    Boy + Girl + Rescue Dog = Photo Bliss

    Let me just start by saying that my photo session with Jen, Matt and their dog Abby this past weekend was probably the most relaxed session I think I've ever done. Jen and Matt wanted some relaxed portraits showing them in their normal setting, in and around their apartment in the high tech world of Davie, Florida (ok, maybe I embellished a little on that last part). Honestly, their apartment was the perfect setting for their portraits. I really got a feel from them as a family and could tell they enjoyed a stress free lifestyle.

    I mentioned in the title that their dog, Abby, is a rescue dog. Jen got her from a local dachshund rescue here in South Florida called DARE. You can check out their website at http://www.daretorescue.com/. Abby is a sweet little girl and was the highlight of the shoot. Here are a few photos from this weekend.



    I love this! The whole family, including the dog! Too Cute!


    Everyday life, taking Abby for a walk around the lake.


    I love what this photo implies. It shows the whole family in just the shadows.


    How could you say no to that face? If you are interested in saving the life of a dog like Abby, contact DARE today through their website!
