What I Didn’t Blog About | April 2013

May 3, 2013

A quick look back at the happenings for the month of April. Of course, if you want to see these photos as I post them and receive the most up-to-date shenanigans, then you should “like” the KDP Facebook page.

01 What I Didn’t Blog About | April 2013 PUPPY LOVE! Oh, lordy, me and my loyal assistant (aka my husband, Tim) feel in love with this cuddly curly guy. You can check out the rest of his session here on the blog!

If you want even more Winston goodness, you can download this month’s calendar and enjoy his mug all month long!

02 What I Didn’t Blog About | April 2013 03 What I Didn’t Blog About | April 2013 Sox and Bixby, with their favorite toys, I know they are their favorite because we have to replace them constantly! (Waffles plays as well, but it’s a very different kind of play that has yet to be captured on camera – mostly because the moment he sees me he pounces me and attacks me with love.)

04 What I Didn’t Blog About | April 2013 Puppy yawns. No reason needed for this adorableness.

05 What I Didn’t Blog About | April 2013 A B&A shot. If you know me, I’m big on getting things right in camera so an undramatic Before and After photo is my goal.

06 What I Didn’t Blog About | April 2013 Her name is Fallon and yes, she is as amazing as she looks.

08 What I Didn’t Blog About | April 2013 A sneak peek of Cooper and Liliah’s session. Gotta love mismatched siblings!

Fallon the Fantastic Great Dane

April 30, 2013

Is there anything greater than the a Great Dane? Meet the impeccable Fallon. Fallon is a SHE, not to be confused with a HE (sorta like my girl Peetie, who confused people because they would start out caller her a “she”, hear her name, switch to “he” and then get super confused when we correct it back to “she”)! You probably remember this beauty from my Facebook page but those little blips were just the start!
Thank your Dori! I loved the location you chose and your girl was a fantastic model to work with!

Winston the Wonder Pup

April 24, 2013

I had the pleasure of meeting Marie and her brand new rescue puppy, Winston. Marie is the extremely talented founder and creative director of Two Penny Blue and wanted to set up a session while she was in the valley (her husband is with the Chicago Cubs, so they were down here for spring training).

Since it was a last minute session – she had just adopted Winston – I had no idea what kind of dog I would be photographing that day. So, I was a bit nervous when I rang their doorbell and didn’t hear any barking – I thought I had the wrong house but when she opened the door I spotted the most adorable puppy – it was instant love for me and my husband/assistant. When I say Winston is a wonder, I mean it. He posed for the camera without and begging and bribing and I never barked once.
Thanks for a great photoshoot Marie, I’m so glad you choose me to photograph your amazing pup. And I look forward to seeing Ping next year when he is all grown-up!

Itty Bitty & Fluffy Session Feature | Rocky & Diva

April 5, 2013

I absolutely LOVED photographing Rocky and Diva last year. Not only were they photogentic, they are also sweet and lovable bunch. A big thanks goes out to Catharine and James over at Itty Bitty & Fluffy. If you haven’t checkout their site yet you must, it’s chock full of adoptable pets, fab finds and all the eye candy a person could ever ask for!

You can check out Diva and Rocky’s feature HERE.

What I Didn’t Blog About | March 2013

April 3, 2013

The Kira DeDecker Photography Facebook page is where you’ll not only see my latest work but also catch up on all the latest goings on. But, as you may have heard/noticed, Facebook is throttling pages so there may be a lot that you missed last month!

My crew. For those here that need a refresher (or are new) from Left to Right we have: Waffles, Sox and Bixby. Sox and Waffles (my blue merles) are boys and Bixby is a girl.

Oh, and this photo was taken up north in Show-low, you can see more of them here.

My handsome boys. I’m pretty sure they both come from the same local breeder – of course, I will never know since we have no idea where Sox came from prior to us adopting him.

I feel in love with this face. Something a little different post processing wise.

Spent a sunny Thursday in my studio with a bunch of Cavaliers with Cavalier Rescue USA! First time meeting the breed and I have to admit that I’m quite smitten. They just wanted to cuddle in my lap the whole time.
