We've had some pretty scary moments with Porter's health during the late Spring/early Summer. At one point, we weren't sure he'd make it to his 15th birthday but we're so very glad he did! 

 

The photo above was taken by our incredible friend Charlene Dean of Us and the Dog, when we scrambled to plan a last family photo session before it was too late. We're grateful to be coming up on 2 months from that photo shoot and the bub continues to be stable and respond well to his meds. We know this extended time won't last forever but we're soaking up every last nugget of the sweet silliness that we can.

In addition to all the dog love and cuddle puddle situations, we've been keeping up the hard work toward the launch of Studio 8000, including support from Bridgeway Capital business experts to create a business plan and projections.

 

In the land of client work, we're getting very close to launching an artist's new website, documenting the incredible Summer Intensive classes taught at Pittsburgh Glass Center, working on a multiphase photography + web + social media project with Contemporary Craft's retail store, and photographing glass on glass on glass on glass, for you guessed it - Wissmach Glass, to support an upcoming catalog update, new product launches, and their brand new online store.

 

That's not everything but we promised to keep this new email series short and sweet!
