It was so much fun to meet this beautiful family! Sarah and Ryan have a newborn baby girl who was four weeks at the time of this shoot and who did a stellar job modeling in a variety of adorable outfits (also swaddled in an adorable Chicago-themed blankie). She’s being carefully watched over by her two older sisters, a Goldendoodle named Bella and a Bernadoodle named Daisy, who absolutely love their new addition. Bella and Daisy also absolutely loved me, and the feeling was mutual. They are such sweet pups! They did their best job modeling for photos alongside their new sister in their very gorgeous home. Everyone was so excited for Baby Girl’s arrival and for her photoshoot, and I’m so glad I got to be a part of documenting the early days of their family together.
I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve photographed Big Dog Little Bed but if you’re looking to book me for branding photos, Janice is one of the reasons I got back into the branding photo game after taking a few years off, so you have her and her adorable dogs to thank for my return. Janice is an incredible videographer that I had the pleasure to meet when Geoff and I were shooting weddings. We became friends and have worked together in several different capacities since, as well as enjoy cheering for our husbands on their sandlot baseball team. For those of you familiar with my old shoots of BDLB, you might realize that there is a new set of doggos on this shoot. The old BDLB doggos have since passed and we miss them very much, but we welcome with open arms the fresh faces of Layla Bean (little dog) and Bernie (big dog) on this shoot! I’ve photographed Layla Bean before, but this was my first time photographing the Bern, and she didn’t disappoint. She is a sweet dog who does a great job cramming herself into a little bed on command. So happy to do these new branding photos for my friends at BDLB in their gorgeous office with the new pups!
