Working from home

Here is a little glimpse into my life. I have a job this weekend for an event at the Clackamas Town Center Macy's for Mother's Day Portraits. While I am really excited about this, I am FREAKING OUT about getting all my ducks lined up. I think I have everything ready to go, but there is always that little thing that refreshes the challenge.
I didn't feel like working in my office today, so I am editing photos and typing correspondence from my couch (recliner) and listening to music.
I was doing some research on the net, and looked over to see my dog, Neo, in his favorite position - spread eagled on the couch with his head on a pillow. I figured that I needed a picture of that. I have lots of pictures of the mutt doing his thing, but I just watched a show about some photographers, and was reminded of the Marilyn Monroe photos when I saw Neo. Obviously, Norma Jean was more beautiful and more elegant, but what can you do?
One of my favorite things about working from home (I don't drive to my Portland studio unless I need to) is that I get to hang with my pets and give Neo more attention. He's finally coming out of his slump after losing his sister, Daisy. I like to think that I am also doing my part for the environment by not driving the 20 some odd miles to the studio in my truck.
This isn't the most elegant lighting. I didn't want him to move while I set up my stands and strobes to light him with some pizazz. He's one of those dogs that if I'm up and moving around, he has to follow to see what I'm doing. Maybe I'm getting food or going outside for something. I had to sneak to my camera bag to get my camera and strobe, and was lucky that he only woke up and didn't move.
