Hi, hey, hello! This is my first ever blog post and I thought this was a good time to start! For those of you who don't know, I'm Lexie Clayburn and oh boy I loveeee dogs! I think they're the greatest gift to earth, life would be bleh without them. Every day is a party when there's dog hair confetti everywhere!

I got the great opportunity to have a pet photography event at https://www.healthypetssummitcounty.com. Hedi and her daughter are the nicest coolest people! Here are some of the furry faces I got to squish!

This is just a short blog post for today to get started, there will be more in the future on our dog photography adventures! Can you imagine all the slobber, dog hair, and wiggles? Those three things make any day the best day! Thank you for reading! Don't forget to hug your dog for me!

Two salty dogs!

It's not very often you get to visit a place that feels like another planet, but when you get that chance I beg you to go! The Bonneville Salt Flats is like a place out of this world. Miles and miles of sparkling ground that goes on forever! We went this May and were lucky to see it when a thin layer of water took over creating amazing reflections and ughh let me tell you about the sunsets! Im blessed with great friends and even greater husband that will follow me on my photography adventures and will drive 3 hours on a whim. I was able photograph to my hearts extent. At the beginning of this adventure my pants were black but when we left they were white. I have never been so salty in my life!

If you ever visit, whether it be for a photoshoot of a life time or just passing through, be prepared to get SALTY! My camera gear warns you.

My husband and friends were there shooting for about 2 hours, at the end of the day the sunset was incredible!

The blues, pinks, and purples wrapped around my boy Punk. I will cherish that photo of him forever. The reflections made amazing photographs, little ripples of Sunday dance in the water below.

I beg you to get pictures done when they're young, remembering the clumsy puppy days is something that is too often taken for granted .

Pet photography is so much more than those two words, it's the splashing of puppy paws running at you full force, crashing into you and the tumbling, laughter and then the slobbery kisses that come after.

You'll see me talk about it in more blog posts to come but its so so important. I have hundreds of photos of my Norwegain elkhound Punk, hundreds and hundreds, but I know when he grows old and doesn't move as quick, when his snout collects the grey hairs of an old dog . I will want to look back on the adventures we adventured the times we tumbled around and laughed the times he might of barked a little too loud, used the bathroom at a not so good time. I want to remember those times, I can capture those, proudly, boldly and with a heart full of love, a heart knowing that dog was a good dog .

Now that I'm drowning in my own tears, here are more photos to enjoy.

I think that will be all for today, give your dog a hug and a kiss from me! Thank you for reading, please don't wait, and if you find a place of another planet please go!

Did someone say confetti?

Oh hi there!

The absolute feelings of joy you may feel when looking at this photo are perfectly normal. The sensation of cupcakes, lottery winning, and piñata smacking. All normal.

This party was held at https://www.healthypetssummitcounty.com for their 2nd anniversary!

Let me ramble on to you about why I love doing things like this. Firstly, the absolute superwomen who owns Healthy pets. Heide makes me giggle my donkey off.

Second, I get to meet all the crazy dog people. My favorite kind of people. It makes my heart so happy watching these people beam about their dogs. All the things they've done that day. The accomplishments. Getting all the best info about the best trainers, best treat makers, best dog boarding. It's like a super secret meeting but everyone and their dog are invited.

Lastly, the dogs. Pshhh. ( That's my favorite part.)

How many dogs?

I need a drum roll please *badumbadumbadumm*

42. Forty two. Cuarenta y dos. 42 amazing whole dogs.

In between the models I was ferociously eating string cheese and thanking the lord above.

I don't have a favorite for that day but Mrs Marian. The one and only Marian.

Doesn't she just take your breath away? Sighhhhhh. What a gal. There will definitely be a Basset Hound in my future.

Well, I think that's all for today my friends.

Here is a little medicine in the form of confetti pooches.

Framed!

I got the cool opportunity to write a paragraph for https://bayphoto.com . If you haven't heard of them, I suggest you run to their website and be totally awe struck.

I've always been weary with canvases. It's been pushed into my brain even as a kid. I remember thinking at how dull they all seemed. Making the actual photo look pixelated and not true. Getting into the huge world of photography and professional printing labs, Bayphoto was always highly recommend.

Stomping down my fears, I ordered myself a 16x20 framed canvas. Holy cow. Perfection.

There. I said it. How could your socks not be absolutely blown off?

Reef doesn't wear socks.

If he did, they would be in outer space.

Other than dogs + photography I am super duper passionate about the ~outdoors~

This here mountain is my most favorite mountain. Paws down.

While we were there with Reef and his doggy sister Coral, Caden and I shared some of our little stories and adventures we've had there.

From the time we lost our keys in the vast, vast field. We were there for about an hour angrily and sweatily searching.

The time we tried to go through a small looking puddle that turned out to be a small lake. The water was up to the door handles. We had to call his dad to rescue us, and so he did. The best father in law award goes to Rob every time. His truck is so massive it drove right through the small ocean and pulled us out. I don't know who was steaming more, our explorer or Caden. Grand old times.

We camped up there recently and I was in charge of picking a movie to watch on the iPad. I'm not a good movie picker outer. It was some vampire horror nonsense that made me giggle. Horror isn't supposed to make you giggle.

Coral being pure magic.

Magic is certain word I love to use but never lightly.

Only when the light is just right, when the sound coming from the photo is loud. I love taking loud photos. All ears and nose.

This place is so special to me. Better than Disneyland. My favorite mountain.

Magic.
