“Life is like a rainbow. You need both the sun and the rain to make its colors appear.” ~ Anonymous

I had the vision for the shoot in my head, as I had driven by the crazy location on several occasions and thought, “wowsa!” And I had a Suburban full of little girls decked out in tutus, ready to play with me. Little did I know that I would have only 10 minutes to secure these super fun images before getting shooed off the public property. Just enough time to capture some colorful, canvas-worthy images for their bedrooms!

One of my favorite tutu images!

After a string of capturing clients’ dogs in their final days, I was so excited to hear about the highly anticipated arrival of a new puppy! I tell people to capture them early and often, just like babies: they grow up so fast, and before you know it they are bigger than ever. So we snuck in an afternoon portrait session at the family’s home with their old faithful, Dixie, and their new puppy, Shooter. These two boys are having the best time! And while I am at it, I wanted to share portraits from the families’ Christmas card, because you can never have enough tow-headed handsomness!
