Happy Thanksgiving blog readers!

This Thanksgiving I am thankful for a beautiful place to live, copious amounts of snow, friends both near and far, my incredible family, and my amazingly amazing fiancee, Mike.

I hope your day is full of good food, good friends or family (and if you’re really lucky, both!), and good health.

An image of mine was recently featured in the blog Fetch, which is on Sun Valley Magazine’s website.  The image was taken during a series of two photo shoots last winter with my friend Jenna and her two Portuguese Water dogs, Tasman and Millie.  A few more images from the shoots can be found below.

This past weekend we had a nice snowstorm, which hopefully marks the beginning of a long, snowy winter.

In honor of the beautiful snow (and because we needed images for our holiday card!) we did a photo shoot in front of our property’s big red barn.  Here’s a couple images from the day – ones that didn’t make the cut for the Christmas card!

It was just about a month ago that I had the opportunity to hunt at the Lava Lake Ranch with former Governor (of Idaho) and former Secretary of the Interior (for President Carter) Cecil Andrus.  It was an experience like no other, that’s for sure, and I’m grateful I was able to tag along.  Here are a few of the images from the hunt.  Note: I have chosen not to share the more graphic images of the actual hunt.  I realize they aren’t quite for public consumption.

P/S – If you’re curious why many of my shots are from behind, I learned quite quickly then when you’re on a hunt you stay behind the people with guns.  Always.

My buddy Jeff and I started a month-long photo challenge today – an image a day with our truly crappiest cameras.  To check out our November of madness, go to our webpage – http://jeffsara.wordpress.com.

Our first challenge, before even starting the month, was to take a self portrait with our crappiest cameras in the shot.  Taking a leaf out of the book of Miss Aniela, I created a composite inside my home office space.  Now all I need is an alter-ego name…

Great Pyranees puppies (yes, those huge dogs are actually puppies) and a photography helper.  How much better can a day get?

Last week I had the opportunity to do some shooting at the Lava Lake Ranch outside of Carey, Idaho.  I will be sharing many more images from this shoot, but for now, here’s a shot from the evening.  I couldn’t resist those contrasty, low hanging clouds against the bright blue sky.

Two images in one day!  Well that just won’t do.  But I couldn’t resist.
