Happy National Dog Day!

My friend Jess pointed out that today is National Dog Day (which was started in 2004 to recognize the massive number of shelter pets looking for a good home and to encourage their adoption)! So, what better way to celebrate than with some adorable puppy faces (including my own 2 rascals, of course) here on the blog? I love when clients bring their dogs to their session, it's so much fun for me as I'm obsessed with puppies, and it's nice to include every member of your family. :)

The two that rule my world...

And some sweet fur babies I've photographed this year...

I have to admit, it is strange for me to see my baby sister pregnant, but I am SO beyond thrilled to be an aunt and I can't wait until BriAnne and Colby's baby girl joins our family in mid September. I was home to co-host a joint baby shower this weekend (another younger sister of mine is also expecting in November, it's a regular baby boom!!), and we took advantage of the beautiful weather to take maternity photos in my parents' backyard. It was a beautiful night (despite the typical accident prone Bohan shenanagins, of course), and of course - my sister is stunning. I don't think I've ever seen her look so happy, she was positively glowing.

Bri and Colby - I'm so very happy for you guys, and I can't wait to meet baby girl very soon. I love you both, and I hope your love continues to grow as your family does.

Reese [Iowa City, IA Child and Family Life Cycle Photography]

Reese's session last year was an epic workout, as she loves to run and be active, so this year I came prepared to sweat. Haha. This little cutie is full of energy and sass, she and her parents Jenn and Bill are so much fun to be around. We had such a great time this year too, playing with bubbles, writing with chalk, and having a little dance party on the bridge. I can't get enough of her cute little outfits, and that tiara - she is just too much!! :) Reese definitely keeps me on my toes, and I absolutely love every minute of it.

Also, Reese's birthday is today - so happy 3rd birthday!! I hope all your "Tangerella" princess dreams come true. :)

Jenn, Bill, and Reese - it was great seeing you all again! I hope you like this sneak peek.
