These two photographs are what started it all. This is MIA, my two year old Chihuahua-mix. I took her outside our front yard on a summer afternoon. I brought my camera outside and started snapping pictures, following her around. She started to chase a bug, then she stretch and rolled around the grass, and just seconds before she took up running I was able to snap one of my favorite and so-far, my best picture. I would have never been able to get her to pose like this for me.
