A Girl & Her Dog
One nice thing about going back to see the same families is I know things about them...With this family, I remember when this dog had two eyes ;) I remember the email they sent me telling me that he'd lost one and how happy they were to have pictures of him from before that. I know how much this little girl loves her dogs...I know that she sings with them. And, last year, she cuddled with the smaller one...
I love this family...so like my own in some ways. Our wedding anniversaries are so close, our kids are almost exactly the same age...we KNOW each other's parenting issues ;) And, it is such a treat to visit with them once a year...

Sunshine and Snow
And a new baby on the way...a warm winter afternoon in Canmore is always a fabulous backdrop for images. Even if I don't show you the ones with the mountains ;)
A sneaky peeky for a mama who will soon be holding that baby in her arms.
~ Enjoy!

Then and Now
This is from their first or second session(wish I knew...)...way back THEN:
And, then, this is from today...right at the end of the session when we decided to go outside for a few:
It is such a pleasure to watch them grow...and I will admit to getting a bit choked up when I saw how big they were this year. I see them every year...for the last 5 or 6 years. And, in their house they have a hallway that is the 'Short and Sweet' gallery...there are other canvases scattered around, too...a reminder of just how long it's been. They grow too fast.
