Hadley's crew

Considering her youth, Hadley has assembled quite a support team. Meet Sarah, Ryan and Braylin. Hadley already did!

Family time

We love it when families stop by. Especially when they're this much fun! Even Benny-the-photo-dog got into the act.

Yummy - grrrr!

Chihuahuas are tough. Chihuahuas are powerful. Don't even THINK about disturbing a Chihuahua after he's devoured another fresh meal.
Can this really be our demure little Benny-the-photo-dog?

Frozen forensics

It snowed last night (again). Ugh. But looking at the positive in the situation, it provided as easy way to determine who had been visiting during the wee small hours.
Huh?!?!

Morgan & Bayley

Morgan's best friend is obviously Bayley. It looks reciprocal to us.

Blue

Little Blue is sooo cute. Who knew? We knew, now you too. Awww Blue.
Scott gave Blue to Sarah for her birthday in June. Our AZ trip delayed our meeting him but we'll be regular fans from now on.

More Katelynn

Psam decided that it was time to meet her new little sister. She clearly approves of this addition to the family.

Andrew

You can never be sure which Andrew will show up. Tough Andrew . . .
. . . tender Andrew . . .
. . . or confident grad Andrew. We like them all!

Benny

Our secret is out. It's really Benny-the-photo-dog who does all the PhotoShop work.

Dan and ...

Dan has a friend. It seems serious. Who is this mystery love?

Peace

It's a peaceful night here at the studio as we contemplate the wonderful things 2009 brought us.
Benny is already thinking about what lies ahead in 2010 . . .

. . . but he's not thinking too hard. Happy New Year to all!!

Family

Some families are just more photogenic. Our new family (thanks to our daughter's new husband) is a great example. What a great time we had yesterday in Catawba.
And Benny got a new snuggie.

Holiday wishes

Benny-the-photo-dog shows up here pretty often. But his Grandma Kathy appears rarely. That seems wrong since she's the founder, principal photographer, creative genius and driving force behind Hitesman Photography. Happy holidays to all!

Going to the dogs

Two new pups mean less lap room for each. No one appears to mind. Certainly not Jack or Jazz, Annie and Riley.

Chuckie lives!

While looking through old baby clothes we rediscovered Chuckie, one of Jason's childhood fav's. Benny-the-photo-dog didn't share his joy.

Wedding prep

Sarah, Kathy and a couple friends gathered to help in final prep for Sarah's wedding this Saturday.
Benny-the-photo-dog decided, inexplicably, that it was an appropriate time to initiate a game of twister.

Dani's friend

Danielle's wedding shower was today. We're not the only ones who are curious about what went on.

Baby - we'll miss you

Babycakes went to kitty heaven today after a ten-day struggle. She stayed in character until the end.


Never destructive, always observant, affectionate (on her terms) and concerned about appearances as most divas are. We enjoyed having her with us and we'll enjoy memories of her in the years ahead.Thanks Dr. Julie for your care and compassion. Rest in peace Babycakes.

Abby

This was supposed to be about Abby. But try to tell that to Leo. The "eyes" have it.

Sheba

Sheba certainly seems to enjoy Lake Erie. Abby and Erin couldn't resist sharing the water.
