Prairie Creek Park - Richardson, TX

Any time I get the opportunity to photograph a family and their dogs...I'm pretty excited. Birdie and Abe were certainly the stars of the show...as they should have been! Look how cute they are :-D  This couple and their two pups were just adorable. We had fun walking through Prairie Creek Park in Richardson and snapping some photos with all the trees. Fall is truly my favorite time for photos...and this park is great for it. Hope y'all enjoy!

Man's Best Friend

It's no secret that I love dogs. Our own dog McCrady is pretty much our child...and we try and take her everywhere. It's always great fun for me to photograph family pets. 

I grew up with perhaps the BEST Golden Retriever to ever live. We lost him this year...but he lived 14 amazing years of life. From the woods and lakes of Washington State...to the beaches of South Carolina...and the open fields of Texas and Nebraska...he lived everywhere. There wasn't ever a squirrel he didn't try to chase!

Then there's my favorite Beagle Cooper and his big brother...Max the black lab. They recently welcomed a baby sister to their family...and they've been GREAT dog sibblings :-D

And of course my sweet baby McCrady...because I take way too any pictures of her :-D

National Dog Day

In honor of National Dog Day, I decided to honor my favorite Golden Retriever McCrady. 

She's our sweet puppy that we refer to as our "Humane Society Special." We adopted her from the Rockwall Animal Adoption Center (http://rockwalladoptions.com/) about 1.5 years ago and she has been the greatest blessing. When we first met her, she was matted behind the ears, 15 pounds under weight, and had heartworms...but we were ready to take care of that right away :-D

Now she's healthy as can be and enjoys running with her dad on weekends and camping all over Texas and Oklahoma. Not to mention snuggling on the couch. She has come a long way from the parking lot they found her in :-D  Hope y'all are taking a moment to hug your sweet dogs today too!
