One of my favorite families...

I had the pleasure of meeting one of my favorite families to do their Christmas pictures. We had a great time. I experienced a few "firsts" while doing this shoot. I had never had a family pet in the shot and it was fun. Usually during my family shoots with small children, I have to bark, clap, chirp, whistle...you know, silly stuff. So I was excited that I had the chance to just say, "smile" and get on with business, but Tex had other plans.



I spent a good bit of my time there saying, "Tex, treat? Tex! Tex, treat? Tex, squirrel. Tex...Tex. Tex, treat?" All of those worked like magic, until we tried, "Tex, walk?" Yea...he wanted to walk.



I say this is one of my favorite families because they are so loving and close. I love the bond that the sweet brothers have.



I love how close the boys are.



And I totally adore the way mom and dad feel about each other. They are a true inspiration to me.



Thanks for giving me the chance to help you preserve your precious memories. I had a great time.

I have been slacking big time, but guess what?!?

We had a picture chosen to be in a catalog! I am doubly excited about this because a) I took the picture, and b) the picture is of my baby girl.

If you have never heard of Happy Blankie before, you need to go check them out. Not only do they have the most precious blankies ever, when you buy a blanket for yourself, you get a code to enter and they send a blanket to a child in need. That makes me smile.

Just like this picture makes me smile.

I love it when kids have their own ideas of how they want their pictures to be done. It makes them happy, which makes me happy!
