I love including pets in a shoot for a couple of reasons.  While it may seem stressful to the owners…I think it actually relaxes everyone as the focus is not all on them.  What a great afternoon with this sweet family and their fabulously large creatures.

I can’t believe it…this little Christmas cutie is more excited about her 1-year birthday than Santa…well, maybe.  Such a fun morning with your and your puppies!

All boy…all the time.  I LOVE it.  Boys will be boys and if you try to hold back the rough and tough..well that just isn’t any fun.  Always a good time with this family and I cannot wait to meet the new parti!

I had such a great time with these three sisters.  The personalities so different but all so sweet and engaging.  I love how Mama didn’t dictate the wardrobe and let each be themselves.  Perfect.  Thanks for such a fun and energetic afternoon…it was a delight.

It may be time to Deck the Halls…but I do love the practical jokes that come out of this household.  So…in keeping with the pranking spirit…we dug deep into your trunk, Dan.  You’re welcome.

Too funny what comes out of the mouths of babes…I have plenty of similar stories from when mine were little.  Enjoyed our morning together and so glad we beat the rain!

My connection with this sweet family is along the lines of 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon with about 35 years in between.  I used to babysit his cousins when they were teeny tiny…fast forward 30 some-odd years and I was his sister’s photographer at her wedding.  Thank you for our morning playdate!

It is that time of year when everyone is ready to check this off their list.  The card race is on…and if you’re anything like me…it’s a race against myself and my to-do list.  I want it done!  Most of the time…this cobbler’s family has no shoes…and cards don’t gets out.  We shall see this year.

We don’t always start a shoot with smiles…but when we shoot, we have fun.

Mama and Daddy…you should be so proud as you have a household full of delightful children.  Cheers to you!

We escaped the storm by minutes…and got it done!  I loved my visit with you all albeit brief!
