EVENT PHOTO SHOOT: Gig Harbor, WA herding trial

Wendy and I spent Memorial weekend (Sat-Sun-Mon) up in Washington near Seattle doing photography gig for In the Zone Photography. We were booked as event photographer for this herding trial way back last summer after we did a great job covering the All-Breed Herding Club of Western Washington (ABHCWW) trial up in Arlington, WA. They also re-booked us for that trial again too (up in Arlington)!

We stayed with Erika up in Seattle, and drove to Gig Harbor (about an hour away) each morning of herding trial. Erika watched Kaylee for us at her place. We sure missed her - but it was good to know she was having "fun with aunty Erika" and we got to spend some time with her in the evenings.

Weather was awesome. It was overcast the entire weekend (which I actually like because it gives uniform lighting conditions from any angle) - stayed nice and cool, but didn't rain. We totally lucked out for shooting conditions and got lots and lots of great pics.

My "Photographer Picks" from the event are in this gallery...

Took about 1,800 photos total! They herded both ducks and sheep at this event. Sold some full run photo CD's and 8x10, 5x7, and lots of 4x6's at event, plus many people are eager to check out the online gallery and order more pics and gift items (this was first time we brought some demo photo items to show at event - coffee mugs, puzzles, mouse pads, keychains, etc).

Was a great weekend, but working 12 hours a day is definately draining!
