National Puppy Day!

To be honest, I didn't even know there was a National Puppy Day until I saw it on Boo's (World's Cutest Dog...*however, I beg to differ*) Facebook status. Why do I follow a dog on Facebook you ask? Well someone has to keep eyes on the competition (and Einstein hasn't really mastered the internet, or a keyboard - no thumbs)!

So, to celebrate National Puppy Day, I thought it was only appropriate to post a new photo of Einstein. Hope you guys are having a great Friday, have a fabulous weekend!

Melissa + Dave [North Liberty Maternity Photography]

Melissa and Dave's session took place on one of the most gorgeous March days I can remember, and lucky for me they were up for changing their originally scheduled indoor shoot to outdoors. We met at Kent Park and had a wonderful session, soaking up the beautiful sunset.

Not only are these two gorgeous on the outside, but on the inside as well. They are expecting their first child in late April, and I'm thrilled to be photographing the little one once he or she arrives! Honestly, this has to be one of my favorite sessions, Melissa looks AMAZING (seriously, I hope I look half as good if I ever have children!) and I love, love, LOVE the way they look at each other. I have so many favorites that it was incredibly difficult to narrow these down for the blog.

Melissa and Dave - thank you so much for allowing me to document this exciting time in your lives. I am so excited to meet your new addition! I hope you like the sneak peek...

They brought their two little pups, Kauai and Lila (hopefully I spelled those right!) - such sweeties!

Extreme Makeover: Einstein Edition

Although I love the shaggy look on my little Bubba, he always seems a lot more comfortable after a visit to the groomer. It's always such a huge difference between his two looks, that he almost doesn't look like the same puppy! I thought it would be funny to take a before and after shot this time since his last grooming appointment was right around Thanksgiving. Which version of Ein do you prefer?
