Holiday Exchange Card Archives

Got Mail?

November 19, 2012

We LOVE getting mail but Mr. Mailman delivers mail sporadically.
Silly but that’s how it is upcountry living.
We have to go to our local post office to get the bulk of our mail.
It’s actually FUN … so many mailboxes in different sizes.
We also met many kind and happy postal workers.
Soon some of you will be receiving a mail from us,
particularly if you participated in the Holiday Exchange Card.
We were very busy over the weekend preparing our Holiday Card.
I had to check not only once but twice mom’s list and work. Making sure she did it correctly.
As always, we are being ‘green’ on sending out our Holiday Greetings.
Make sure to check your email and/or mailbox this week.
To be honest I was not much help.
My mom did most of the work as I …
… sleep Zzzzz.

It’s that time of the year …

Also, during this time my “web designer” mom has plans to move my blog to WordPress. Yes, we are saying good-bye to Blogger …

It’s a nerve-racking process for a blog move, one reason my mom is doing it during her relaxing break. Wish her the best of luck!

We will be back on Jan 5th.

Uncooperative Holiday Photo Shoot + Pet Photo Tips

November 11, 2010

Gorgeous outdoor weather for the past days.
It hard to believe it’s November but it felt like Spring.

My mom thought it will be a great idea to do a photo shoot for the

2010 Blog Pet Pals Holiday Exchange Cards.

I was loving the weather too much …

I rather do Golden Grass Rolls.

I was totally uncooperative to partake on this photo shoot.

My mom is not a professional photographer and takes photos on a regular digital camera.

Here are some helpful tips that she learned from taking photographs of me.

5 Helpful Tips of Taking Holiday Pet Photos

1. Planning and preparation are keys to a successful holiday pet photo. Select a simple theme. Plan it based it on your dog’s behavioral mood. Never do a photo shoot when your dog is sleepy, tired and/or hungry. A relax and well feed dog is the best time.

2. Select appropriate accessories. Not all dogs want to be accessorized and dressed-up. Be sensitive to the comfort level of your dog.

3. Paying attention to the photo background. Keep the photo background as simple as possible. Keep in mind the real subject of your photo shoot, your dog.

4. Lighting plays an important role. Natural lighting is the best. Thus, taking holiday pet photo outdoors is great. As much as possible avoid using your camera’s flash. If you are limited to indoor area, makes sure to utilize a room that has windows/doors and allow as much natural light as possible. You many use other lightning options such as lamps to bring more light in the room.

5. Be experimental. Enjoy and most importantly have FUN. “Relish this time you spend with your dog. You’ll forever treasure the end-product.”
