Hope you had a wonderful long weekend. I know we did! Things are clicking along here at JP. Mom is getting me all organized and figuring out a better packaging and shipping system and we are rockin’ and rollin’. And what not.

Stay tuned tomorrow for a fabulous engagement session with Darrah and Jared!




2008 Was My Favorite!

Posted on January 13th, 2009 by Kate. Filed in Hot Mommies, Dogs, A Life in the Day, Families, Get On The Bus!, Babies, Weddings

The 2nd year of Juxtapose Photography was phenomenal. I got to meet and learn about so many wonderful people through the lens and face to face. I am the luckiest girl in the world, and here’s the proof! Here is the slideshow of all of my favorite images (both personal and professional) from this past year.

To see the show, please click on the image below or this link! Then, hold your horses for a minute or so and let it load. Then, turn up your speakers and rock and roll!

Yawn

I’m tired, and apparently Noopsy is, too. It could have something to do with a certain three year old coming out of her room every morning around 5:30 to play My Little Pony. Just maybe.

Hagen needs to come over for playtime! OH but wait, she will pee all over your new house. Dog from H*ll.

Stacy Dec 2nd, 2008 at 2:15 pm

I feel ya, Noopsie!

Stacy Dec 2nd, 2008 at 2:15 pm

Noopsy. Sorry dawg.

Mary Ann McLeod Dec 2nd, 2008 at 7:24 pm

We do not get enough Noopsy shots. Thank you! Good boy, Noopsy. Now, sleep well.

Kim Calakoutis Dec 4th, 2008 at 10:26 am

Awww! Can I come over and take him home!!!!


Chewy :: The Dawg

Posted on June 30th, 2008 by Kate. Filed in Dogs

Last week I had one of the more emotionally challenging shoots I have ever experienced. As a huge fan of dogs, it was heartbreaking to learn that McKinney local Suzanne had recently received the news that her Chewy had been diagnosed with brain cancer. She requested a session to capture Chewy’s spirit, and time was of the essence. Feeling the pressure of the situation, I armed myself with my gear and a big helping of steely coldness to prevent myself from crying.

Thankfully, we seemed to have gotten a gift from the gods just in time for the shoot. Chewy’s medication perked her up long enough for her to charm me with her doggy ways!

She managed to muster enough energy to bark at a neighboring cat!

Chewy, may your tail always wag, no matter where you are.

I am totally bawling… Hopefully Chewy will recover, or at least finish what looks to be a full life with grace and plenty of cookies. Dogs rule and so do these shots of Chewy.

Janet Jun 30th, 2008 at 2:55 pm

I’m Chewy’s neighbor — you have captured our sweet friend utterly.

suzanne Jun 30th, 2008 at 3:05 pm

WOW. Absolutely Fabulous photos …… I am in awe of your ability to capture her without really knowing her…. amazing in a less than 45 minute meet.
…….life spawns connections and i’m grateful for my brief connection with you a year or so ago as that connection allowed this day to occur ..perhaps another juxtapostion of sorts? My eternal thanks …

Stacy Jun 30th, 2008 at 3:16 pm

Big hugs for Chewy!!

Kate Jun 30th, 2008 at 4:06 pm

Suzanne-I am so glad that these fit the bill. She is such a beauty, inside and out…a sweet, sweet girl.

tara Jul 1st, 2008 at 12:06 am

Wow-Kate, you’re an angel with a lens. I just had some bad news today about my snugglebuns rattie, Templeton, He’s a rat, but he’s my baby 100%! We were given the word today that he has a terminal lung tumor. I’m so thankful to know that someone else appreciates the spirit of our furry family members. Suzanne, your angel is so lucky to have a wonderful mommy to make her the eternal star of her life! She certainly has a lot of spirit and she seems to know that she’s the star of this show. I wrote a blog today about how my most beautiful gifts have come from furry unexpected packages! She is certainly the grand prize, and I’m sure she feels the same way about you.

suzanne Jul 1st, 2008 at 8:32 am

Tara, i was sorry to read about Templeton, i will hold you both in my thoughts and prayers. I think it was Will Rogers who said “Dog is man’s best friend because they wag their tails instead of their tongues” … tails wags for both Chewy and Templeton !!!!

