    Beautiful Beasties

    Going through all our family photos, there is always a common factor, our pets. I call them Fur babies, those cute animals that bring so much joy and unconditional love to your life. I have always had animals in my life, owned and showed Rabbits, many cats, dogs, even had chickens, ducks, geese, while growing up. No, didn’t live on a farm, but out in the country and loved being close to nature.  Taking photos of animals can be tricky, and recently I was chosen to review the book “Beautiful Beasties, by Jaime Pflughoeft. I will be hosting a giveaway and adding a full review of this book in the coming days. I am looking forward to learning better techniques to taking photographs of my beloved fur babies.

    Do you ever see family pets in your old photographs?
