A mini shoot with my daughter
I know, I know. She's ADORABLE. So is the pup. That is my little girl, Zoe's best friend, Sophie. When my son, Knox passed away we knew Zoe would need someone to be a sturdy little rock for her, and someone to run her ragged and keep her busy. I also needed a little baby to love on, and a puppy did the job. Sophie has become a big part of our family over the last year and is a great pup. Other than the occasional accident (dogs anyways!?) she is just like a member of the family. She's in napping with Zoe right now actually. :-) Those two are inseperable!

Family Shoot:: Dabbs Family
We did a few shots in the house, but the kids were just dying to go outside. When we did, they showed me their chickens! Mcnugget (the rooster) was sort of a jerk, but all the hens let the kids hold them, and just hung out!
Over the course of the year that I've known her, I've been lucky enough to meet the whole family. Her husband, Jim is a caring dad-- and it shows everytime I saw him with the kids. All four of the kids, Alec, Carter, Elle & Viv have diamond personalities, but are the biggest lovers.
We did the shoot at their house, so the kids could play and everyone was comfortable. Without any studio experience, but mom experience I can't imagine a toddler would be all that happy to 'sit down, shut up and smile.' right?
When we tried for a brief few minutes to do things 'our' way... this is the look that Viv gave us, and we continued our morning... going about her business, not ours.
All the kids were just great for me-- which made it easy to do such a fabulous shoot!
Thank you so much Dabbs Family for letting me capture the day with your family! I had a blast with you guys!
