Meet Kenzie

About 6 months ago I started volunteering at a local animal rescue. Since then I have been trying different roles to figure out the best fit for me within the organization. Ultimately I decided that I wanted to work hands on with the dogs, which lead me to try fostering.

I wasn't sure how Zoe and Lexi would take to having foster dogs in the house so I was a little apprehensive at first, but when I saw Kenzie at the rescue I just couldn't resisted opening up our home to her while she waited for her forever family.  Surprisingly, our dogs didn't bat an eye at having another pup in the house, so I definitely see more fostering in my future.

I wanted to do everything I could to help Kenzie get adopted, so I decided to take some photos of her to help promote her on social media.  Here are a few of my favorites, in no particular order:

If anyone happens to have an interest in adopting Kenzie, feel free to contact me for details.

McKenna's Sneek Peek

I was in Indiana for my brother-in-law's wedding in October and while I was there I took some senior photos for McKenna, who is the daughter of one my dearest friends.  I absolutely adore this girl (and her mom) and it was so awesome to see them again. I really wanted to pack both of them in my suitcase when I left and bring them back to Arizona with me!

I've been struggling to wrap my mind around the fact that McKenna is about to graduate from high school. Last time I took her photos was for her eleventh birthday and it feels like just yesterday! McKenna is an awesome student and has a great head on her shoulders.  Mark my words, she is going to go far in life! Someday when she's doing huge things, I'm going to be bragging that I knew her when she was just a toddler.

The poor girl has been waiting FOREVER to see these photos since it took me a while to get them edited.  So, please allow me to share with you a huge sneak peek (because after the wait she deserves to see a ton of her images) of the stunning McKenna:

I'm going to say it a bunch, but I just adore this image.  It's definitely on the top 10 list:

I love McKenna's freckles, aren't they awesome?...

McKenna, you are stunning!  I think you get more gorgeous every year...

Those eyes!  Seriously!...

A little sun flare fun...

I was excited that we were able to catch a little bit of fall color in her photos, even if we did freeze half to death while we were taking them...

Another favorite...

A little more fun with the sun flare...

This gate was always a favorite place to shoot when I lived in Fort Wayne...

Another fav...

Simply stunning...

Aren't these doors incredible?  I am in love with all of these images...

Another of my many favorites...

And another favorite.  Doesn't she have the cutest smile?...

McKenna has a really fun personality and was cracking me up with some of her poses...

GORGEOUS!...

Strike a pose...

Another favorite...

McKenna, Thank you for allowing me to take your senior photos for you! It was so great getting to see you again. Good luck with the rest of your senior year and with college next year. I'm sorry it took me so long to get this posted!
