It’s been a scorching couple of days. I hope everyone has been cooling down and blasting the air conditioning (yet another reason why in-home sessions are amazing). This home family session is a win in my book. We played some basketball and a belly rub session (for the dog, of course). What’s not to love?

Love is a four-legged word.

Can we get a moment to appreciate all the greenery in their home?

Gotta capture the boys in their natural element.

All is fair in dogs and basketball. Who’s with me? Let’s book your in-home session and stay cool out there!