Dianne Jul 1st, 2008 at 9:16 am

I am Chewy’s aunt. I have had the priveledge of hearing a lot of Chewy stories beginning with day one….how she almost missed being part of Suzanne’s life. I know she brougth a lot of happiness to Suzanne and I am thankful for that! Miracles do happen.

Mary Ann McLeod Jul 1st, 2008 at 9:26 am

My heart aches for Suzanne–and for you. You gave her a beautiful gift.

Carole and Ms. Mags Jul 1st, 2008 at 9:28 am

What a precious way to always have a physical remembrance of your baby. You will never forget her nor should you. Ms. Mags and I are praying and thinking about you both. May God give you peace. I love you.


Noopsy Malone Mefford :: For Erin Vey, Who Needed a Dog Fix Today

Posted on April 23rd, 2008 by Kate. Filed in Dogs, A Life in the Day

This is just for Erin Vey. She’s my homegirl, and only the best dog photographer out there. She lives in Seattle and rocks the hizzie. She wanted to see a pic of Noopsy, and while I should have a recent one handy, I don’t. I just got a new iMac and now that I have 2 computers, files are everywhere. Pardon my mess!

Here is the dog I love most. He is my firstborn child and the wedding present Bobby and I gave each other. And yes, we let him sleep in the bed with us. We are total suckers for this little guy!


noopsyfrcr.jpg

Stay tuned for tons of pics of The Noopser next month. It’s his 6th birthday!

It’s about time!!!! I love him. One ear up and obviously waiting for a cookie :)

Holly Apr 23rd, 2008 at 9:19 pm

Hagen said she can’t believe Noopsy is 6! She said that even though she is almost 11 she will still eat all his birthday cake, no matter how old she gets!

Mary Ann McLeod Apr 24th, 2008 at 5:21 pm

OMIGOSH! How come we’ve never seen this boy?! Next time you’re here you have to photograph our Reilly Dog. What a pair those two would be. I’m in love double.

Ali and Her Boyz

Posted on February 26th, 2008 by Kate. Filed in Dogs, Individuals

Alison Morgan, aka Ali, is as cute as a button and no bigger than a minute…especially when she is standing next to her loves, Dallas and Oliver. She is the sister of Katie and aunt to Bailey, but mom to the most adorable kiss-giving boys you have ever seen…and she dresses them well! They are very lucky to have a fashion designer for a mommy. Check out their cool coats and collars made by Ali!


LOVE the shoes, girlfriend!

Holly Feb 27th, 2008 at 12:20 pm

Love the shots! If you can handle those 2 big doggies I’m sure you can handle me and Nathan’s 4 mutts. Get ready to shoot the pack someday soon!!! Hopefully I will still be sane!!!

[…] Ali, they also have ties to Katie and PM, as well as Rachael and Jeremy. I am starting to feel like my […]

Everyday is Ruby Tuesday

Posted on February 11th, 2008 by Kate. Filed in Dogs

My friend, Karen, the owner of Spoons Cafe, just got a new little buddy. Her name is Ruby and she is just a jewel of a pup. She is such a mama’s girl and is stuck to Karen like white on rice. What a joy it was to take her “baby” pics.


ruby-11cr.jpg

This image cracks me up. The way Karen and Ruby are positioned at the desk, both with their eyes on the door, makes me wonder who’s the boss. =) Karen? Ruby? Karen? No…Ruby!

ruby-38cr.jpg

Lots of love from Mommy Karen.

ruby-30cr.jpg

Ruby reciprocates!

ruby-15cr.jpg

The girls go out on the town.

Oh, to be a puppy and play all day!

Mary Ann McLeod Feb 13th, 2008 at 12:03 pm

I’ll bet i have looked at the Ruby pictures 10 times now. Joy, joy, joy!! Thank you, Karen and Ruby and Kate.
