The Big Bas

Since I’ve been on a roll posting Weimaraners recently I should probably complete the set. This is our 14yr old senior Athena. She’s been featured here often, but the last few years just didn’t want to pose anymore. And I didn’t want to make her. So for her to cooperate for her birthday was extra special.

Last year we adopted Ghost, a 2yr old Weimaraner, after our 13yr old boy passed. As he’s settled in he is turning into a fantastic dog.
I took some shots when we just got him, but he didn’t enjoy the experience so I never posted them up. Today we tried again! Two treats in it seems like he’s done this for years.

And that’s a wrap for TheBigBas christmas season of 2026. Thank you everyone for slogging through this horrendous weather and choosing to spend your time with us. It truly is a joy, and we created such precious memories together.
It means a lot to me that I have so many clients that are as passionate about this as we are, and that we get to create these wonderful set pieces with amazing prints. Thank you to all the wonderful stores that invite us every year and the amazing staff showing up early and staying late to clear the store so we can turn it into a photo studio.

And of course, thank you to my lovely wife that not only works full days as a teacher wrangling unruly children but then spends her precious weekends dressed up as an elf wrangling unruly dogs, where sometimes the teacher voice has to come out as well.

I have a couple of long nights of editing ahead of me, and fretting over delivery services right before holiday deliveries, but it’s totally worth it.

A few more nights till Christmas!
And then I can sleep. And hibernate.
