A Family Portrait

Remember my article for the hunting magazine?  They needed a photo of Vince, the mighty hunter, and Judy, his lovely wife!

Family Portrait

I set the camera to do the self-photo thing but then we looked down and Miss Hattie was standing there wondering why she wasn’t part of the family portrait. We took a revised family photo.

Family Photo

Despite our best efforts, Miss Hattie would not smile but at least she’s in the picture.

I sent both pictures to the magazine folks.  We’ll see which one they use.

    You tell them, we won’t buy the magazine unless Hattie’s in it!
    Fair is fair, she’s family too!

    I like both, but the one with Miss Hattie is special.

    It’s unanimous — Miss Hattie needs to be in a magazine article. After all, she is a star in her own right. You and Vince look great in both pictures.

    LOL! Soooo cute!!! Love both shots, but the one with Miss Hattie is special. 🙂

    They are both lovely photos but I love the expressions on your face with Ms. Hattie. I wonder what Spike thinks about this photo? LOL Our dog would have her nose way out of joint if she wasn’t in the photo too! Thanks for sharing..

    Both photos are great but the second one is my fave. You both look so happy and I’m sure Miss Hattie is smiling on the inside.

    So cute! I was just wondering about Miss Hattie the other day…does she still get out (without her dear courtier)? Looks like the answer is yes!

  34. Sheri says

    February 14, 2013 at 4:06 pm

    Love it! I hope they pick the one with Miss Hattie in it, too!

    Love the family photo. Your “Miss Hattie” looks just like my “Lucy”. Aren’t those feathered gals cool?
