For Shackles

Earlier this week we had a few days of those crazy 40 mph+ winds, and this family was hoping for some Tiefort shots. With the amount of sand in the air, mixed with the strong & chilly winds, it wasn't looking so promising. But their sweet dog, Shackles, {14 years old!!} hasn't been doing so well lately and it was important for them to have the full family all together for the portraits... so we decided to head out and see what we could get. Fortunetly, eventhough the wind was still kickin' and chilly, the air cleared up for Tiefort to show...

We got some great more traditional-type family portraits at a few different locations - but the first one above of them all cuddled up was such a sweet moment to me. They have a sweet little girl {gorgeous blue eyes!!}, and Shackles did so great! It was easy to see she's lived a very loved life, and it was a pleasure to work with the whole family to get those great moments. {although it was tugging on my heartstrings the whole time!!! I came home and hugged my Quilla so tight!}
