Spartan was super special to Andrea.  We did a session with her and Spartan so she could remember his spunky personality and how much of a ham he is for the camera.  With old age it was time for him to go, but meeting him he sure was a free spirit. I love seeing the […]

Lyza and Josie were such fun models for their photoshoot.  We kind of planned it on a whim and they both ended up with the same dress which was really cute.  Dolly and Gus were troopers putting up with these two crazy little girls but it was totally worth it to get some fun pictures […]
