On Saturday I went to the home of Koda and Charlie [and Grace the cat].  Photographing an excited and leggy puppy isn’t quite as easy as it may seem. But we had some good laughs and I got some puppy kisses too! Koda was such a good sport and Charlie wanted a few minutes in the spotlight too!

Koda really wanted a nap in the sun. The window panes gave off a nice criss-cross pattern – not the look I was going for but how can I say no to this face?!

And Charlie does tricks! Gosh he’s cute!

Thanks for letting me visit guys!

I love when the snowflakes fall down perfectly formed and so gently from the sky. Paired with the felted knit mittens that my mama gave me for Christmas, they look beautiful!

and some on Connor’s shaggy hair too!

I’ve spent plenty of time the last few weeks not feeling very well and always find comfort in cat naps in the sun on my bed. Silly Millie, she beat me to it this day. I was hoping to get out and venture around town some for my weekly photos but these will have to do for this week.

She stole my spot

And then she saw me

But she really is the cutest

The cuteness was overflowing on Sunday at the Plains Art Museum with this way too cute family. We giggled and laughed through the whole session and I just had a really great time. I just love my job!

Week 2 is a few days behind this week – thanks to the digestive flu running through me and my son and strep throat in my daughter. What a week this was for sure! We’re all back to healthy now and I took advantage of the awesome ice fog to photograph the hoar frost nearby.

And then the clouds broke and revealed an amazing blue sky! The view from my deck.

Baby Hudson made his arrival in the middle of a blizzard but he’s so cute and snuggly and sure warms up the room in a hurry!

This family got together for the holidays this year and asked me to photograph their family all together. With 4 young kids, 6 adults and 2 dogs – that was quite a challenge but we had a fun time and got some great shots. I pulled a handful of images to show off for the family.

Thank you all for allowing me into your home to photograph your family!
