Will Pose For “Cookies”
This session was one I was really really excited for…..as it combines three things I love. 1- Outdoor winter fun, 2- Photographing families at play, 3- a PUPPY! and an Aussie puppy no less. I love dogs. Like crazy love them. If you’ve ever had a session with me, and you have a dog- you’ve seen 1st hand how I just HAVE to talk to/pet/play with the dog, and most dogs love me. I’ve only met one so far who didn’t- and you know who you are- SHILOH! 
When the mom contacted me for the session I was thrilled! I’m a firm believer that when you live in MN, you have to embrace the climate- which means playing in the snow! I love love LOVE photographing outdoor snow play- there’s just something about bright colors, red cheeks, and the bright white surroundings… love it! Some of my favorite photos of my own kids are in the winter playing outside.
I cannot express how much I wanted to steal Scout away. Isn’t he ADORABLE!?? He reminds me so much of my own Aussie at this age- except much, much smaller and shy. He was a little wary of me at first- but once he found out I had “cookies” in my pocket (i.e. Pupperoni) he decided I was okay
With his kids
What’s funnier than throwing snow on mom? I love everything about this photo…
One of my faves from the day:
Thanks G family for a wonderful afternoon- you are a great family- and I will never forgot the scene of watching the 4 of you try to catch the dog…..seriously so funny- I wish I had videotaped it
