meet Candice and her awesome dogs, Honey and Barney. we had a lovely afternoon at their home and then we were brave enough to head down to the beach on a cold and windy day. nonetheless, it was a treat to capture the love between these three. Honey, the smiling girl. Honey giving me…
i was so excited to receive an invite from a lovely young family to capture their first puppy’s homecoming…and i was in on the surprise too! their two children weren’t expecting Zack, the English Cocker Spaniel puppy, home until the weekend, but mom picked him up a few days early. the look on their faces…especially…
You captured some fantastic expressions from Zack. What a face! Love, love, love this session. These will be cherished memories for sure. Our black lab is now 16 and very feeble, and I’d give anything to have pictures like this of him as a puppy. The time goes by SO quickly!
oh my goodness… SO. ADORABLE. every kid should have a puppy!! the kids will treasure these for life. amazing work, marcia!!
Your photos are works of art that will hang in our home for many years to come! Even though Zack is my shadow, each day I see the bond between Olivia & Zack growing. That said Will & Zack have a pretty cool thing going on now too! I know that we will always treasure these moments that you captured and I am so glad we decided to do the session on the day we did!
i too love these photos. what a lucky puppy zack is and he seems so content! the markings on zacks paws are cool … in the black and white shots, it looks like his feet are muddy! : D
Such beautiful pictures—So personal and touching. The children, and their intentness in learning who their new puppy is, and loving him so openly from the get go…or so it appears…warms my heart. The puppy on the leather couch, curious about his girl, the kissing, and the tickle face of the beautiful young boy as his puppy nuzzles into his ear are my faves. What a terrific and precious record for this family!
Such beautiful photos – almost made me cry 
Oh, Marcia! I’m a little choked up, too! These are wonderful! Now I want a puppy (rescue folks, do not listen to me. I do not need another puppy).
these are such precious photos….you really captured the special moments…I can see how you love your work !
OMG!!!! These pictures are so awesome! I am starting to understand why you are so revered!!!
here are the Marcia Leeder Photography Facebook page posts from last week. ENJOY and forward on to your friends. it’s time for another round of ‘Rockem’ Sockem’ Kitty’! look out Cameron, Archie’s got a mean left hook! i’m looking forward to seeing my new friend Honey tomorrow. glad you’re feeling better girlie! i’m so…
<3 Pirate Cam!
running both a business and a household by yourself has it’s challenges…i’ll admit, most household chores continuously fall further and further down the ‘to do’ list. case in point: the backyard. i hadn’t finished raking up the leaves in the fall before the snow came. now that it’s all melted, i have quite the eyesore…
I love this post! Cameron is such a beautiful girl – I’m glad she got a blog post (almost) all to herself! My tortie girl loves going up on the roof and teasing my other kitty that he’s not nimble enough to follow her.. definitely made my day reading this one..
marcia, these are great, your ginger gang are so sweet together! you captured some truly gorgeous shots of both cameron and archie. cats do love to be up high, where they can have an eye on everything!
Great pics – but I am amazed you got anything done! I’d spend the whole time watching them all explore and have adventures!
I love how you call them brown bombs.
The love the pictures of Cameron.
Poor Archie stuck in the house. I was out doing a bit of cleaning and all i could see my youngest cat at the window meowing at me. All i saw was the mouth moving and the eyes squinting in the sunlight
Archie is getting big!! I love how he walks with his tail up. Reggie is still a little scrawny cat, and Moose is quite plump now and talks all the time!
I love the picture of LD, Tichka, and Archie, you can see how they all communicate and get along.
And Cam! She reminds me of Moose more and more.
My fave pic is when she’s scratching her back on the roof. She’s got the pleased look in her eyes.
Such a great gang! <3
AMAZING to see them all together and how they get along so well! Cameron is a funny funny cat. Reminds me that I need to do some yard clean-up.
It was a beautiful day! What a great way to spend it. Oh my gosh, Cameron on the roof…that’s too much!! I would be scared, but it looks like she’s a pro at climbing. Wonderful photos!
i am often contacted by student and amateur portrait photographers, seeking my advice to help take their passion for photography to the next level and start a business. unfortunately, i don’t have time to reply to everyone in great detail, so i thought i would share my thoughts here for those interested in what i…
As someone who once tried to sell her photography, I can say that this is excellent advice, Marcia! You certainly know what you’re talking about!
