  He kind of reminds me of a cat - he will sleep the afternoon away or can be found sunning himself in a sunny spot in the house.  Sometimes I can't find him and he will be curled up and sleeping under a blanket. 

I haven't really blogged about my dogs on my blog and am considering it since they are part of the family as well.  

 

I can't wait to meet you Summer!!   CONGRATULATIONS!!!  See ya at BlogPaws!!!   :)
