The B’s & Doggie Molly | Illinois Family & Pet Photographer

I always love when I’m asked to do family portraits including the family pet.  That old phrase “pets are people too” comes into play every time I start thinking about the upcoming portrait session.  Miss Molly took some coaxing, but she was full of smiles & wet kisses for me (and my camera lens.. lol)  Great meeting...

Not having met the H family prior  to their portrait session, I was hoping I would be able to make it a fun experience, since I knew the ages of the kiddos and they were in the tween ages..  From the sounds of their laughter, and even one w/ the giggles, I think they had...

Mr. A sure is moving through his 1st year of portraits very quickly!  I know his mommy & daddy think so too…  Can we rewind back to his newborn?  Or 3 month, or even 6 month ages?  Sooooo cute!  We couldn’t of asked for a more perfect fall afternoon to do A’s 9 month portraits.....
