Dailey family portrait

I photographed the Dailey family in the studio last week. Liam (the baby) and Augie (the dog) were so cute together. I had to be quick to get this first series in the chair together! I love how in the chair series the dog and the baby are both looking around in the same way, until the last shot in opposite directions. Squeakie toys work great for both this age group and dogs. It's funny because Liam prefers dog toys over his own toys and I am told at home it's his preference too.



Liam's favorite word is WHHHHOW!


What incredible blue eyes!





Some daddy time.





Parents make the funniest faces when talking to their children!








I have a feeling these two are going to be best buds for a long time.

Harley and Duke the dogs

I am so excited for these bulldog photos! Harley the bulldog puppy is like the cutest little old man. He snorts and grunts and has a mind of his own. I just want to squish him up! Duke, his friend the cocker Spaniel came in at the same time for a studio shoot (even though Harley beats up on Duke already!) This family was so much fun. You guessed it, his dad rides a Harley Davidson motorcycle. He'll have to bring the motorcycle for a shot when Harley is all grown up.

























I though Harley was just hiding but I caught him being bad chewing!

Stefanie and Kevin's engagement/doggie session

Stephanie and Kevin are getting married next month at Mendenhall Inn. I was so happy they brought their two dogs, Daisy and Kendall along for the engagement session. These two are in love with their dogs! I had a great time getting to know the bride and groom but also getting to know the dog's personalities too. Daisy is the hyper, sweet one with lots of licks and Kendall is the more reserved "older" soul. (It's too funny because my two dogs are very similar.) The dogs are going to be with Stefanie when she is getting ready for the wedding, can't wait!

a doggie proposal

I got to photograph another amazing proposal! Documenting this moment was such an honor for me, I am tearing up as I write this post. John and Stephanie met me last summer at an event at the Piazza. He told Stephanie that he hired me to photograph their beloved dog Cosmo the yellow lab. Little did she know Cosmo and John had a plan for that day! After photographing the dog for a while I got Stephanie to turn around and look at some photos while John put a sign around Cosmo's neck that said" Will you marry daddy?" Then John got down on his knee with a ring. Stephanie was totally surprised and shocked! I think Cosmo knew something special was going on, he sat so good looking up at them the whole time.




















The actual moment.
