A Lab and His Family

 

Third time’s a charm for this family photo session with their two “kids,” a two-legged 6-year-old, Callen, and a four-legged chocolate Labrador Retriever, Porter. The first time we scheduled the shoot, we had to cancel due to wind gusts of 20 mph and much colder than expected temperatures (the hazards of being an outdoor photographer). Two days before the next scheduled date, Brad (the husband) broke his leg. Then it was winter, so we waited until spring when we knew we’d have consistently warm weather. And we had a beautiful day for our session—not too hot, not too cold (or windy); it was just right. :)

We met at Morven Park in Leesburg, VA, where I photographed their family photos. It’s a great place to shoot, Callen had a blast running around, and Porter was happy with all the extra treats he received (most dogs love photo sessions for that reason, which is easy to understand).
