This is one fabulous family! Big sister Hannah, who is 10, with her gorgeous smile and so very sweet little giggle that just warms your heart! And, Mr.Chase, who just finished 2nd grade in the same class as my daughter…who all night long just was lovin’ this photo session and wanted his photo taken any and everywhere I was willing! And, little Mia, who was quiet and demure the entire evening but when she smiled just lit up the place! I so enjoyed my time with these siblings who obviously adore one another, take care of each other, and enjoy laughing together. It was my joy to spend time capturing their world for them! And, not to mention the fun of photographing siblings with some of the most BEAUTIFUL eyes I’ve seen in quite some time. Looooooove!!! Enjoy your sneak peek….so many more to come! 🙂

To be honest, there’s not much cuter to me than dogs. I just LOVE them so much. Such a special part of my family as well as so many others. My amazing and beautiful neighbor, Kim, is absolutely phenomenal at getting photographs taken of her family and capturing these special days before they are gone. I mean, she’s G.R.E.A.T. at it! This sweet family lives next door to me, and I just adore them. The purpose behind this session was to photograph the kids with their dogs. When we first scheduled the session, it was to be just for their oldest Golden Retriever, Kenai, who is 11.5 years old…just to capture the love between kids and dog. But, in the months since this session was first scheduled, this family has added another sweet pumpkin’ to their bunch….”little” Samson, who is still a “baby” at just 4.5 months. Love, love, love!

And, of course, since we were all together and everyone dressed cute, we grabbed a few of the kids and Kim, too. Thank you, sweet friends, for the opportunity of photographing your family! All of them! 🙂

Now, for the doggies! First up, the elder of the group, Kenai!

And, the little man…Samson!

Little boys! Just love them! And, just turned two-year-olds are in a class all their own! This adorable, big ol’ blue eyed gorgeous little man is Bryant! He just turned two-years-old recently, and I’ve been photographing him since he was just days old. I can hardly believe how big he is now. He is quite possibly the most well-mannered little guy I’ve met in quite some time. His “no, thank you” and “yes m’am” just stole my heart. Thank you, Heather and Russell for continuting to give me the opportunity to watch you little man grow up through my camera lens. Ya’ll are just a precious family! 🙂

And, to finish up our morning, we photographed Bryant in his Great-Grandfather’s rocking chair. I just LOVE every one of these photos. Cutie-pie! 🙂

How do I love this next one? Oh, let me count the ways! 🙂
