I recently had the joy of photographing one of my returning families at the beautiful Grapevine Botanical Gardens. As always, they included their sweet pup, Ivy. She's so photogenic!


The park was buzzing that day, with plenty of people and distractions for Ivy, but she did such a great job staying focused. Despite the crowd, we captured some truly sweet moments of the family together, from playful giggles between mom, dad, and their son to a few heart-melting shots of Ivy proudly posing with her favorite humans.


It’s always special when families come back year after year. Watching them grow and being trusted to preserve these memories means the world to me.


If you’ve been thinking about updating your family photos (or including your furry family member this time!), now’s the perfect time to schedule your session. Let’s create something beautiful together. Book your session here or contact me to get started!
