Charlene and James || Family Portraits

I have a confession to make.  I am a cat person.  My family has always had cats and I have a lovely calico named Patches.  After this session, I am now firmly a dog person.  Willing to trade my children for well behaved dogs? yes. almost.  I withheld the temptation to ask the name of the obedience school - but only because my eldest was with me patiently passing out doggie treats on command - I rewarded him with treats.

Charlene and James are east coast transplants.  I'm told all important life events (ei. weddings etc.) are accompanied by rain.  True to form, we faced record rain the day of their scheduled photo session.  Thankfully this lovely park was spared any flooding and all gloominess was sent into hiding at the sight of these adorable puppies!
