I got a email inquiry last month that made me smile. Kimberly emailed asking if I could do photos of her and her college age brother and their dog as a special holiday surprise for their parents. It had been many years since their family had been professionally photographed and there were none really reflecting the adults they had grown into. She wanted to give their parents something she knows they would love, and I thought it was an awesome idea. I know when I slip my mother in law a photo of my husband she adores it. Kids may grow up, but they are always someones baby right! I also loved that they included their parents dog too, because you know when the kids move out the dogs often become the new baby of the family!
Well despite the sporadic rain we met this weekend to do a full session, cute dog and all. We tromped all over the George Fox University campus and did our best to have fun and capture some great fall colors. Here are a few of my favorites so far!
Isn’t Candy adorable! Such a sweet old girl.
It was so fun to have a big sister/little brother on hand to get some real laughs and smiles out of these two. 🙂
They even threw in some OSU pride in the shoot. Something that is apparently still very important to the parents. Go Beavers! (wait I am a PSU Viking I can’t say that!)
Kimberly & Scott I had a great time meeting both of you, Thanks for being flexible with the crazy Oregon weather. You two are hilarious together, you made the dreary afternoon lots of fun, and of course Candy! I am sure she was wiped out for hours after so much activity. I will have the rest of the set for you very soon.
And because it is the holiday season lets do another comment challenge! Kim & Scott if you can get 30 people to comment on this blog post I will give you a $25 print credit towards one of the coffee table style books you guys liked! Happy commenting!
