This family has been really fun to watch grow. I photographed Mom’s senior portraits when she worked with me as an assistant, baby K’s big brother when he was a baby, and big sister when she was a newborn. Needless to say, this gorgeous family did not disappoint! From the color choices to incorporating their new puppy and Dad’s motorcycle I’m in love with everything about this session.
I love so many of the photos from his session…the smiles, baby k’s eye contact, and the puppy Zeus…. So perfect!

The lab where these took place is having some website issues, but as soon as we can see the other winners, I will post them here, too. Congratulations, everyone! Thanks for participating and voting! =)
And since we did not do the local portion of the Pawsitively Adorable as it was mostly my assistant’s dogs and family pets, and I had not posted the Pawsitively Adorable images, these are the other images we submitted. So they each received a 16×20 print from their session.
