I’ll start this off by saying I do NOT offer pet photography – lol – this session was a cardio workout and a half! I specialize in photographing newborn babies of the human variety at my studio, from maternity through baby’s first year. 🙂

That said, I am very pleased to announce the arrival of my newest family member, a baby girl golden doodle (half golden retriever and half standard poodle). She was born on Christmas Eve and came home on Valentine’s, so she is extra, extra special. This sweet little girl won’t be so little for much longer, so with the help of my eldest daughter, we took some portraits to commemorate the new “baby”!

She’s only 7.5 lbs, but one day she’ll be about 50 lbs, and with any luck (and some committed training) she will remain as calm and sweet as she currently is. This pup is CHILL! She gets passed around like a present in public, and she is so peaceful and tolerant of people of all ages and personalities. We are so lucky to have her!

ps. Check out her heart shaped nose!!

I can’t help but feel like spring is right around the corner. I planted a couple hundred daffodil, hyacinth, and lily of the valley bulbs in the fall, and their green tops are popping up all over the gardens. It makes me happy – as does this recent portrait of Daphne at her 6 month sitter session at my Langley studio!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
