I love taking pictures of all of our alpacas, horses and other critters here on our ranch. The alpacas are especially fun to photograph. If you would like to learn more about alpacas we would love for you to visit us at
My digital cameras include my new Pentax K-5 as well as my older camera a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30. My cameras also take short movie clips so if you would like to see the alpacas in action visit alpaca videos.
If you would like to buy prints, cards, or other things with my photos please visit my Walnut Ceek Gift Shop at Zazzle. I use high quality digital images for the products in the gift shop. Here on Flickr my photos are condensed for easy viewing.
My most popular photo here on Flickr with over 15,000 views... Calendar Girl!
Now everyone knows Calendar Girl as the Taylor Lautner alpaca. Someone put Calendar Girl’s photo together with a photo of Taylor Lautner. We do not know how it started but in a short time the picture went viral on the internet.
I used her picture for the cover of our alpaca picture book,

I also included a few more pictures of her inside the book as well.
