A cardinal, a mustang, an angus and a big yellow dog...

Ok, maybe there was just ONE animal that came in the door with Danielle on Wednesday afternoon...

So where do the other birds and beasts come in?

Let me explain.

I was told by Danielle's mom, Cindy that a dog may be coming with for this session. And evidently... despite trying to talk her daughter out of it... In walks Goldy. Pictured below was the nicest of dogs... but since she was an indoor pet... there was no collar... and as a result... the three of us had our work cut out for us controlling the big ol' girl. :) Let me tell ya the TAIL on this pup sure was happy... and I wasn't so sure it just might not knock over a light stand all by itself!

Once we got Goldy photographed... Cindy ran her home and returned with another "animal." This time is was Danielle 2005 black Ford Mustang. *jealous*

Any high school kid with a ride THAT sweet needs to be smiling and sure enough... Danielle was. It was another cold, damp and misty session... but that wouldn't stop us from making awesome images.

Two more animals to go.

She couldn't have brought an red angus with her, could she?

Well... no. But she did bring in many of her fair/showing awards and with the help of a stock angus image... we documented this cowgirl's passion.

Finally.... the cardinal. This may have been a bit of a stretch by the author here... but as most of you know... somehow Iowa State University has found a way to represent it's tornadic type symbol of a cyclone into a little red bird. "Cy" as we know him by around here, is over Danielle's heart, fittingly enough, in the ISU t-shirt she donned for the session. This future veterinarian, will be off to Ames for college in a year... and while it goes against my religion to "promote" anything Cyclone related... I swallowed hard... bucked up with professionalism... and then smiled an evil smile as I watched Danielle "suffer" through riding around in my Hawkeye Hummer H3. :)

Thanks for a fun session ladies... :) You ain't half bad for a Cyclone, Danielle.... I don't care what anyone says about 'cha. ;)
