The only thing cuter than a bulldog is a bulldog PUPPY! Kara had me out to photograph her crew of four bullies last year and when she got a bulldog puppy you better believe I was out there to document the new addition to the family. I loved him immediately. You can tell that Kara and Barry feel the same… It’s not hard to see how much joy he brings to the family. He has the typical ‘friendly to everyone’ bulldog personality. And those rolls, bulldog puppy rolls are just about the cutest things I’ve ever seen…

Who can resist rolls like this? Not I…

Yep, that’s right. Five dogs. Two pembroke welsh corgis, a lab, and two german shepherds. On a beautiful farm with a barn and horses and a deck overlooking ten acres of land. A pretty fabulous session if I do say so myself.

Leah mentioned how the pups will follow her out to the barn and while she’s tending to the horses she’ll often look over and see several heads peeking through the barn doors. Just like this…

Oh how I love these little legs…

This is the way that most sessions end… Modeling is HARD work, right Stella?

Sessions with multiple dogs are always interesting. Last weekend I got to do a session with five. I was super excited because I got to cross another breed off my “Dogs I’d like to shoot” list… Corgis! Those big ears and short legs!! Don’t let those short legs fool you though, these little guys are FAST! In fact, look who’s leading the pack…

*This is a sneak peek of a sneak peek… Check back this evening for more from this fun session!

  • ashley folkema - Wow! Five…what a session I am sure it was. Cannot wait to see more.

  • claire - holy cow, FIVE? i’ve never done five; i can’t even imagine! can’t wait to see the rest of these 🙂

There is something about being able to capture two people in love that I absolutely can’t get enough of. I love engagement sessions, weddings, and sessions just because. They let me into their lives and trust me to capture them. Together. And what is truly unique and beautiful about their relationship. I’m so thankful for these sessions… they make me happy, they make me love life, and they make me appreciate the love of my very own. This week you’ll get to see my favorite image from my couples sessions. Again, I’ll need your help choosing the FAVORITE of my favorites. So just leave a comment below with your choice…

Contest will go until January 24 at midnight and the owner of the favorite image will be awarded an 8×10 print (or 8×12 if I deem necessary) of the selected image!

Note: To ensure fairness in the contest, three comments per IP address will be counted as votes. Contest prize is contingent upon an already completed print order.

1. Dina + Dave

2. Ashley + Joe

3. Chris + Rachel (engagement session)

4. Deb + Tommy

5. Angela + Steve

6. Kailee + Trent

7. Kerry + Frank
