10 on 10 on 12

Work has been so busy lately that today was the first day I was actually able to sit at my home computer and load up the pictures I took on the 10th.  The worst part is, I didn't even have enough time to take a full set of 10.  Please excuse my late and incomplete assignment.

Lost a great friend today.

10 on 10: December

Stayed at home with a cold today so I was really thankful for 10 on 10 today.  It gave me a chance to appreciate the beauty that my husband and I have created in our own home.  The holiday season always seems to make the house feel just a bit warmer inside.

Enjoy more sets here.

X-Rays Before and After

Unfortunately some residual swelling is still lingering so I don't have great pictures of myself before and after, however I was able to take some before and after shot of my x-rays.  The picture on the top is before, and the lower is after surgery.  You can see the plates and screws that will remain in my lower jaw and the splits that were cut into the bone.  It is amazing to me how a slight change can make such a difference in my bite.   The 5mm+ overbite that I had prior to surgery is a thing of the past.

I'm still recovering and relearning how to talk, eat and smile.  Overall I am really happy with the result and looking forward to finishing up this two year long process.  

 

Here is a close up of my left jaw.
 

Seattle Dog Photography

My closest friends and let's just say most acquaintances know about my love of dogs.  A great day for me would include sleeping in, a great cup of coffee, a few great meals and a fun activity with my pup.  Kaya brings Scott and I so much joy everyday.  We find ourselves scheduling play dates, day care, and daily activities all to ensure that each day is a great one for her. 

Through this journey of being a "dog parent" I have discovered that I really love to photograph dogs.  I started with a few of Kaya's friends and have actually made a few of my own while taking photos in the dog park.  Here is just a taste of my hobby!

All of the below pictures are unedited and shared without the use of Photoshop in any way.  If you are interested in having me photograph your furry friend, please do not hesitate to contact me.
