It feels good to give back..

I got to spend my morning today, with some precious dogs from Hillcrest Animal Rescue.   Anyone who knows me, knows how much I love animals (especially dogs).  I feel so blessed to share our home with our wonderful dogs.  They give so much and ask so little.   The sweet dogs below have not been so lucky.  They need loving homes.  Every one of them was a lovebug and I wish I could have adopted them all.  If you are considering adopting a dog, please contact Karen at (469) 363-6433.  She does an amazing job with all of the animals, but the goal is to find them homes where they can get all of the love and attention that they deserve. Please pass this info on if you know anyone who is looking for a pet.  Tell Karen I sent ya!

These sweet dogs, in order, are:  Remus, Benny, Herbie, Dakota, Grizzly, Cuervo, Lauriox, and Cleo.

Vicky and Dave

What a fun pregnancy session from this weekend!  Vicky and Dave were so easy to work with.  And those precious shoes.  They were a gift from a special Aunt and traveled all the way from Taiwan for this baby.

Is this baby yummy, or what?

What a fun way to end off my week before leaving on vacation (San Francisco here we come!).

I have done sessions for this little one since Mommy was pregnant with her.  And I have more fun at each session.

I love how they look when they are in their own little space:

And is this not the living definition of “bootylicious”?…or as her mom says “she’s got a great bedonkadonk”…

And then, one of my very favorites:

Christy, Drew, and Velvie…thank you so much for trusting me with your most precious memories. I am always humbled by that.

How much do I love this baby?

I l-o-o-o-v-e her.  I would keep her if I could.  I had such a fun day with little Lilah and her mommy Sarah.  I just adore them both and cannot think of a nicer way to spend my  morning.  So, I’m warning you early..there’s a bunch of pics today because I just couldn’t choose a favorite!

How cute is this little bunny-girl?

Love these too!

This one just makes me smile…she looks like she is wondering what Chica is thinking.

And, I have to add this one because Lilah is one of my littlest fans!

Fun today!

I had such fun with Isobel today.  And it was nice to see her new house!  I love this pic because she is just learning to stand and she gets so proud of herself when she is “walking”.  It is just heartwarming.

And she was so, so cute in her little hat…

And, of course, I still love the stunning, classic black and white…

Thanks, Caryn and Isobel, for a fun morning.  And Caryn, thanks for lending me the books too!  I’ll have great choices to read on the way to San Francisco!
