Kristin & Chris were SO much fun to photograph.  They are absolutely adorable together, have a beautiful home and were so easy going and relaxed.  They made my job a breeze!  Also, I absolutely fell in love with their dog, Shelby.  Isn’t she just beautiful!?  (btw, shout out to their sweet cat, Barry White, as well!  ;) )

To top it all off, I received a wonderful email from Kristin soon after the session.  It really made me smile and I thought I would share it:

“I’ve been meaning to email you – we had an absolute BLAST on Monday!!  You really are so easy to work, super creative, and believe it or not (most importantly) you made us really comfortable.  I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!!!!   I haven’t even seen the pictures yet, but the funny thing is I don’t even have to…  you gave us the unique gift of having that experience together.  Thank you a million times for that.”

All I have to say to that is….right back at you both! It was such a wonderful experience for me as well.  You clearly are going to be wonderful parents and I am very excited for you both!

He has been a great “model” for me over the years… and I wanted to share just just a few from some portraits that I took recently.

This is for all of you dog lovers out there….  especially chocolate lab lovers!
