There’s something about being the first. She’s the newest addition to join this happy-go-lucky couple. Her expert first time mom can spill everything one needs to add to a registry in less than 2.5 seconds. The best part about Harper is that she smiles when she sleeps. I almost wanted her to be able to speak so we can find out what makes her glow. I personally think it might be dad. She totally has him wrapped around her little fingers.

Congrats Kate and Dru on your new little bundle of joy, Harper. Thanks so much for sharing such a fun afternoon meeting your family.

I’m a bad dog mom. I admit it. Things have been crazy this summer with travel and they are just as busy now with fall around the corner that I forget to take care of little things. But as I am catching up and gearing up, this past Labor Day was a perfect time to get those little things done; like getting our dog, Reese, to the groomers. Usually I hate the process of dropping her off some where she hates going and count down the hours until I can pick her up to find silly bows in her hair. You see, Reese is not a prissy Yorkie. Some might even say could have been a lab or a retriever. She loves open water where she can fetch you a stick. She is daring, sassy and loves attention. She is also the first dog I have ever owned in my adulthood and well, she means the world to me. I still can’t believe that she’ll be nine this year. But for now, she’s my little baby butter bean that I love seeing every time I come home.

And here’s a picture of Reese from this weekend all pretty and clean from the groomers.

And here’s the sweet face that always seems to know when 7:30pm hits and the treat jar comes out. Don’t worry – - she reminds me if I forget.

Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole. – Roger Caras

It all started with a giggle and maybe even a few lollipop. This 4th of July weekend was filled with family. Five families joined together; four sisters, two grandparents, four husbands and some super cute kids. There was no crying, only laughter on this cool summer day. Who could ask for a better day?

Thanks to everyone for such a great afternoon of jumping, smiling and just plain fun.

Over July 4th weekend, I headed up to the Peninsula in Lake Norman, NC to shoot five very fun and super friendly families. This sneak peek is of the four sisters and the their parents. Just wait until you see all the cute kids. More to come later this week.

Sometimes wrinkles are cute. And on a Monday after a weekend of fun, who doesn’t love these wrinkles?

We recently had a housewarming and Laker, our Boxer, was the hit of the party. He ate ice from the bucket with beers and wine, he sang everyone a song that walked through our door and at the end of the night, he crashed on the couch. Some say wrinkles come from worry, but not for this dog; his come from cuteness.
