Abby’s Saturday // 2021 Blooper Reel

Abbys Saturday Bloopers from 2021 Silly Photos of a Black Lab

Welcome to my FAVORITE blog post of the entire year!!
It’s the Abby’s Saturday BLOOPER blog post! Cue the confetti – yayyyy!

So, let me give a tiny bit of background: once upon a time, before we had children – I looked around for a way to consistently practice & grow my photography skills. Thankfully, our sweet puppy stepped up to the plate & off I went on a journey of photographing my dog every single week.

When I started taking “Abby’s Saturday” photos (back in 2013) – I had literally zero intention as to how far I would go. In other words: I did not have a goal in mind (it wasn’t a “Project 52” or anything). I simply wanted to pull my camera out every single week & take fun photos of our sweet pup to practice my skill of photography.

And well, here we are: EIGHT AND A HALF YEARS LATER.

These weekly photos have evolved from being just a simple photo on my blog with no words (a check-mark to say I’d “blogged”) to now including a short write-up about our week (and some weeks – those write-ups are long). And I love it.

That doesn’t mean it isn’t hard. Believe me – it is brutal sometimes to come up with new ideas or to make my subjects (which over the years have grown to include not just Abby, but Braelynn & Leander as well) cooperate with the vision I have in my head.
But, here’s the thing: as many times as I’ve considered giving this “practice” up (and I’ve honestly strongly considered it at certain points), I just can’t stop. Especially when I look back at the “series” of photos I’ve taken – there are certain photos I take every single year & having those photos of our sweet Abby-dog and our kids is absolutely priceless to me – and worth every single ounce of hard work, sweat, and work that these photos are.

To this point, I have published 385 Abby’s Saturday photos – but there are literally thousands of images that I take that never get posted. Some are simply not good images, some concepts I have just don’t work out, sometimes I can’t get all parties to cooperate, and then some photos simply end up in the “blooper reel” – and that’s what today is all about!
ENJOY a little peek “behind-the-scenes” of what really happens behind the curtain for these Abby’s Saturday photos!

Disclaimer: No Black Labs, little girls, or little boys were hurt or injured in any way due to the circumstances of these photos – I promise.

And one more thing: after looking thru today’s post, you’ll definitely want to go back & see the Blooper Reels I’ve posted over the last 5 years (I didn’t post bloopers until 2016 – I never thought of it before that)! Not only are they hilarious, but Braelynn & Leander are SO tiny in year’s past! I’m so thankful for these weekly photos of our lovable (so patient & tolerating) pup & our quickly growing sweet girl & sweet boy!
