out of the office & welcome baby alair

04.24.12

The little man is off to grandma’s, Bauer is holding down the homestead with his “puppysitters” (my brother and his awesome girlfriend) and the hubby and I are off for a much needed week vacation! I hope to return rested with lots of photos to share! I will, of course, return all emails asap after we return.

Now onto a sweet newborn boy I managed to photograph before we leave! I’ve been bugging mom and dad to procreate for years now and I’m so glad they finally did! ;) They are going to be such great and loving parents. Alair is just the cutest!

Congratulations to the new family of three!
peace & pictures,
kelli

I’ve said it before on his blog but I love horses! So a session with two beautiful girls at a horse farm! Bliss!

Big sister, Elizabeth, is the horse rider in the family. Somebody is photo bombing Elizabeth’s photo! ;)

And Anna is such a character she had smiling the whole time. She’s more of a dancer and performer then horse rider.

Thank you to the “K” family I had a great time with all of you!
peace & pictures,

    It doesn’t get any better than photos of pretty girls with horses! The first B&W is my favorite…..

More pictures of Bauer. This first one is a little game of find the puppy.

I think this was his way of saying “no more photos please”.

peace & pictures,

    He is one adorable pup…..and I think he’d better get used to the camera in his face! :)

    I am a volunteer at Lake Haven and helped to take care of all of the Saint pups plus I list them on Petfinder – he is just adorable and so happy he has a new home.

    I fostered his brother, Scott, too!

  3. Terri

    OMG – you just get better & better. These are gorgeous photos! An “easy” subject , but I think you ‘ve captured his personality and I’ve never met the guy. Yet…

 

drum roll…

Meet…drum roll please…Bauer! If you’re into hockey you get the name.

A little more about Bauer. He’s traveled a long way already to be in our family. He was born in Georgia to two stray parents who were taken in. The rescue didn’t have enough room for him and his 6 litter mates so they traveled north to Newaygo Michigan. I found him on Petfinder.com and after Chris drove across the state to get him, he’s a part of the Taylor family! He’s about 11 weeks old, very sweet and likes to cuddle. We’re not sure what breed mix he is but thinking there’s some Saint Bernard and/or Great Pyrenees in there.
Yes, just Bauer. We made a very difficult and heartbreaking decision to return the girl puppy. It was the right decision for us and for her. She wasn’t bonding with our family like we had hoped but is quite the charmer and doing very well back at the rescue where they are finding the perfect home for her.

And the other little man in my life that I have to potty train.

peace & pictures,
kelli

    Bauer looks like a real sweetie :) I was wondering if he was a Saint Bernard.
