Isn't Loki adorable! He's an American Eskimo dog and Husky mix and wow, is he ready for winter! I love his expressions!

What can I say, I have dog fever.We have been working on adopting another rescue dog into our family since October, and it's taking longer than we'd like, and man-oh-man are we excited and impatient.We were supposed to meet our next potential dog this week, but due to schedules and scar trouble where she was fixed, now we are waiting another week. If you know me at all, you know patience is not one of my best qualities. But man the universe is teaching me!Anyway, here are some photos of the adorable Laney who I shot a few weeks ago. Laney is the cutest, but let's be clear that she has a wonderful forever family and this is not the dog I'm looking at! Ha!It's my second time photographing this gorgeous girl, and at the end is a photo of her sibling Loki. Photos of that sweetheart tomorrow!

Family games are a fantastic time to take photos of the family -- you get genuine laughs, screams, smiles and joy. And tension!I had a family last week who was up for this, and we met up and played Jenga and Avocado Smash before heading outdoors. I love the real moments captured in this session. (Don't worry, we got a few posed shots for posterity as well.)

Last week I got to make another moving portrait for a client. But instead of it focusing on the kids or a baby, I got to focus on A PUPPY! You guys, this was so much fun. Somebody pinch me now.

Welp, winter has arrived! And in perfect form, Ezra asked me this morning at breakfast, "Mom, when is it going to be warm again?" Ah, the youth and their patience. I believe it was last June when he asked me when he could go sledding again.Anyway! We are lucky enough to have a small sledding hill at the end of our block, so winter playdates often involve sledding and hot cocoa by the fire (at least while it's above 25 degrees -- translation: until next week).Here are some fun photos of the kids on the hill this weekend. They found a jump and had the best time "getting air."

We had a pretty quiet weekend that required very little leaving the house, lots of games and puzzles and lots of eating. We did get our holiday tree decorated and we went sledding, so it all felt very festive with friends stopping by and hot cocoa and the likes.I hope you all had a great weekend as well.Since fall is my busiest season, I take the third week of December off each year to, you know, shop and wrap and make cookies and do holiday stuff. But I also use this time to plan for my business and set goals and finish things like mileage reports for taxes. Because of this, I only have two more weeks of shoots happening, and then I'm done until January! It's a really fun time to be settling in for winter and to have this break to regroup. I hope you all can do the same!
