My GOODNESS!!! Our sweet Rocco Koi, your smile and “silly” laugh bring us so much joy!

Yesterday, after working on my spring mini session props, I ran to the back yard and set them all up, threw this outfit (and black socks, lol) on Rocco - ALL this in 20 minutes, just before we needed to take the kids to AWANA! WHOA!! I was sweating! I’m so glad I did it though!

Silas, is our newest pet! Olivia got him for her 7th birthday but, we are ALL in love with him. He is only ten weeks old and he WAS really, really fluffy. He started molting last week - like, so much molting has happened that homeboy has a bald spot on the back of his head! So, this quick little session with Rocco was also very much for Silas to make sure he didn’t look like a whacked out bunny in my sweet little client’s photography sessions in two weeks! HA! He passed the test! And, so do those props! Aren’t they so fun?!

I won’t be hosting these sessions in our back yard this year, it’s just not ready yet, but I was so happy to know that if I need to do a quick little session for our babes, it’s possible. Moving to this little half acre, city lot, that was a concern of mine, not having a pretty spot for photographs! My brain is just trained to look for the good light, where does the sun rise and set, what are the reflective surfaces that I’m dealing with, what’s in the background. . .and so on. One day we will be blessed with land again! I just know it!
