“No matter how old you get, may you always stop to fill your pockets with smooth stones, empty snail shells & other little treasures.”
Meet: The Smalls
I will start by saying, I absolutely adore this family! Sarah and her family have been with me since I started my dog photographing adventure. I met Sarah and we instantly clicked. She and I met the first time for photos of her beautiful Great Dane dog, Daphne. Daphne is a huge goofball with a lot of personality and she holds an extra special place in my heart. I’ve always loved Great Danes and swore that would be my next dog, that is until I ended up in an apartment in the city.
Sarah and Trent’s son, Ben, was turning 3 years old! This is such a fun age unless you’re the one raising them. ;) As with any 3-year-old, Ben needed some bribing. Ben’s bribe of choice? Dinosaurs and pom-poms (the little colorful craft thingies). I won’t judge, my daughter was obsessed with Easter eggs (yes, year-round) and pine-cones. Ben did great with the bribing and brought tons of his personality to the session, which is what I strive for in every session!
Happy 3rd birthday, Ben! I hope to photograph this family through all of their milestones!
