It takes a photography team with very specialized skills to evoke a "keeper" image when you are a single mother of two, running a small farm and chasing the few minutes of perfect light.

• The cookie carrier.

• The lead rope holder.

• The baby wrangler.

• The cat herder. Literally.

• The "crinkler" to get the attention of both human and four-legged subjects.

• The gate closer.

• And the photographer.

Here's to my team of animal lovers, part-time photography enthusiasts, practice shot models, trusted canine and equine family members and the best big sister, farm hand and "second shooter" in the universe, that make it possible for  me to live this dream.
