Blizzard 2009

As everyone is well aware, the Mid-Atlantic region received a blizzard from Mother Nature in time for the weekend before Christmas. In Central Pennsylvania (depending on how far north you lived) people got anywhere from 6-24 inches of snow. At my house, I think we got about 12 inches of snow and it was the largest snow storm that our pug had seen in his life, but my husband and I along with our oldest dog had seen other large snow storms like this one. We had a blast in it and watching the dogs play in it. They both just loved it! They ran, jumped, danced and ate the snow.

I loved how the snow looked in one of our large oak trees.
The sun was beginning to set through our back yard.

Happy Holidays!

No holiday season would be complete without photos used for Christmas cards. My husband and I took a family photo last year but wanted to do something different this year, so we just are doing our pets and not the two of us (they are so much cuter than us anyway). So, here are some of my favorites from our pet session in our family room in front of the fireplace.

First up is our 8 year-old pit bull/American bulldog mix, Guiseppe (or Zeppie for short). He hates the camera and tries to eat it. My husband and I each had our dogs before we met so Zeppie came with my husband into the marriage. I have been in his life for four years now and love him as if he were mine from the beginning. He is such a sweet heart and is so kind and loving and the biggest baby you will ever meet. Then it was on to our 5 year-old pug, Oliver. He is a ham for the camera. He just loves it! Having a mom who is a photographer has turned him into a camera hog. He loves to pose. So, here are a couple of my favorites (I tried several different looks on him because he was so agreeable to it).



I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season filled with hope, joy and love!
