Austin, Texas: On-Location, natural light photographer. Photographing pets and the people who love them.
Chandler makes up the other half of the Cadence & Chandler Champion Whippet Team. I didn’t just make that snazzy name up – these dogs are really from champion bloodlines. This dog is made for speed and he knows it. Just look at that lightning bolt running down his forehead…watch your back Harry Potter.
Cadence is a real super sweetie with the most delicate little features. This little Whippet will steal your heart with one glance into her big doe like eyes.
Bambi – eat your heart out.
Her brother Chandler is a real pistol and I will be posting some of him very soon – you won’t want to miss this handsome stud!

Ah, god Nichole, these look like they are straight out of a coffee table book! Especially the last two. They have such beautiful, subdued coloring. Fantastic job!
Your work is totally awesome! These photos are incredibly beautiful, and worthy of gallery placement.
All of these shots are beautiful…something about the subdued color pallette makes them extra special. You really captured their personalities and gentle spirit.
Thanks everyone for your awesome comments!
i love the first one, she looks so sweet.
these pictures are just amazing! i love them all!
=)
She looks like a sweetheart. I love the photo of the two of them. It has a certain symmetry which works for me.
These are AWESOME. I love whippets, they remind me so much of my dog Maeby. These are such gorgeous shots. The blue pillows make a fantastic backdrop.
So I was tagged by Jamie over at Cowbelly to spill a secret or two out in the blogosphere.
The rules of the game are as follows:
I’ve decided that I will stick with really awesome rock ballads that I LOVED back in the day. Yes, I was a little metal/glam rock/pop rock kid complete with a leather jacket and posters adorning my walls.
1. Guns N’ Roses- Sweet Child O’ Mine: This song still makes me feel teary. Why can’t Axl get his voice back and make something else this nostalgic?
2. Queensryche – Silent Lucidity: So…dramatic, So…amazingly awesome!
3. Creed – One Last Breath: Yes, you read that right…Creed – ha ha ha.
4. Skid Row – I Remember You: I actually saw them in concert with Pantera. YES!
5. Warrant – Heaven: This has to be the worst of the bunch. So sad…so sad
I am tagging the following people (but I won’t hold you to it):
Stephanie Arsenault Jill Benninato – Sit. Stay. Smile. Grace Chon – Shine Pet Photos Mia Clapton – Thousand Hound Photography Jill Coursen – J.C. Photography3 comments
ROCK ON with your bad self. I can totally picture you with a lighter in hand, bandana tied around your wrist (or head- axl-style?) swaying to the sweet rock music. Ha ha ha, hee hee. Thanks for indulging us Nicole! funny stuff. I love this game.
HA, thanks for tagging me… this is going to be hard! Gotta think about this one…
ohhh cool! I will definitely have to think about this…
We just couldn’t help ourselves. I mean really, how cute is this? The funny thing is that Ella actually really liked the idea of having her babies attached to her. She ran around the backyard and pranced about with a big smile on her face.

oh my gosh. ella is {gorgeous}
“How cute is this” you ask? REALLY REDONKULOUSLY CUTE!! It looks like she’s wearing a little tutu or something. She looks more than happy to have her babies tied on her!
OH BOY! It’s going to take me a bit to think about this. I will get back to you.
You have been tagged Nicole!
Head over to my blog at http://www.cowbellyblog.com to read the rules of the game.
I can’t wait to read your answers! I love these games. 
That has to be the sweetest little doggie I’ve ever seen of all time ever!!! Where did she come from? I want one, or perhaps two. Keep up the great work!
oh my god between you and grace today I can’t stop laughing! thanks so much for these Nicole- she is hilarious! GREAT snaps. hee hee hee, still laughing…
Awwww, she’s so cute! and very patient..hehe.
I had the great pleasure of photographing Carley today. She is a lovely Boxer/German Shepard with pretty brown eyes and a really great smile. You can definitely tell that her parents love her very much and Carley clearly knows what a lucky girl she is.

Yes, I know…she totally looks like the Fergster.
OMG that’s crazy- she looks like Fergie!!! Carley is beautiful, great snaps Nicole. Love the first one.
I did it…I think…go check me out and let me know what you think!
Thanks Mia and Grace. Jill – it was super duper easy and I am not an HTML person at all. I think the stuff Jamie did might be a bit harder but I kept it pretty simple. I am sure Jamie or I can help you out – though I hardly doubt you will need it.
All right…you and jamie have convinced me I have to get this template for my blog…it looks awesome and I have major photo image size envy…Is it really hard to do??? can you give me any pointers? I am somewhat html challenged…
HELP ME!!!
I love the smile in that first shot.
Awesome shoot! Carley is adorable and I love the last one with the owner in the shot too. And congrats on the new blog! It looks fantastic.

Jamie cowbelly - the top row- the photo on the right. that is the one I refer to when I say that I can see it in my mind when I close my eyes. I had to comment a second time because I swear to you that image pops into my mind when I’m going about my business. It’s that special.

JC Furtography - very nice, I also love the last shot!
Grace - That shot from behind of his ears and lightning bolt… wow. And the last is my favorite too!
nicole - I think that’s the most awesome comment I have ever received Jamie – thanks!
Jamie Pflughoeft - wow, wow, wow Nichole! more ‘straight from a book’ images. Your style with these last photos is almost translucent; very soft, like, they hit you with a whisper instead of a roar, if that makes any sense at all. Very well done.
