Peter + Family Sneak Peek

As I keep mentioning, I decided to order a Christmas background and take some personal photos this year. I figured since I had it, I may as well put it to use and offered to take photos for a handful of friends and co-workers. One of my co-workers decided to take me up on the offer and brought his whole family along for the fun.

I've known Peter for about 8-9 years. I worked with him years ago, shortly after relocating to Arizona, but I had lost touch with him when I left the office where we worked together. When I made a job change back in July 2019 it was a pleasant surprise to find out that Peter was at the new office. It's been a pleasure working with him again!

Please allow me to introduce you to Peter, Sam, Kenzie and Masen:

I have to say that they did an awesome job planning what to wear!  I love how the black stands out against the blue and white of the background!

I love this one of Kenzie laughing...

I told the kids to give me their best attitude faces. They did petty good, didn't they?...

LOVE Masen's smirk!...

Look at those handsome guys!...

And gorgeous girls!...

Peter's brother, Josh, and his new girlfriend joined in for some photo fun, too!...

And so did Peter's parents!...

Aren't they just the cutest?...

A little wardrobe change...

I just love both of these next two photos of the kids with their parents and then grandparents...

How fun are these outfits?!...

And a few more just for fun...

Thank you guys for allowing me to capture these photos for you! It was fun getting to know you all a bit better.

Floyd + Monkey + Gazoo's Sneak Peek

As I mentioned a few days ago, I bought this photo background so I could take photos of us and the dogs but since I had it, I figured I might as well get some use out of it and offered to take photos for a few friends and coworkers.  One of my close friends, Janice, wasn't up for getting in front of the camera herself but volunteered her dogs for the job.

Kevin and I spend a lot of time with Janice, her husband, Jeff, and their pack of pups, so I already know these three cuties pretty well.  This first guy is Floyd who came to Janice and Jeff through someone who needed to rehome him.  It was a perfect fit because Janice loves hounds and had recently lost her beloved blue tick coonhound, Jaeger.  She decided to meet Floyd and it was love at first sight!

And is it any wonder?  Who could resist this cutie?...

And this adorable little guy is Monkey. He came to Janice and Jeff through the rescue that Janice and I volunteered at together (which is also how I met her). Monkey came to them as a puppy and was supposed to be a short term foster. However, when it was time for him to go up for adoption, Jeff declared, "This one is staying!" and the rest, as they say, is history!

And really, is it any surprise? That's a whole lot of adorable in a tiny little package!....

And last, but certainly not least, is Gazoo. This little guy came to them when they unexpectedly lost one of their other dogs and they decided Monkey needed a young playmate. I have to admit that there is just something about Gazoo that I adore. I think it is his ears and that curly tail!

Janice, thank you for allowing me to capture these photos of your adorable dogs!
